I'm happy with the speed of my Treo 700p on Sprint.
Love makes you do the wacky.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Posting from the iPhone and so far this thing rocks. The keyboard is actually very usable.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
What color is it?

Nd is the first person I know who actually owns an iPhone. I'm not surprised in the least.
I'm glad to hear your experience so far is a positive one. There are so many activation horror stories out there, even from the editors of Macworld - [link]

The part that I thought was so bad was when he goes to the AT&T store for help activating his account and then tell him they are only selling iPhones that day.

It's black. All the iPhones are black.
My experience was quite good. There was a small snag since the address on my Cingular account was out of date but a five minute call to AT&T fixed it right up and the registration worked with no worries.

For some reason I thought they came in assorted colors. I was sure I'd seen a red one. Oh well. I don't want one anyway. Those grapes are probably sour.

I wonder if Stephen Colbert got one? I loved his review of his non-existent one, especially when he pointed out that it weighed hardly anything....

Does anyone know anything about boosting cell signal? I'm headed to the Adirondacks tomorrow and cell phone coverage is dismal. There is one tower 6 miles away and no others anywhere near. My son spent a lot of time on the roof last summer texting and I was able to get a weak signal in the driveway. The middle of the lake is a bit better. Other than that not so much.
There seem to be a lot of products that boost the signal of the phone itself and a number of antenna solutions, but I have gone blind trying to figure out what is hype and what is fact. It wouldn't make sense to pay more than putting a land line in, but having my cell would be a big help.

The truth is that all most all of the antenna boosters are hype. Your phone would need a power boost and that is regulates by the FCC.
