rootdr, two of my coworkers have 8700's on Cingular here in Denver and they are constantly falling off the data network and when they are on it, Edge seems considerably slower than evdo. The hardware is faster and the screen is nicer, but I think I'm sticking with my 7250.
Ninjatek, thank for the advice. I was doing well, no DCR for almost two days, but I had to reboot today and now I can't get back on the network. >:-[ Calling VZW support right now.
