1. Personally, I would (did) switch from Verizon Wireless. I don't keep up with VW policies but they crippled the GPS in the blackberry. Even if they enabled it by now, they still crippled the phone when it was released and that's the point. They pulled the same stunt with Bluetooth years ago which is why I voted with my money to go elsewhere. Prior to switching, I was using their service from when they were regional as Bell Atlantic.

2. If you read these forums, you'll see dates from mid-June to "delayed for months". I'm hoping the June 17th date is a winner and we'll see it in the business channel tomorrow. June 25th, and July 15th are also talked about dates.

3. I think Sprint offers an unlimited everything plan at somewhere around $100, so, that's probably the best deal; they seem to be last to get phones. T-Mobile is slowly rolling out 3G so getting a Bold unlocked won't get you high speed but the usually are the low cost leader and you can unlock a AT&T phone and use it on T-Mobile. AT&T and Verizon are pretty much the same in cost.
