Don't want to pay more $$ to AT$T but want decent coverage... Would love for T-Mobile to improve coverage and get some newer phones like the Droid X...

I was a T-Mobile subscriber back to the Voice Stream days. Just recently gave up waiting for a leading edge Android smart phone (I wanted Snapdragon and Android 2.1). After more than ten years with T-Mobile and with no contract obligations, I left.

 I left for Sprint and got a Palm Pixi with webOS for free (with 2-yr contract). With HP in charge I figure there will be follow-on Palm development and products. I could have waited for the Evo which was exactly what I wanted, but the Pixi was the price I wanted (free). Love the dead simple intuitive webOS interface. Screen is a bit small but otherwise with multi-touch and mutl-tasking, the Pixi shines.

 Don't know why T-Mobile is so slow getting new advanced Android phones to market. They led with the G1 but now are behind the curve.

 I'm paying less for unlimited data and messaging plus my voice plan with Sprint than I was paying for voice alone with T-Mobile. (Both are less expensive than Verizon or AT&T.) But it was handsets that ultimately forced me to try someone other than T-Mobile.

I switched to T-Mobile for the same reason, to get the G1 and because the rates were good.

Now I m tired of the G1 and want the GalaxyS or iPhone.  Since I live in upstate new york, we 

have the hspa+ data network and I expect Apple to figure out that allowing a limited deployment

of the iPhone on this part of the T-Mobile network would provide a great user experience in the

big northeastern metroplex.   If Apple really cares about it's customers,  they will unlock their phones

or allow T-Mobile's hspa subcribers to get iPhones too, instead of waiting for AT&T to get their

slow network fixed.

No data plan, just family voice plan and family text plan. I'm around wifi all day at home and on campus, so it works out nicely. The initial investment is quite steep($560 after tax youch!) but the freedom to have a great phone, pick the plan I want, and leave whenever I want won out.
