I had one problem with T-Mobile customer service once, and it really ticked me off. I was about to switch to a different provider. I scoured forums like (howards) and read all the horror stories of all the other providers, and decided to stick with T-Mobile.

I will not be owning any more Motorolla phones ever again though, had enough of those!

TrueMove (Thailand)
iPhone
iTunes

Quite happy with my thoroughly hacked iPhone. GPS would be nice, but otherwise does all and more for me. Have a Berry too.

Telia (one of the larger providers)
Nokia 6630 ("Smart"phone)
iSync (Calendar and contacts); rarely a note or piece of music via bluetooth

3rd party:
Calendar application Aquacalendar. Particularly useful back at 10.4 when Snerdware's GroupCal sync'ed my work Outlook calendar with iCal and then onwards to the phone.
Gmail client, slow but once in a while handy.

Phone is not really good. Heavy, clumsy and slow. Needs restart too often. Service is basically ok (coverage), haven't needed customer support.

Looking forward to iPhones arriving in Denmark...

Sprint

I dunno, some kind of Palm Treo thingamabobble.

No, I just make occasional phone calls with it.

None. Zero. Zip.

Nearly useless and highly annoying, like all cell phones.

I want to be able to hook the damn thing to my computer (USB cradle), be in Excel or FileMaker on in a web browser, select a phone number anywhere and hit a specified hotkey, let's say F9, and the freaking phone dials the selected number.

I want to be able to script Filemaker to dial any string at any point as part of a script.

When attached, incoming calls should pop up a window on the computer showing caller ID, last time this person called, list view of ALL the times this person has EVER called on the left and list view of ALL the times I have even PLACED a call to this person on the right, with a button to optionally record the conversation to .mp3.

I should be able to manage my voicemail messages on the computer, setting up rules:

If [incoming tel number matches List, select, "Employees at MyCompany Inc"]
--> Do not ring
--> Play voicemail [select from list of recorded voicemails, "not in office"]
--> Record and file in, select, "Corporate Voicemails"
Else If [incoming tel number matches List, select, "Special Folks"]
--> Ring [specified number of times before...]
--> Play voicemail [select from list of recorded voicemails, "yo this is AHunter"]
--> Record and file in, select, "Personal Voicemails"
Else If [Incoming tel number matches list, select, "Jerks and Salesfolk"]
--> Do not ring
--> Play voicemail [select from list of recorded voicemails "number is not in service"]
--> Do not record
Else
--> Do not ring
--> Play voicemail [select from list of recorded voicemails, "sorry I missed your call"]
--> Record and file in, select, "Personal Voicemails"
End If

Those settings, along with the recorded messages I create, should be loaded onto the phone and those behaviors operate whether cradled or not.

All messages that folks leave should be played back TO THE COMPUTER i.e., downloaded as .mp3 files that are then filed appropriately according to the rules I set, each time cradled.

Oh WHAT, it doesn't DO any of that? I can't control the phone AT ALL from my computer? All I can do is synch my tel & address book on the Mac with
the one on the phone, and even there it has to be phone numbers I enter in to Palm Desktop or Apple Address Book, I can't choose a FileMaker db or other app that I might prefer?

Fine. I'll keep the little toy around for times I am away from computer & desk and need to make a call — such occasions are known to me by the term "emergencies", by the way —*and other than that, no use for the damn thing.

AT&T
iPhone
Yep, iTunes
Not yet, waiting for 2.0
Love the phone, the coverage here is good. Changing plan options for the iPhone (adding more sms, for example) doesn't always work on the AT&T site, but a quick call to them fixed that (on a Sunday!).

Too late. All of the retail stores are out. Everyone pretty much guesses that this is all for the June release of the 3G iPhone. (Finally the N95 Nokia killer)

My work had a system that did that. If someone left you a message, it would make an mp3 and forward it to your outlook. Vonage does that as well.
