JiWire's quick take
Likes
Robust 3G connections, port for external antenna, integrated 3G/Wi-Fi management utility, quad-band for worldwide roaming, SMS support.
Dislikes
Nascent coverage, antenna easily broken or lost, no UMTS roaming.
Good for
Cingular voice subscribers and world travelers who need high-speed data connections on the go.
Bad for
Those who already have a contract with Verizon or Sprint would do better to stick with EV-DO and get the voice subscriber discount.
