Hey all, I live in Milwaukee, WI and I currently am a verizon customer, who will be contract free in about a month and a half. I would really like to know of anyone who has had any luck finding a US wireless provider that has an unlocked phone that will work with my N800, enabling me to use it for internet when I am out of WiFi range...
any suggestions?
Thanks.

T-Mobile charges $30 a month to have the T-Mobile HotSpots (Starbucks) and EDGE/GPRS unlimited data plan on top of your regular phone plan. Also, it's correct that you do not have to have an unlocked phone.
Bandwidth meters tell me that I get anywhere from 40Kbps up to 220Kbps downstream. Upstream is around 20-50Kbps. (Used www.surewest.com) and selected "Test Speed" at the top for this. What is everyone else getting as maybe that will help uforiax make an informed decision.

T-Mobile rolled back the price of their "Total Internet" plan to $20. So, I would say that plan is a viable option for people who don't need 3G or want to tether only occasionally. For existing customers on "Total Internet", I would suggest getting your rate changed ASAP, as T-Mobile won't switch you over automatically.
As for performance, I'm getting about the same kbps rates as you--but it varies widely depending on location.
any suggestions?
Thanks.
