depends which country you're in as to which form is best. for highest coverage in Australia you'd need Telstra's proprietary NextG format, for the cheaper (10x cheaper) carriers you'd need whatever they are using.
i think rather than making any particular network inbuilt in the phone, an add-in module that could be swapped would be a much better way to go. all i really care about is: * makes and receives phone calls * Bluetooth (for headset to comply with driving laws here, and data transfer) * some sort of PDA functionality (organiser, todo list, etc.) I am yet to find a device which does all of those without crashing/stuffing up/being incompatible with next release/not syncing with my Linux or Mac computers. If I want to browse the net while I'm out - well that's what I've got two laptops and wireless broadband for. If I need something quickly, I'm not going to appreciate it on a tiny screen anyway - I don't count the latest YouTube video as a need.
