Well, I can tell you about driving. First, most of the vehicles of conveyance in China have 2 wheels. But seriously, there are a lot of cars. You need a Chinese Driver's License to drive in China, and the written test is in Chinese. My son has a driver and a van, so I never have need to drive. My daughter-in-law has a motor scooter. When we go to another city or country, we take taxis. BTW, my cellphone with a Chinese simcard worked on the Great Wall of China, 2.5 hours from Beijing!!!

In many places, you can rent SIM Card and even Data Cards for your laptop.

I use Verizon. Works everywhere -- never had a dropped call, never had an instance where I couldn't get a signal. Just spent 3 weeks in China (6 different cities in 4 different provinces), and had connectivity the whole time for cell, text, and Internet. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Phillips [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 12:01 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: SmartPhone I spent 2.5 years with 100% travel around the US & Canada and never really had any issues with Sprint's network. Like a previous post said, I was able to roam on Verizon in the rare event that there wasn't a Sprint signal.

I can't even get a Sprint signal at my house. But, travel about a mile either way, and it works fine. It's like that around the country. -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 11:41 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: SmartPhone My wireless industry insiders say that Sprint is a bad carrier, and a hurting company in general. Any opinions as a subscriber? Speaking of wireless: Anyone going to CTIA? I'll be in the area for a couple of days and I have a pass. But I'm not hanging around Las Vegas, and will soon be mozing on over to the Grand Canyon.
