I would suggest you go with the Samsung I300 from Sprint. Combining everything into a single, pocketable device is soooooo convenient and your wireless data coverage is improved dramatically over what YY offered! Of course, if GSM coverage in your area is decent and you don't need color, you may want to holdout for the Treo. Other options include the Visorphone, the SB3000, and Kyocera 6035. These should all work fine if you don't mind carrying a brick on your side. Your final option is just switching over to OS or GoAmerica. Personally, I prefer OS (great CS and TS) of those two providers.

You must have missed OmniSky is in a lot more trouble than GoAmerica. The SEC has been demanded reports of their financial status for a while now.

I haven't read up on it lately, but I believe they were being delisted because of their stock being SOOO low and their quarter report not being filed.

GSM and GPRS

You had me really excited and then I realized I don't live in Canada so they can't help me anyways.

I am really debating this issue... is it worth it to wait for GSM and GPRS? It will be more expensive and faster but does anyone know possible prices and equipment costs?
