Do you know if the Minstrel supports VDX or is it just Edge and Prism?

Omnisky supports only the Prism, Platinum, and Edge.

free omnisky-is it worth it?

Does anyone currently use OmniSky? Is it worth the $30/month for an annual contract?

Lots of people here use Omnisky. As long as you have decent coverage in your area (be sure to check), I think it is well worth the money, especially now with the free modem deal. Be sure to pick up an antennna for the Samsung SCH-3500 from your local SprintPCS store and to download Blazer (web browser) if you do decide to go with Omnisky. These two accessories will greatly increase your wireless internet experience.

I like OmniSky much better than YY, for its coverage and support and, as I have posted elsewhere, even although the coverage maps and the Techs at OmniSky say I cannot receive coverage where I live, I usually can - particularly in the off hours (early morning & evening). I use the Samsung antenna where I need it and I do like Blazer - the newest version is much faster, too.
