Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"As someone who doesn't reside in the USA, I was wondering what would be the best way to get internet for my computer in the US for a couple of weeks? If it were Europe I know I'd look for some prepaid data. Is there anything similar offered by American carriers? A MiFi or a data SIM that I can tether from would work, but I'm trying to maintain a tight budget. Help!"
I currently own a HTC Touch cruise, which I believe is the current flagship Windows Mobile phone,,feel free to disagree. I also own a 16GB Iphone. I have owned a Blackberry WIFI curve before, but sold it after 3 mos of use. I have also owned a Nokia E90 and sold that after 4mos. the E90 sucked cuz the 4 inch screen isn't fully utilized when viewing Slingplayer,,,only maybe 2.0 of its 4.0 screen is. I was pissed and sold that 900.00 USD piece of shit. Having had the pleasure of tasting all 4 flavors,,if I had to chose amongst the 4, I would go with the iphone. I still keep and use my HTC Touch,,,but its Touch UI via WM6 really sucks a fat Di@k. I mainly just use my HTC,,,,not for its UI experience but for what it does that the IPhone can't do yet. So I mainly use my HTC Touch for 2 things.
(1) Slingplayer via the entire 2.8 screen,,,cool love it!!!!
(2) and making my IPhone a 3G IPhone via WMwifirouter program (WM 5 & 6 compatible only). Really cool program to make your Iphone 3G via WIFI,, wherever you can pick up a UTMS/HSDPA signal. I just keep my HTC in my back pocket,,,and if I am in a WIFI deadzone,,,but my HTC has a 3G signal.....Yippie....then my IPhone will feel the love to....via this program...hense a 3G Iphone!!!
Once the 3G Iphone comes out....then I guess I only need a WM phone for Slingplayer....lol....cuz surfing the internet via WM6 Sucks fat Di@ks.
So now to get to the blackberry,,,,well i owned one, and I frankly didnt see much of a great user experience via the UI verses WM6. Even the blackberry Web browser was shitty and I ended up downloading Opera....which I also have on mt HTC. However the Iphones Safari,,,is hands down better then the Opera 8.6whatever,,,browser.
So for my rating of the blackberry:
(1) UI sucks - same as WM
(2) Web browser Sucks,,,,even Opera is better,,,,and S60 Nokia is better.
(3) No slingplayer....yet.
(4) No WMwifirouter program for this.
(5) even if it gets 3g,,,who f'ing care....so instead of slow shity UI experience,,,Ill have a fast shitty experience....lol.
MY Conclusion: IPhones UI and webrowsing touch experience is hands down the best. And I say that holding my nose,,,cuz I hate Steve Job's Communist control over its
3rd party programming future,,,and his obsession with making everything go through itunes's control center for purchasing programs in the future. But for the hardware and technology,,,it is (again holding my nose) the best out there. My HTC cant even come close to it. So if the new blackberry doesnt even have a comparable touch UI,,,,but a stupid roll ball,, as the curve did,,,,then there asses a fu@ked. Looks to me like all they did was change the configurations of their icons, made then look different,,,,gave a new theme,,,changed the phone alittle by design,,,but the UI is still the same track ball sucking shit. If this is there BIG answer to me giving up my iphone.....then they can suck shit. Also,,,,with the enterprise feature coming out in 2.0 of IPhones firmware....then Blackberry will realy be screwed. That is there only last card there holding,,,,and the IPhone is about to bitch slap them for it. The only thing I did like about my blackberry was how it looked by design,,,,but like a dumb blond with big boobs,,,,you can only hld on to it for so long,,before you realize u have a lemon compared to the Iphone. Believe me,,I am not a IPhone lover,,,I say this holding my nose each time. I wont even think of buying a MAC,,,i own vista. So I am speaking only from a JOE Q PUblic experience of using all 4 phones..... BLackberry I hope your listening cuz if this is the best your coming out with your FU@KED!!!!!
How come I didn't know about this 3g>wifi>iphone thing before! Thanks so much for letting us know :) 3g here I come. (if they launch the 3g phone in june, I'll be the first one to buy it).

Worst use of the English language ever
I always thought praising the iPhone and saying everything else is crap was the definition of an Apple fan boy. Now I dont know what to believe
