Pick me me!
Hello! I'd like to win ... something!
My bad - looks like I was roaming for no reason!
Here in Birmingham, UK I seem to be getting EDGE on T-Mobile on the old Web 'n' Walk plan. Anyone else seen this?
Works well on the T-Mobile MDA Vario in the UK. If you only use Y mail, search and Flickr, it's a godsend - but if (like me) you couldn't do without google, you'll find yourself slipping into PIE too often for this to be worth it.
An interesting & very useful technology - I'm considering the Finepix F31 for this very reason, low light shooting.

Though - why is the flash being demonstrated by William Shatner?
Overcome with lussst
I'm in the UK, and I've also had one for months. #34, try the "keypad" link on the bottom left softkey when you're in a call - voila keypad.

All in all it's a great phone, but not perfect. Data is also v. cheap in the UK, albeit only at GPRS speeds, and connecting to GPRS takes a little while.

Main crit for the phone is a slow CPU - changing from landscape to portrait, which you'll do a lot, can be slow. More: although the hardware can do 802.11g, the MDA version is locked to 802.11b.

But when it gets to working it's fantastic. Install Opera Mobile, turn off images, and you can have all the data you want. Even MSN or IRC (PocketIRC) connect on the move - combine this with the full Qwerty keyboard and it's magic!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
