Summary: Alltel has gone a LONG way in providing the best coverage area for Western Michigan. Buying a quality handset will get you coverage nearly everywhere, as an avid outdoorsman, 2,300 miles of mtn biking in a three county area, I get way off the beaten track and with a simple Razr have been able to share images back to my newspaper website using MMS. I'm in the market for a smartphone and am testing a Palm 755p. After checking on the Palm site I made sure the phone had the feature. After getting the phone and using it for the weekend. I love it except they don't allow MMS using the Palm. They allow email, but here's why that doesn't work. I manage a website, three actually, and I have users who send me picture messages that I then pass thru to the site. If, big if, if I can get them to change to emailing me photos there is the issue of the 6-8 additional attachments, Alltel logos and disclaimers that I can't strip out of the email. So now I'm looking at the HTC touch, which, inexplicably they allow MMS on... Please be smart and let the 30 buck a month data users pick how they want to text message.
