Depending if they are available in your area you could look into NexTel. I
have an i1000plus (though I do miss the games from my Nokia 5190).
NexTel is really pushing them (lot's of ads) into the Tech area. I've
received a couple of mailers and seen ads in PC Week.
The Business Network Direct Connect is really nice. The phone will act
like a 2-Way radio. I think we pay an additional $5 or so a month for unlimited
DirectConnect. You should check with your local rep. I don't think they
distinguish between peak/off-peak. I believe my plan (I don't pay the
bill...got to love the company perks) is around $50-60/mo. with something like
400 or 500 minutes.
I think that only Motorola makes phones for them. The i1000plus is probably a
little bigger than a StarTac.
