The T-Mobile part would be lovely except for the fact that they have lousy coverage in this bit of the sometimes-frozen-north.
To be precise: it's one of their "service partners", which in this case, looking at the map overlays, I *think* is Sprint, whose service quality in this neck of the woods is not fantastic. I have Verizon, which is pricier, but has been rock solid reliable for service for me, even when I'm driving in random bits of rural New England (and since I use my phone as a GPS, that part is very handy: the only time I've dropped service is the middle of a couple of the state parks. And when there's only one road, anyway, so it's not like you have to turn anywhere.)
That's the second time Dark Sky's come up in a conversation recently, so... (goes downloads)
