My phone bill with AT&T and the iPhone is $70 - $80 a month. With T-Mobile I can get it down to near $50 a month. <br /><br />WMP is just as chunky and thankfully don't use that. I play my music in <a href="http://Foobar2000.org" target="_blank">http://Foobar2000.org</a> and will sync the N1 with <a href="http://getsongbird.com" target="_blank">http://getsongbird.com</a> which I have used throughout the years with much success.<br /><br />I also don't use my phone for my main audio / video device. I used to in the past but never bother with it now.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments. I will make sure to let you know how the N1 is.

But if you really think T-mob is gonna be an improvement over ATT... good luck. Also, maybe it's just cause I run on a Mac, but iTunes always works beautifully for me, and is far less bloated and clunky than Windows Media Player. Not to mention, the only syncing software for the Nexus One are third party. I've heard the best one is DoubleTwist but that it still needs polish. While syncing is beautiful with Gmail integration (for contacts.... that calendar is horrid) if you use your phone as your main portable audio/video what have you... yeah not that great. Other than all that ranting (sorry for the wall of text) have fun with your N1! I look forward to seeing your thoughts. If it supported ATT's 3G network, I would probably buy one.

If I wasn't so happy with Sprint -- I know, it's weird -- I would have gone for the Nexus instead of the Palm Pre. Congratulations!
