Amongst all the noise surrounding the iPhone last week, did anyone notice slash care about the announcement of T-Mobile @ Home? Free calls when originated in a WiFi hotspot? Excellent.

Devin can be described as sensibly impulsive, consistently non-committal, and passionately impartial to the world around him.
Sounds good… bit of a shame I don’t like in the U.S. — or anywhere T-Mobile is, for that matter.
Yeah, it’s darn good. And they’re definitely the first carrier to preemptively tackle the VOIP issue.
I have this service because I won the promotion from T-Mobile on July 3. I wrote about everything that I won in a post that can be seen here:

Here are my issues:
The switching from router to cell tower of course
My phone will spontaneously reboot for no reason, and has done this at least 4 times.
The router almost constantly drops calls, and there was a point where I had to reboot it everyday!
This past Sunday, my router decides to all of the sudden block port 80, even after I rebooted the thing twice! I ended up having to reset it and re-enter all the credentials.
Wired versus wireless connection. Check this out: If my desktop and another computer are both connected via wired connection, I can browse both computers by name with no problem. But I can’t browse by name when going from wired to wireless connection, I HAVE to use the IP address. Again, no rhyme, no reason.
I use a Linksys WRT54g-TM router, and this surprises me because I always recommend Linksys products. Add to this that my ‘free’ plan seemingly isn’t free, because T-Mobile doesn’t want to give contest winners the full benefit of using the @Home service. My minutes are all being pulled from my Whenever minutes instead of being free when I’m on the home network! This is so unfair, and I will go and talk to them about this tomorrow. Are there any other contest winners out there? I really want to get into contact with you please!
