unfortunately not =| In the US we only have AT&T tht gives 3G, T-Mobile works fine, but only EDGE

T-Mobile is great since they offer great deals to tourists with PayGo SIMs

[manny09]

whats the difference between edge and 3g?

[angiepangie]

EDGE is much slower

[manny09]

so tmobile is my best bet?

if so where can i get hold of one?

do at&t not offer pay as you go deals?

will edge work with navigon? As I will be travelling around the states abit.

T-mobile and AT&T both offer pay as you go plans.
Which one you use is up to you (and it depends on what area you're in too.. because some areas AT&T has horrible coverage and T-mobile amazing, and vice versa)

Navigon doesn't require internet connection since all the maps are pre-downloaded. Just make sure you have the NA version not the EUR version

I tried to use a PayGo sim in my 3G and it was no dice.
