[pct-l] Emails on the PCT

[be hope]

Consider a GSM unlocked smart phone / dual SIM card cell; one for prepaid
 talk on T Mobile; one for $2 (G2) or $3 (G3) only-on-the-day-it-is used on
T Mobile for data.  Review the Samsung Galaxy Y duo, the Sony Xperia tipo
dual; the Sony Xperia E dual due out in Q1 2013; the Nokia Asha 308.
Everyone laughs at T mobile's trail coverage on the PCT, but there were
places where I had three bars and the Verizon and ATT folks had nothing or
one bar.  Or course there were places where I had no bars too!

Happy Holidays to all; may a trail take you someplace special next year!
be hope
