Hi all,

Anyone out there using a T-Mobile BlackBerry to get iWindsurf via the Internet browser? How's the coverage (especially at the Hatchery and Dougs)?

I just started using a T Mobile Blackberry at the gorge this year. It worked fine at Doug's, Rowena, the Hatch, Event Site...No problems that I can recall (it seems easier to use with the "wap" iwindsurf site than the regular internet, but either works). Hope this helps.

I agree. I've been using t-mobile for the last 10 years on various phones and have had good coverage in the gorge. Maryhill has gotten better too, as it was shakey in the past. I'm using the Blackberry now and no issues. If you head into the hills you might start having problems.

I also have excellent service at any of the Gorge sailing spots but do not have any service north of the Thriftway grocery store in White Salmon (where I live).

Thanks all, I appreciate all the answers. Looks like T-Mobile's got the edge on Verizon in the Gorge-at least for the BlackBerry.

The T Mobile Blackberry system also works very well on the Oregon coast, with the exception of Pistol River...Gold Beach though gets the data.
