had some friends who've had constant problems with that series of nokia.  have others who've never had a problem with it.

a co-worker and i both have a samsung n105 and have been very pleased with it:

been really happy with voicestream -- short of their inability to change my bill due date to a more reasonable date.  they're certainly better than at&t, my last provider and *much* cheaper for similar service.

fwiw, here's a better link that lists out all the plans from voicestream in your area:
