Why you need the T-Mobile Connection Manager
Not very happy with the quality of service at the moment, I downloaded the lightweight T-Mobile Connection Manager client. These proprietary clients are a dime a dozen, heck every wi-fi card maker has their own. This one isn't anything special except it did actually make my connection stay on and not drop me after I installed it. The client also manages any access point you might have nearby, including EDGE/GPRS and VPN networks. Why it works better, I don't know exactly, but it does. If you use the T-Mobile service in Starbucks or elsewhere, I recommend it. Less frustration equals happy bloggers. We don't want no mad and road-raging bloggers. That would be messy.

The main reason I run into problems when using public hotspots with the built in windows clients is because that the order of preferred networks lists some spurious items. So, if you have T-Mobile down near the bottom of your priority list, and suddenly something labeled linksys shows up and you have it listed higher, your network will switch.
I'm always superstitious of anything messing with my network stack, so I prefer to use the built in manager. I expect I'll move over to vista sometime in the next six months, and I'll have a new thing to learn.

Or you can simply get Vista and enjoy the new improved Network and Sharing Center together with Network Locations - for every network you connect on - so you can set Public, Private, Work, etc. Network Locations which automatically set your security and sharing settings as well ... Beats T-Mobile's little thingie - which I loved on XP though ;)
