Talking about sticky services - I've run into two incredible deals recently, which I haven't fully adopted because they're also incredibly painful to switch to.
Google's GMail seems like an amazing idea - a gigabyte of storage for your web based email, coupled with an incredibly zippy, lightweight and powerful UI. Unfortunately, I'm too firmly wedded to my Hotmail account to consider switching - because of the effort involved with telling everyone, and also because I'm uncertain of what Google's long term commitment to email is.
I've also subscribed to Reliance's CDMA mobile phone service - incredible value for money when it comes to long distance calling (1 buck a minute to any cellphone in India!) - but I'm still lugging my GSM phone along as my primary phone :( Again - too much effort shifting off, and an icky non-Nokia UI on the LG phone that I'm not sure I'll settle down well with.
If only making these transitions were easier...
