I decided to add t-zones back a WEEK after they raised the price.
boo.

Well, I wanted to sell the phone to make a few bucks, since i got it for free. But I have not even received it yet, so very easy to take the unopened box to a T-Mobile store and just say, give me that cheap crappy texting phone instead, and switch me to the cheap internet as well. Then go home and pop the sim in my N900? Right, Hu Hu? High Fives? Anyone?
But then I would need to do some 'tweakin' as I have seen in this board, in order to get the internet to work correctly on the N900, right?

So, that "free" phone costs you $10-$20 extra per month, for 2 years.

update:
a few weeks ago, t-mo blocked my t-zones access.
"Device not compatible with rate plan"
i thing i'd only used 132mbs for month to that point, but I also got bored/greedy and streamed a few episodes of Code Monkeys...
tread as thou wilt, but consider doing so lightly.

hmmm.
just got a 5800 for my kid, added a line to my plan, it includes the t-zones free, but epc/internet2 dont work to give her access.
anyone crack this on the 5800 yet?

some people seem to have had to set up their N900 for T-Mo 3G. I did not. In fact, I was completely taken aback when I looked down and saw it download so fast.
the sim you get from T-Mo should already have the settings on it, and the N9c should detect them au-to-magically.
if not - settings>internet connections>connections>T Mobile internet :edit>access point name: "internet2.voicestream.com"
if you don't see "T-Mobile Internet" one of the connections, select "new".
Or you could call T-Mo cust serv and have them send the settings to your phone. It seems like there used to be a way to do that from the website, but I can't remember.
confusing yet?
