I do not want this phone to be subsidized by Tmobile. I have already bought this and I DO NOT want to pay 25 for the same data that I pay $5 now. DO NOT BRING THIS TO T-MOBILE SUBSIDIZE PERIOD.
Do your own math $5 Vs $25
for 2 years
$5 X 24 = $120.
$25 x 24 = $600.
You are saving $480 on a 2 year period.
Do all us a favor and quit whining about high sales tag on the phone.
If you look closely then you can tell that over the 2 year that you pay for data plan to Tmobile with the same price you can get the phone now, so basically its free.
How hard is that?
I believe you're talking about the TZones data plan, which is no longer available. Must've been grandfathered in. But it blocks the ports to use some IM and VOIP apps, and I believe it goes through a proxy. I had it for my N95 for years. My biggest regret about cancelling my cell service was losing that data plan.
Hmm Web2Go, is that like WAP optimized? But sweet, if that's really the plan I can get for full web on the n900 then thanks! I thought I was limited to the expensive plans.

the new web2go is all open there is no proxy or anything needed for this.
Tzones is the one I used to use on my N95 too but I upgraded to G1 and i had to sign for the android package and got that 35 a month but not too long ago they have introduced this 19.99 for unlimited internet and sms or if you dont want the sms, internet is 9.99 and I am telling you there is no kind of block on this I can still use the voip the gizmo on this with my N95 and still stream from nokia internet radio which I was not able to with my Tzones, but Later down before upgrading to G1 i changed the APN for Tzones and it was working like a full internet too.
I swear, if this all checks out next year then TMobile has me for a happy customer. I was kinda frowning at the price earlier. Though I'll still get a cheap voice plan to go with this. But $10 for unlimited data + $30-40 for the voice plan is a deal!
I can't make head or tail out of your postings. In this one, are you saying it'll only let me add this plan after I choose a voice plan and a phone? In which case, I have to get a subsidized phone from them anyway? And you mention "hack"? I thought with the N900 and a good plan, there are no "hacks", or unauthorized uses? I know it's a bit straight-laced.
The calculations in your earlier postings don't make sense because $480 after 2 years is not the same as getting $480 now. I'm certainly not going to pay $650 for a phone if I can get, say, a Sholes, or Xperia X3 for $200. I'm an enthusiast and all, but c'mon, don't ask me to "do all us a favor and quit whining."

Do you already have a Tmobile service or not? if you dont then anyway you have to get a plan with them if you want to use the 3G in USA. If you already do then all you need to do is call the customer service then ask them to put you in the plan i said earlier.
Do not worry about the hack that was for the Tzones which was long time ago when tmobile used to offer that web service which had a proxy settings and was a optimized wap access meaning you were only allowed to do certain things on web, not like having a total internet which did not block you on any thing you do with that internet. and that hack was for that plan. now there is no need of any kind of the hack if you have a web2go service.
I would really love to know where you would be getting a xperia X3 for $200, i will jump on that too. That phone has not been announced yet and there are only couple of pictures floating around and a UI video so far. And how could you be so sure that Tmobile will carry this and you will get it for 200. And whats the time frame you are looking at, waiting for another 2 years for that phone to drop in the market.
Its all up to you if you want to pay 25 for the same thing you will get for 5.
Thats right flex pay, more likely a pre-paid monthly service, every thing you get on the contract plan you get on this except some features like loyalty plan and upgrade credit and so forth.
Looks like we can use the 10mbps HSPA+ speed starting from 2010 if this is true.
HSPA+ has already started. The base stations they're installing now support it and have improved management utilities - just a matter of flipping a switch after HSPA is going smoothly in an area...
For N900, speed boost may not be as important as battery life and latency improvements.
