Doesn't Even More Plus plan come with unlimited data? Why are you paying an addition 10/mo for your data plan?

I got a free touch pro 2 with a 2 year contract and flipped it like you did on Craigslist for $400 to subsidize the n900. I was on an unlimited family plan with another line for $230, but after switching to the Even More Plus with unlimited everything the cost dropped to $150 a month! But then she told me that while it is contract free, I would still need to finish out my initial 2 year commitment, meaning that an Early Termination Fee would still apply. Is that what they told you when you switched also? I'll take the $$ savings each month by switching, but it would be nice not to have an ETF too.
By now most of you probably assume that I'm a T-mobile employee trying to drive up sales given threads like this - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33447 - but for what it's worth, I promise I'm not.
Anyways, reading the above post, you'll see that I got a subsidized phone in exchange for signing a 2 year contract (which I sold for $430). At the time, I got the Individual 300 plan + data ($29.99+$25) and later I decided to increase that to the 600 plan so that until I get my N900, I still have free nights ($39.99+$25).
I called today wanting to switch to the Even More 500 plan (which I thought was $29.99 - who doesn't want to save $10/mo?). Turns out it's actually $39.99/mo too, and only the Even More Plus (contract free) is $29.99. "oh, bummer" I said.
"We can switch you to the Even More Plus plan, there's just a one time conversion fee of $35."
I was pretty happy! Not only that, but the data plan that I currently have is also switched out, so I no longer have any contract with T-mobile, just month to month. To make things even better, I told that that I'm currently just using an old motorola clamshell, and could I just get the $10/mo data plan in the mean time (this is true - Thanks for the delay N900!). Again, they said sure!
So contrary to my past derision of Project Black here - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...772#post354772 - It's actually saving me $25/mo, and saved me $165 off my early termination fee, in case I decide to leave. The fine print (there's always fine print) is that I "can never switch back and get a subsidized phone". So if you need to get out of a T-mobile contract or want to roll the dice on saving money on a data plan, you might try switching over.
As always, do what's best for you.
