hey john, when did you upgrade your phone?

I have been with T-Mo for a little over 3 years now and I am still using the DASH I got then. My current plan has 1500 anytime min for $40, unlimited Internet for $20, and 300 texts for $5 a month. In order to get this phone at ANY (more on this in a moment) discount I have to downgrade my plant to 500 min for the same $40 and downgrade to unlimited web and texts for $40…or $15 a month more for 1000 minutes less. On top of that my penalty…err ahh…reward for being a good, paying, 3+ year T-Mobile customer (with 2 lines) is that I actually have to pay $379 for the phone since I already have a voice and data plan on my account. (If I only had a voice plan I would have to $279… still a $100 penalty). The information on the real pricing is here: http://www.google.com/support/android/bin/answer.py?hl=e...

This is BS. It's Google's fault, not T-Mobile. It's just Google being greedy and having people order through them instead of T-Mobile and dictating the plans they can use them on. I'm sure something better will come along soon. It's probably more hype than anything…

yes, its google's fault .. even if you cancel the contract, you pay the fee, 200 bucks, not to tmobile, you pay to google. hope t-mobile gives more options (plans) to get the nexus one
