Thats all fine and dandy but in the American system this is a good deal and you can't argue that. But if you compare the American system to the European system even this would seem like a rip off because the cellular pricing in Europe is so good that even T-Mobile's $20 off per month for non-contract phone doesn't sound like all that good of a deal.
But since we aren't talking about Europe...you still have to give google/t-mobile for giving a pretty good deal that will hopefully be countered by other cell phone companies. Now if only I wasn't half-way through a contract with ATT and I could get a decent Android phone instead of having to settle for a windows mobile phone with ATT. But then again I'm on a family plan so I'm kind of stuck with ATT since the rest of my family travels abroad frequently.
And having an unlocked T-Mobile phone is meaningless...because T-Mobile phones can only use T-Mobile's 3G...although that still means you can travel abroad and use voice/SMS (I think).
