[Q] Buy or wait?

This guy know is selling his T-Mobile SGT for $425, it would come with a leather case and screen protectors. I checked it out and it's in very good condition (ESN is good).
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to go ahead and buy it from him or wait until April 1st to buy a brand new wifi model?
I don't plan on setting the tab up with 3G, just going to use it with wifi and phone tether.
Any advice? Thanks!

You can get it at tmobile for 249

Yeah, but you are committed to a 2-year data plan.
If you do the math, that is a lot of money for 2 years.

Went ahead and just bought it. :X
Decided I couldn't wait that long for one lol. Plus I figured that since it came with a case and screen protector, I was getting a decent deal.
Finally, I can consider myself a proud tablet owner.

Well mine is cheaper I gave up my fone and use my tab.....and transferred my data plan which is 29.99 unlimited...only thing im signed in for 2 years but my data plan is cheap....and I use the 3g service allot

If I am not mistaken, do you have AT&T tab?
Because if you have the T-mobile tab, then you can only have calling ability (like a phone) but only get 2G data instead of 3G. Am I correct?

Yeah I have tmobile ...i use sip droid and google voice combined for calls....hopefully wit the update to 2.3..we all can enjoy the enabled voip calling which will be nice

Cheapest Data Plan?

I know that a data plan is required to use a smart phone with Verizon. Can someone tell me if I can use the $10/75MB plan if I went out and bought the xperia Play? The reason being, I am only 16 and really don't need an expensive data plan. I would just turn off the mobile connect and use WiFi for my Internet needs. So is the 10$ plan an option? If not, what's the cheapest plan I can get? I am an emulator junkie and I would love to only carry one device with me. Yet I don't have a job so a $30 dollar plan is a no-no

Looks like it will be $30 for 2 GB's. At least according to Cnet. That's the minimum for smart phones.

I don't think there is, but I could be wrong. I don't know that much about Verizon.

Won't happen though there used to be a promotional data plan of 15$ for 150mb gotta find someone who could either do it or find someone on that plan and pay them to. Take it.

Mytouch 4G prepaid?

Can I use it on tmobile monthly 4G
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk

I'm pretty sure you can.
The T Mobile Network is the T Mobile Network. It's not like they have a separate network for pre paid plans.
For definitive answers just call T mobile customer service. They will give you the answer real quickly.

Yes you can i am currently on that plan

EVO - Lack of 4G Coverage / Switching to Verizon & Unlimited data!

Ok so I had an Evo I was excited with the 4G I liked it for a while, but then after a 1 1/2 years the thing started to flake out. Well with my phone flaking out, and very limited 4G coverage I made the switch to Verizon. With one problem, what about unlimited data? I had to have unlimited data. So this is how I got unlimited data! Which wasn't being offered anymore.
Well thanks to XDA I found a super sweet hook up. This guy named VIP Nick got me Unlimited Data on my Verizon account for $30 a month, even though it's not offered anymore! He's one of very few in the country that can hookup accounts with unlimited data. Because he mainly works with Business accounts, and VIP accounts. Though he'll work with individual and family plan accounts too. Which I like because Verizon has a lot better 4G Coverage!
So I thought I'd spread the word to the XDA community if your looking to make the switch and want a new phone and get Unlimited Data email him at
Verizon.Unlimited.data @ g m a i l . c o m
subject - Unlimited Data XDA
I am Very Happy Now!
ThankYOU XDA! I love this site.

That wont last long. As soon as someone higher up the food chain findsout...you are done.

Yes it said unlimited data but eventually you get to the data caps and slow your speed.

Beware unintended consequences...

I told My Coworker about this, as he recently switched to VZW when amazon was giving phones away for a penny, He got a phone call like 10 minutes after sending him an Email and will have unlimited data on his and his wifes phone in the next day or two.

No this guy is legit. His company has an exclusive contract with Verizon. I've talked with Verizon's business department and confirmed it. Everything is good with this hook up! He's hooked up several of my friends too, very professional!

P.S Verizon doesn't throttle speeds it's rumor... Very rarely only in extremely high trafficked area's like the super bowl etc.. I've used 60 gig this past month ran a bit torrent non stop and no throttling, sure a few fluctuations but still very fast.

I cannot beleive this without proof or evidence. Your just trying to lure people in to make commusion.

Oops..
That wasn't my plan.. Just wanted users to know of this great offer.. Data plans suck big time in the UK.
I'll contact the Mods and ask them to verify and remove if it's the case..
Thanks Chris..

Weird, I have a great plan (contract) in the uk. Its no longer available so that's a good thing for me. Unlimited texts and data, 600 mins and the mimmi was free t-mobile uk. As I said, this was november 2010, no longer available

I can't speak highly enough of giffgaff.. It's just fantastic compared to anything else..
I sound like I work for them but I assure you all that is not the case, I'm just a very happy client..
Thought this would appeal to users who live in the uk on pay-as-you-go..

Can't say its a much used network round here, I live in a nowhere village and the only carrier with decent signal is T-Mobile/Orange and in town you get no signal with that and great with ones like virgin (even in the apparent dead zone of one of our school buildings for everything else)
