It's not what I wanted to hear at all, but in a way it makes sense. I am still going to try yate and see what that is like...but if its no good, then I will prolly just go with some minutes. The thing that I had wanted to achieve though, was being able to have free calling, AND a data plan. I had gotten so used to being able to google search whenever I wanted, that now i'm not sure if i can do without it.

On a side note though, the mobile broadband i was talking about with tmobile, is supposedly a 4g network. I know the n900 isnt 4g...but supposing it was, would call quality be much better, do you think?
