That's great news if true as I had thought it would only work with the $39.99/month T-Mobile Total Internet plan. Until now, I've only used WiFi with my N800 but if the $5.99 plan works decently, I'll get an appropriate T-Mobile phone (any suggestions as to which ones work?). So... is the connection under the $5.99 plan really fast enough to be usable?
Yes, T-Zones works just fine with the N800. I can't really recommend a phone, but I can tell you that I was using my Nokia 6680 with it.

Is it fast enough? It's basically 56K speed... so, you need a lot of patience. I put up with it for a couple of years, and then I finally got so irritated with how painfully slow it is (e.g., 45 mins to do a freakin price check across Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Circuit City), that I coughed up another $14 a month for the Total Internet plan. It is somewhat faster, but no where near wifi speeds.
