Traceur - you may be correct. I will find out soon. I've been using this new plan for 8 hours and I have consumed 100 of my 500 megs. I will update again when I exceed 500.

But there was no risk to giving it a try so I figured why not. Previously I was using wifi-only with an unlimited 4G hotspot. But I didn't have nation-wide coverage.

T-Mobiles announcement is in 2 hours.

actually, I had a T-Mobile sonic 4G (non-LTE) hotspot and the speeds on that exceeded anything i've seen on the n900 itself.... so i'm not sure the n900 can get the max speeds t-mobile is capable of even on 3.5+.... but i'm no expert
