ah I should have been clearer...I am on sprint but would move to tmobile (after breaking it to my wife that I snuck the phone behind her back) after she is back from europe in 5 weeks. I see I put sprint data in the title, oops should be tmobile let me fix that... If I told her my plans now, she might not come back... so I would use my "dumb" lg phone which only has voice, while learning linux on the n900 should I buy it, for the next few weeks, then switch...
