Too bad it the Straighttalk plan is on the Verizon network so the N900 can not be used.

It would appear given the way that Egadget wrote it, only a few phones will even work with these plans. And yes it's only "mobile web" not 3G, not even full internet.

Of course, the price of using an antediluvian LG 220, LG Slider 290 or Samsung 451 can't be measured in mere dollars, but hey, humiliation's only temporary -- right?

so this unlimited plan stuff might be true
As for the actual factual info. This all means little, everything we had before is still speculation, though it does prove there is a new plan or plans comming out for T-mo that will be "The Most Affordable Unlimited Rate Plans" presumably on the US market. Which would likely mean 60 or lower.
This certainly gives hope and by the sound of "The Handset You Crave" there may very well be subsidizing, though still no mention of the N900.

I'm trying not to let excitement get the best of me, but dammit, it's sounding more and more like the N900 will come from T-mobile with a killer plan.

I really wonder (if they do this) how they are going make a profit if they subsidize the n900 AND do a cheaper rate..
And it's also annoying me because now I kinda wanna wait till I get more news from them before deciding whether to buy it from Amazon and then buy their plan. Or to just get it from them.
Though I wonder.. do you have to pay tax when you buy a mobile in store?
