You don't ask it in the message, but the header asks what's the cheapest way to get 3G in the US and doesn't specify T-Mobile or anything else. The answer to that is clear, because I have it. The answer is to buy a Kindle, and the price for using 3G on your Kindle once you've bought one is nothing.

regarding VOIP: I've used skype a number of times, and it works adequately. It is not perfect, not as good as a regular cell phone call (there usually is a little lag.) but is acceptable. Gizmo does not work well over 3g for me. The voice call is not smooth, it is always choppy.

BTW I use an N800 tetherd to an SE TM506 with unlimited data from Tmo for $19.95, and I'm on a 4 line family voice plan with the rest of my family. We share 1000 minutes(we never go over, since tmobile calls are free, and we mostly make those), and pay approximately $130 or $135/mo for the bundle I think...

Some people have reported success using the $10 unlimited data plan for non-smartphone along with a $29.99 300 anytime minute voice plan. This come out to the same price as the $39.99 data only plan, but on the plus side, you have another 300 minutes.
This is perhaps a little dishonest as T-Mobile expects you to be using this plan with a very cheap phone that won't/can't consume that much data. Your ethics are your ethics though.

I just remembered the other day, also, you can request to be setup on a Flexpay no-contract account. It's basically month-to-month, but you pay your bill in advance instead of getting billed.

Something Mi-Fi-ish that undercuts Verizon and Sprint would be nice.
