BUT
Can't I just get the Even More Plus plan w/ 500 min, unlimited text (no data) for $39.99/month and just add the unlimited web feature for $10/month which comes out to a total of $49.99/month?
Whats supposed to be the difference between the unlimited data plan and the unlimited web addon?
I'm using EM+ 500 min, no text plan, with $10 unlimited web
I'm not the difference between $10 web and $20 data plan, as far as I've heard there is no difference.

I am actually getting ready to pull the trigger on the n900 (two more weeks) and am considering two alternatives:
- Data-only plan for $39.99/mo + SkypeOut + Unlimited Skype minutes
- Even More Plus 500 for $29.99/mo. + $10/mo "unlimited web" plan

Yes, you can do that.

"Talk + Text + Web" plan will probably not work, and you may get prompted to "upgrade", vs. the tried and proven Talk plan w/web2go internet "service" add-on.

I haven't tried SSH directly to phone over 3G, but I think thats not possible as I'm quite sure the IP your 3G connection is assigned isn't a publicly accessible address. Prolly natted behind a firewall.
I am actually getting ready to pull the trigger on the n900 (two more weeks) and am considering two alternatives:The former option is quite a road not taken, and it's real tempting to do it in the name of science. It looks like the $10/mo. plan does the trick, so to say. But, for those of you with this, can you all confirm that there really are no restrictions? Try using IM, getting mail via IMAP, SSH'ing into your server, and even Skype, and report back the results. I, and likely many others looking to make the jump, would highly appreciate it.
- Data-only plan for $39.99/mo + SkypeOut + Unlimited Skype minutes
- Even More Plus 500 for $29.99/mo. + $10/mo "unlimited web" plan

I added the $5.99 unlimited Tzones plan more than half a year ago. It's awesome! Don't think you can get it at that price anymore, it was a secret promo that's probably over..

Is this 3g?
There is no difference between Unlimited Data and Unlimited Web except the APN Name and how they route the traffic. I got my combo plan from the T-Mobile store. If you go to them with a dumb phone in hand then they will do that for you.
