The next afternoon I got another OTA message with different information (that somehow seems to have locked out my built-in ringtones), but the phone left the original access points in, so I'm still using the T-Mobile Internet AP, which also works fine when tethering my laptop and N-810. The T-zones access point doesn't seem to work at all.
I did. The T-Mobile rep told me that they are having a few problem with the system recognizing the new unlimited web plan. So the rep had to call in and have another T-mobile guy manually add the smartphone Web on the account to trick the system I just do not get charged for it. I verified this at another T-mobile store that they were having the same problem and that I would not be charged for the addition on the account.
We'll see when the bill comes, but even with the higher cost Internet I'm saving over my old carrier, and I seem to get better data speed even on edge.

For some reason, the T-mobileWeb did not work with my Ovi Maps...but after I switch it back to my old t-zone, I got the map rocking again... this is sweet. And now, here is the samary of my account:
-1000 Anytime minutes : $39.99
-T-MobileWeb ( which has the same access point at my old T-zone so practically it is the same t-zone (grandpa version of course): $5.95
-500 Text Messaging : $2.95 ( This is the best part. My old plan had me for 400 Texts for 4.95; but now, I have and additional 100 test plus a 2 dollars reduction... Is T-mobile too good to be true or what?)

What I really like is this for the "Even More Plus 500 Talk + Text + Web":
"Free domestic long distance and no digital roaming charges across the US"
which I read to mean when outside the not-so-great tmobile coverage area ATT voice + edge is available for free. Great!

I've had T-zones for a while now (used it on an iPhone), but i'll be using it on my n900 whenever it arrives. Are we sure that T-zones plans support 3g via the better epc.tmobile.com APN? Even if I only get edge for now I'll be happy (5.95 is tough to beat nowadays), but 3g would be AWESOME. (yes, I'm in a city with 3g coverage now)

I think the lowest to get 3G is the $20 plan and I will change to this when I get the N900. Currently use the $25 plan since have G1.
$60 savings a year is better than none

but that depends on how close you are to the sites. best to be conservative!
but since they released the 3g network in the last 18 months, the speed even on 2.75g was increased!
