Go with the Even More Plus plan if you go on T-mobile. The regular ever more plan stinks.
Even more plus is only $59.99 a month for 500 minutes, ulimited texts, and 3G(Even for smartphones)
Now the disadvantage is that you get no phone discounts, but at the same time you don't have a 2 year contract either.

Unlimited talk

Unlimited 3G web
Unlimited GPS
Unlimited Tethering ability
Unlimited use of Sprint Navigation, Sprint NFL, Nascar, etc.
No Contracts
I can choose one of their phones (Boost) or move a Sprint-branded phone in. Caveat is that they won't allow the most recent phones (i.e. Hero, Palm Pre) but there are tons of smartphones to choose from. I use my HTC Diamond with it, others are using HTC Touch Pro II, various Blackberries like the Curve, Tour, Samsung Intrepid, etc. Yes, I have to look for deals on phones on ebay or Craigslist, and a TP 2 costs about $250, but having no contracts and getting all the services on the Sprint 3G network for under $50 per month make it a worthwhile investment (I paid under $100 for my HTC Diamond.)
I guess some are ok with paying double or triple per month for the same or lesser services (T-Mobile was my previous provider, they stink) just to get a latest-model phone, but I can wait an extra year to go from my Diamond or Touch Pro 2 to the Hero or any other device Sprint comes out with (if I feel I need it.)

Can you explain to me how this works? I mean, I went to the website after binging Boost and I'm just a bit skeptical how it can have all the coverage of Sprint with half the prices and no contract???
