Not only am I getting a fantastic phone, but the rebates pay me [$] back on a [$] phone.Regarding the plan, I switched from AT&T;'s lousy performance and abysmal customer service. With ATT, you wait an hour on hold and still don't get a rep. With T-Mobile, I waited under 2 minutes, and the person was extremely nice and helpful.I debated between a few plans. Decided on nationwide service, since I don't want to be zapped with LD and roaming charges when calling outside my local area.There are 3 good nationwide plans at [$]. I could have received 600 anytime minutes, and unlimited nights and weekend. Or 600 anytime, and a 3-day weekend (unlimited all day Friday-Sunday). Since I use my phone mostly during business hours, getting 1,000 anytime minutes and giving up unlimited plans was the best deal. The extra 400 daytime/business minutes are more beneficial than the few quick calls I make after 9pm and on weekends.Amazon, Motorola and T-Mobile really have the deal to beat if you need a great phone and a great calling plan.If you want the absolute latest and greatest, I suggest you wait until the Motorola v600 starts shippping, but be prepared to pay a couple hundred for it, with little or no rebates for a long time.
