They're very very generous with the phone offers. I've been with them for quite a while and they took $250 off my last phone.

I use the camera rarely, only if there's something extremely stupid I need to capture.

Texts = maybe 2 a day.

Mobile webpages = never. I've done it on my iPod touch, but never from a phone.

$250 is from every company so nothing special there. tmobile/voicestream is probably one of the cheapest company ever.

Actually no it isn't unless you pay for the Blackberry package service

I just recently turned my BB service off and am on straight T-mobile and still get great service. Gonna leave it this way until I start doing a lot of travelling again...not really a point to pay the extra right now.

I guess you don't have much intention of signing up for an unlimited data plan.

In that case and since you want to stay away from Samsung for whatever reason, a brief look at the available phones seems like the Nokia 6133 or 6263 would be fine for you. Only difference I can see is the 6263 has music player control buttons underneath the external LCD.

I guess the Motorola phones are alright as well but the Nokias have much nicer screens hence my preference.

Also check out letstalk.com they may have some better phone deals than direct from T-Mobile.

I got the z3 rizr with tmo and it works pretty well. My only complaint is that the buttons are hard to work with if you have big fingers. I got it from that one phone store in chicago, 2xxx W. Devon (I cant remember the name of the place) for $130 without a contract.
