if you can be lucky enough to do so, you're better off doing what i did: find someone cool who's selling an android phone, cheap. . get em to unlock it through their carrier if possible. oh yeah get a databan or whatever the total opposite of a dataplan, that way you can't use 3g on accident and run up your bill. you root it, via a guide like theunlockr.com, find a nice version of android for it, namely CyanogenMod because his roms never screwed up my phone. if you're lucky enough to get a device with a keyboard then awesome because i would pay sooo much for my samsung impression to have good stuff inside like wifi, good ram/cpu. or to have the good things from my impression stuck on my android phone (impression keyboard, AMOLED screen) i really like being able to write with anything on my impression's screen, and the colors i really like the picture.. and having a keyboard, but some things are just more important to me, namely WIFI, and the Android Market. the one thing i do not miss about the impression is the dead zones on the touchscreen. the other kind of screen is more sensitive, but it's made for fingers. not dry fingers either. they have to conduct electricity.. so you can't use the screen with your fingernail, a pen, toothpick, or any other random object so that was awesome about the impression. but i have more MHZ and apps are so much easier to come by, no need to use TKFE anymore. so if u find an awesome deal, which a few months ago i thought was a mytouch3g for $120, i bought it. i like it, but it's kind of underpowered, although still 3x faster than impression, plus WIFI, but no physical keyboard. but now, same person, who tired of their phone again, is selling me a much more awesome phone, with a crappy OS but Android has finally come to it, no more windows mobile. HTC HD2. and since i'm running android 2.2 on a crappy ol' mytouch3g, i know i am going to enjoy running it on a phone with 1ghz cpu. these are tmobile phones, so u need unlocking to get them on ATT. mentioning them to att would be a bad idea. adding the data restriction to your line i'm pretty sure prevents them from seeing that you are using a smartphone and therefore saves you money. i mean, i've been using it for months, with my sim card in it, my sim can't send/receive data, but that doesn't mean i can't use wifi, which i provide myself with my internet and my router so there is no reason for them to bill me for it, unless they want to lose a longtime customer that gives them way too much money as it is for the 5 minutes a month said customer actually talks on the phone lol
