One thing I did discover about tmobile's plans is that they have a rather nice
stunt for data: you can get xx GB/month, which then fails over to a lesser
bandwidth rather than charging you more. I really don't use the data feature a
lot, but it is a life saver when you really need it. And naturally GSM is nice
if you travel.
