If you have unlimited messaging and have the data plan with messaging you're on the wrong data plan. There are 3 data options for those on family plans. Two 24.99 options, one with and one without the 400 messaging along with a 34.99 option for unlimited data. If you have the family unlimited messaging you need the 24.99 without messaging to avoid a conflict between the messaging and data options. I think its unfair to charge the same price for the data package if you don't need the 400 messages but there it is. Even without 3G the G1 is a good phone and a good upgrade from the sidekick. The G1 is a smartphone and has a lot of apps available, unlike the SK.
If you order the phone you should have it within 10 days, plenty of time for xmas.

When I went to upgrade I was surprised to see an addtional $18 charge plus tax and now the phone is over $210 and I'm not even sure I will get it in time for Christmas. Now I'm having second thoughs as I will have to extend my contract for 2 years. I'm also confused on that 400 message limitation as we are on the unlimited family plan. So I would like to know if anyone has a recommendation for a similiar type unlocked phone that a teen would really like that would use Edge. He now has the Sidekick ID but is it so slow. Thanks!
