If you are buying this phone, why would you go on contract with T-Mobile (Even More plan)?

The EM+ plan with 500 minutes only costs $30/month. Thus you can save another $240 over 24-month period.

T-Mobile EM+ plan over 2 years: Nokia N900 ($510) + voice plan/unlimited text ($40*24 for 500 minutes) + data ($10 or $25 x24) = $510 + $960 + $240/$600 = $1710/$2070

AT&T iPhone plan over 2 years: iPhone 3Gs 32GB ($300) + voice plan ($40*24) + unlimited text ($20*24) + data ($30*24) = $300 + $960 + $480 + $720 = $2460

That is a saving of $750 (best case scenario) or $390 over a 24-month period + no contract.
If the rumor iTablet is using the iPhone OS, Flash is out.
What the hell are you talking about here? You are quoting the EM+ 750 minutes/unlimited text/web family plan not individual.

The highest individual EM plan (with contract and subsidy) is $100/month ($60 unlimited minutes + $40 unlimited message/web for smartphone). If you are using a dumb phone, it costs $10 less per month. The highest individual EM+ plan (no contract and subsidy) is $80/month (unlimited minutes/message/web).
That's true. The iPhones might be cheap on contract but I would have to pay a lot more on AT&T comparing to T-Mobile. I am only paying $125 after discount/taxes/fees for 5 lines with 700 anytime minutes/unlimited M2M/NW ($59.99 + 3x$9.99), myFaves (free), unlimited messages ($10), and data on two lines (2x $9.99). There is no way I could get the same thing from AT&T.
@ EminiSP

It does have T-Mobile 3G. You can buy this phone unlocked and sign up for T-Mobile EM+ plans (no contract, no subsidy, and cheaper).
Once Amazon gets it out of pre-order mode, I am going to get one ($559.99 - $50 MIR).
EDGE is definitely not 3G. It's 2.75G only (220 kbps max). Evolved EDGE could have potential speed of up to 1 Mbps. However there are no commercial networks or phones that support Evolved EDGE.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
