While they don't seem to be as cheap as originally anticipated, they don't seem all that bad. Hopefully it's a kick in the but to other providers to start getting some price wars going.

Right now I get 1000 minutes on 2 phones with 400 texts each for that same price. No deal.

How does this compare to their prepaid (pay-as-you-go) plans?

Our family does not use any data services, just voice, and we only use 250-350 minutes per month total for 2 lines. We're currently getting 1150 minutes, 365 day expiration, for a flat $100. We end up spending $300 total for a year. The cheapest post-paid plan seems to be $30 per line per month, or $720/year, plus taxes/fees/etc.

Was thinking about getting a droid but I would be paying 100 a month. Tmoblie would be 60. Got take another look a the cliq.

Yeah on Tmo I'm paying $80 a month for unlimited text/voice/data (edge though) and I'm actually fine with that.

I've had the Cliq for a couple of weeks now and really really like the phone--my previous phone was the G1 and i think the Cliq blows it away

These prices are great but I believe they are incorrect. The family plan with unlimited everything is $139.99 per month minus my corporate discount 20% = 111.92 vs. paying $199.99 per month with AT&T. I am moving from AT&T to Tmobile and will save $88.07 per month. Just need to unlock my iPhone and I'm there. I don't really care about the 3G speed due to using wi-fi 99% of the time.

Wait it out a little longer and the Motorola Sholes AKA the Droid is supposed to be coming to TMobile early next year.

While staring at these the other day, the only issues are that for a new activation the even more plus plans don't give you the discount on phones, so if you're shopping for a new phone it will suck to eat up $300 for a phone. Switching plans after an existing contract is up costs $35 per line.
