Does anyone use a smart phone through TMobile? My contract is up in September, and I was kind of wanting to get an iphone or droid. However, I currently pay for my mom's cell phone, and it would be better to keep things exactly as they are for her (she is not a technophile) and my sister would like to join our plan too. So for simplicity's sake, it would be best if I could stay with TMobile as well. (Plus they are the underdog company, and have been good to me and I want to support them..)
So, I'm thinking of doing the smart phones offered through them.
Does anyone use or have any opinions regarding...
Motorola CLIQ
Samsung Behold
TMobile MyTouch 3G
Re: Smartphones through TMobile?
If you want an Iphone you can get on un-locked for T-Mobile (I had a CS rep tell me once they would walk you threw un-locking it, I don't know how much truth there is to that.) And the only data plan you would need is the $10 a month T-Zone and then any texting plan that would fit you. Just remember they count e-mails as texts.
I have played with the Behold a lot and it just feels cheep to me. I have never met someone who like it.
Out of that list I would get the MyTouch (It's a Droid).
Is there a reason you don't want a BlackBerry? I have the Bold on T-Mobile and LOVE it.
I don't know how much this would help you but here is a review I did of all the phones I have had on T-Mobile.

Lurker jumping in...
I have had the Moto Cliq for 6 months and love it. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I had a BB Pearl prior to this and find this much easier to use and more reliable (BB kept deleting calls and messages without warning). The only complaint that I have is when listening to Pandora on the bus ride to work, the voice dialer occasionally starts when we hit a big bump. In the grand scheme of things though, it is minor to just hit the back button and keep rockin' out.
My husband is a manager at T-Mobile and this is what he said:
"The samsung vibrant is the phone of choice right now. far faster then the mytouch and cliq. If you are looking for a keyboard, there is a g1 blaze that will be out mid september. The blaze will have features much like the vibrant but also a slide out keyboard. "
