T-Mobile officially unveils $99 Even More, $79 Even More Plus plans and equipment installment option {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 2:29AM @Eli: this is cuz u r handset is subsidized by the carrier and that your cost per month includes the charges for the handset as well. With this new plan TMobile is giving the users an option to buy their own handsets and choose the cheaper plans or get the handset from them and pay the regular monthly price.
In comparison other carriers hide the cost of the handset by not providing the cheaper no contract option

Ask Engadget: Best current smartphone for under $200? {Engadget}
Jan 3rd 2009 7:21PM I agree, E 71 is a good option and with the recent Best Buy Promo you can get it @ $ 199 with a T-Mobile contract. Has email, wi-fi, 3G (read on for details), nice stable OS and a full qwerty kbd. Nice form factor and light weight as well. But no touch screen (not a big issue). Just a note though, the 3G bands are designed for ATT's network. Nokia also makes them with the regular world 3G band of 2100 but don't think they are sold here at Best Buys, also T-Mobile's 3G band is special and the regular E71 supporting 2100 wont work on it either. Thus you would be stuck with EDGE. But if you don't care about data, then you should be fine. Overall its a great phone

Samsung BlackJack II tops Consumer Reports' list of best smartphones {Engadget Mobile}
Dec 18th 2008 10:46AM Do they cover devices just within the US ? if yes then only those handsets pushed by carriers would succeed in making the list ! As you mentioned the $80 price tag makes it real attractive over something like the Iphone or even the Palm Treo with a $500+ tag attached to it.
