tmobile ?

[possmann]

Any one have any idea if t-mobile is going to offer this phone anytime in the future?

No idea...I heard they are offering the e200...but that could change.
You can get the Motorola...unlock it...and use it just fine with T-Mobile.

[possmann]

that is probably what I will end up doing. l was hoping to see if anyone here had any "insider" information...

Do you have any idea when they will be offering the E200? I've been waiting, shall we say, a while to be able to buy a Smartphone in the US and really want either the E200 or the MPX200, and I'm guessing that from T-Mobile it would be considerably cheaper than buying from Tek-n-toys. Speaking of, is there any other place that is currently selling either model for a more reasonable price?

depends on what you call reasonable.
The MPx200 isnt that expensive and you can get it unlocked to run on TMobile.

Well, they're selling it for $558. That's about $40 less than I paid for my T-mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition. To me, that's too much. Are you saying buy an AT&T locked one and unlock it? The only problem with that is by the time I pay the extra fees for not getting it activated (and the fact that all of the rebates involve getting AT&T service) it comes out to almost $500 anyway.

The a gently used SPV or e100 from ebay may be your best bet.

Amazon will sell it to you for $400 (with no contract/rebate/etc).
It's $20 to get it unlocked.
You're still more than $100 away from $558. :D

Hmm...I guess you're right. Is there any danger in getting it unlocked?

Only that you might drive yourself crazy waiting for the unlock code to be emailed back to you. ;)

I unlocked 2 MPx200's <and ended up sending them both back because I couldn't get a T-Mo signal where I live> without any incident.

Your phone will still have some AT&T icons on it, but if you search around, you can find ways to get rid of 'em.

Do you do unlocking? Sorry to be like this, I've bought a lot of unlocked phones but have never actually done it (or had it done) before, so I'm not exactly sure what's involved.
