Can you elaborate on "off-contract"? It sounds like even without the subsidy you still have to commit to a two-year contract.
In the past T-Mobile has also offered customers the ability to have a monthly plan that didn't require a contract. I'm hoping that they keep that around.
> T-Mobile will have to explain to customers that they will actually save money over the length of a two-year contract by paying a lower value plan rate.
So it sounds like they're still locking you in to a contract at the start. Yes, once the contract is over then you're off-contract, but if I'm not on Tmo already that doesn't really help.
(I have T-Mobile, Nexus S, $70/mo for voice/sms/5GB data)
