Boy Genius Report has a tipster who says that Project Black is new phones (including the N900) plus a $50/month unlimited data+voice plan. Now that's something I can get excited about: a T-Mob plan that's priced in line with the quality of their network.

Interesting, that's surprising considering current voice+data plan for TMobile is at least $55 for unlimited data + 300 min no Fav 5). So are they planning on not subsidizng it for that price?

I doubt it... I also doubt they will subsidize the phone. As the good Doctor was 'splain'n today at the Maemo Summit (or at least my interpretation of his remarks), Open Source is all about services.
Nokia did their part in providing the hardware that can only run at full tilt on T-Mo's network in North America. It sounds like T-Mo is doing their part in providing an all you can eat plan on that network for $50 a month.
Get the plan and get the best possible phone. Consume the hell out of the services.
Can a 3G iPhone use this plan?
I don't thin' so...
How much does it cost for a 3G iPhone data plan?
Now subtract $50 and multiply the difference by 24 (two year AT&T contract)...
My employer provides my service on a completely different network so the N900 was not for me...
However, If this $50 plan from T-Mo turns out to be true... My wife will jump ship from her provider and we will have a N900 in the house, woot woot.
Can you smell what Nokia's got cooking for the North American Market?

Thought it may be something along this line. Was thinking about switching family over to Page Plus and keeping a line for me with Tmobile for the N900, but with this will stay with Tmobile.

Hmm so then I wonder if it's possible to just buy the n900 from any other place and then get this TMobile 'n900' plan if so?

If T-Mobile doesn't subsidize it, and indeed the N900 is part of this 'Project Black' which is suppose to take place either this Sunday or next, then I will definitely be their this coming Sunday to buy my phone from them ( as long as the price is like Nokia's, which I doubt it will be but one can only hope )
