every day, i check 'mazon to see if they've changed the price or rebate forms for the Sidekick II. It's a steal, if you intend to use it as a cell phone, which I don't... at least until I've tested it.

And granted, it's a steal at $75 if I can only use the $50 TMob rebate. But it's even better if I could use the damn 'mazon rebate (which they changed in late Feb/early March to include the $40 service plan as a stipulation.)

They dont even let you pick the data-only plan on the 'mazon website. They say "oh, you can choose any plan you want" -- which is bs. I'm trying to figure out how.

I want this phone. I want to give it a try. If it's good, I want to use it as a phone, and if not, I'd rather just use it for data. I just dont want to pay the $300 they're asking if you dont sign up for a plan.

Perhaps I'll call TMobile and ask "If I buy a phone at a retail store that will only let me sign up for x plan, but I dont want x plan, how can I change that plan before I get billed?"
