Changing my t-mobile plan right now but don't know which one to get...there is the 5.99 tmobile web, the 9.99 tzones pro, and the 19.99 HotSpot. Which one should I sign up for? I am interested in using the web on my phone alone as well as using it with my mac to connect to the net as described in the post. Thanks! [You'll have to sign up for their regular unlimited internet, or their blackberry internet plan. Good luck with the research. --Kristofer] thanks for the post! just bought an unlocked 680.
