Microsoft was stupid enough to choose the provider with the worse prepaid plans. Phuck, they have the worst plans period. Especially for a product of this nature.

I said previously, if they really wanted this to succeed they should have put it on Virgin Mobile with a big ad campaign with the likes of MTV or something. You have the target the right demographic and this what they failed to do. The Sidekick became a big hit cause it worked on prepaid and T-Mo had Flexpay aka no contract plans with it as well. Verizon has none of the kind.

You don't care cause you have no idea what you are talking about. None. Zero. Zip. Village Idiot.

How exactly do you put a device that is constantly updating info to the studio on a pre-paid plan? Like any carrier is going to let you upload 8 gigs of data per month for $50 a month..lol.
