T-Mobile's New Plans Replace Phone Subsidy With "Equipment Installment Plan"

I'm debating dumping my current grandfathered deal. Currently have Familytime 1000 for $50 with Free Unlimited MyFaves for both lines, Family Messaging for $10 & T-Zones on both lines for $6 each. Grand total of my plan is $72 per month with AAA corp discount. This new plan would cost me $100 for two lines or $28 a month more but I like the idea of unlimited everything & am tired of the phone limitations of T-Zones. Confirmed with TMO Rep that the web of this plan will work with ANY GSM Phone (Windows, Blackberry, Android, Symbian, anything). May be better positioned with a plan like this for the coming ATT merger than with my "preferred" (free) features like myfaves that could be stripped at any time or with ancient web service like T-Zone...
