unlimited 49.99
$85 will get you unlimited mins, sms, and data. Pretty good deal if you ask me.
That would bring a grand total of 105 a month at T-Mobile in comparison to 100 at Sprint.
However...
There is a key difference in the fact that 99% of consumers could not care less about mobile TV, and perhaps 90% do not have any interest in GPS navigation, and even if they did, would probably go for BlackBerry Maps or Google Maps for free. In which case these people could get away for $85 a month.
The Sprint plan gives you no option to remove those features, so in my opinion I think the T-mobile way is probably a better choice for most consumers.

Look at this from the other perspective, because so many people have garmin and tom-tom already then they do not care about having gps on the cell phone.
Exactly. If you have ever used Garmin, or Tom Tom especially, you will see that Telenav is a little sub par in comparison. It's still a neat service for street directions, but if you want to take it out hiking and help find your way, your pretty much screwed since it needs a signal, whereas garmin and tom tom do not.
Find some real market information about GPS on cell phones, I'm sure its out there.

I have Telenav on my phone, and it is pretty much useless. It is slow and has problems aquiring satellites/towers. I tried it on the free trial program, and I won't be buying it. If I need a GPS I will use my Magellan Roadmate. It is already paid for and I don't have monthly charges to use it. And it actually works.
I don't have a monthly charge for it, and my gps works amazing on my touch pro so im sorry you have crappy 3g coverage for your telenav to run poorly.
trolling around in the t-mobile forums isn't going to stop your company's complete bleed out.

this kay guy is nothing but a sprint troll, get over yourself and understand people dont want to waste all their money on tv and gps on a cell phone.

Get over yourself, didn't know that you were only allowed to post on this forums if you have t-mobile. 🙄
And yes there are people who actually use gps and watch tv on there phones, just ask someone who travels across the US. Ohhh wait you cant ask anyone with t-mobile because you have 3g in like 20 cities.
P.S. i own 2 phones touch pro on sprint and a venus on verizon. So sprint fanboy branding is not correct.

Doesn't matter fan boy or not. Obviously your phone is lacking in one way or another if you need 2 different phones with 2 different provider. Either that or you're a moron. You can pick. Most people, I'd say 90%+ ( my guess) don't use GPS or TV on their phone. Regardless if you are traveling or not. Most people use their phone to make calls/send text messages. Some people use the Internet or email/business. A VERY VERY small percentage use anything else. Look around do your research. You'll see that you are in the minority on this one. And yet for some reason you are posting this sprint garbage in a tmo forum. Why aren't you over with the rest of the Zack Morris tools in the sprint forum trolling there?

I'd say about 80% of the people want "just a phone". That percentage is slowly going down and people are finally starting to realize the potential of having more features. Problem is they don't want to pay for them. Why do you think when we get phones over here they are usually a down grade to their European counter parts.
That's a more logical number and common sense.
