| |  Project Dark prices leaked....thoughts??
In case you haven't seen...Project Dark prices have leaked! Leaked: T-Mobile’s “Project Dark” Unlimited plan pricing
What are your thoughts on this?
I don't know about you, but I'm really bummed. It doesn't sound very game changing for many...99 for everything? That's the SAME as Sprint! C'mon T-Mobile...
I DO think it's interesting how unlimited on no-contract costs less (80) than when you're on contract (100). It's nice that you can buy full retail in installments and use how you want...
Gosh, really disappointing though. I don't see these prices as groundbreaking at all.
I think I'll keep my 49.99 Loyalty and 34.99 BB/text...

Yeah, for those with Loyalty....it's kind of silly. If you have Loyalty and 34.99...you'll save a grand total of $5 going to no-contract plan...but NO handset subsidies so it pretty much evens out in the end.
No way I'd shelling out retail (like 500) for a high-end phone just to save 5 bucks a month...
May work for some people but not for me. Hm.
Gosh, just disappointed.

I hope it is better than this. If not im keeping my 59.99 family plan+ 4.99 per line text, adding two data plans and coming out cheaper. Unless - They allow current customers to get new phones if they switch plans. Then I might have to do it.

From what I've read, you will have to pay some sort of fee (hefty fee) if you're still in contract and you switch over to the no contract plans. If you're still in contract and switch plans to one of the new contract ones...I don't see you getting a new phone. I mean, you are still under contract...
There is always the *very* small chance that the prices are better than this but I am not optimistic. These are definitely T-Mobile brochures (see the design, colors) and look really legit to me.

This. Is. Bull.
I'm so upset right now. Maybe it's just me but if this is true, didn't prices just go up for a lot of us? I thought pricing was going to at least be comparable to Sprint's "Any Mobile, Anytime" plan (if you don't call land lines like me, that plan is great). Unless T-Mobile's about to say "gotcha!" and acquire Sprint, they can leave this in the dark...

Thats what I was afraid off. SIGH! I'll still see what they have to say on Sunday, but it looks like the hype dosent match the outcome.

Yeah I thought T-Mobile would have unlimited plans to match Sprint's "Any Mobile, Any time". That's...what, 69.99 a month?
It woudl have been cool if T-Mobile could have offered unlimited everything for between 59.99-69.99. But 99? Give me a break.

I just hope this is not the correct pricing because they knew someone was going to leak it...but that's doubtful.

Project Dark should have stayed in the dark.
Im not impressed. TMO has, unfortunately fallen way side in comparison to VZE, ATT & Sprint- even sprint who many considered dead along time ago currently offers the fastest network available now (verified by 3rd & 4th parties)
Im a TMO client and for a long time I defended TMO, but its impossible to defend no 3G (definitely no LTE plans), lack of exclusive phones and once their strength- their crappy customer service.
My contract expires in Dec 2009 and I am looking forward to moving on to a better network.

I am dissappointed too.
This plan isn't better than what I have now (for what I need).
My wife and I are on 1000 shared minutes with MyFaves for $60/month with 10% corporate discount. This is essentially unlimited talk time for us as we usually call the same few numbers.
I also pay $25 for blackberry BIS data and get 400 SMS texts for free. Both my wife and I may do about 6 texts a month.
With the speculations earlier this week, I was hoping it would be about $90-100 for unlimited phone/text/data on a 2-line family plan. I would have been excited to get a smartphone for my wife and pay little more than now.
We are off contract. Maybe before Sunday we should re-up for 2 years, get new phones, and keep our existing plan plus add $25 for data for her.
That plan would be $60 + $25 + $25 ($110) for effectively unlimited minutes for us, effectively unlimited texts for us, and unlimited data.
How are the new plans better for my family?
I guess the new unlimited plans would be great if your family uses tons of minutes and text messages.
Otherwise, this is a big fail.

@Distraktion
I love the optimism.
If that's the real plan, maybe they'll have a special discount rate this weekend that is 25% cheaper. (Doubt it too.)
