One of the things I have to credit AT&T for is that they're not afraid to offer value-added services such as data to both their postpaid and prepaid customers. Unlimited MediaNet is available to all prepaid customers for $20 per month with no contract and no obligation to use your prepaid balance on voice minutes. I don't know why the other US carriers are so afraid to offer identical services to prepaid customers that they offer to postpaid customers except the fact that they all want you sign over your life for a 2 year contract. AT&T is still the only carrier that you can use a smartphone on prepaid and get unlimited data for only $20 per month. I have been doing this for over a year with an unlocked Treo 650 and have saved a bundle of cash since I don't use very many voice minutes each month. The other carriers need to get with the program when it comes to the prepaid market.
@UnnDunn That is not true. You will have 3G on prepaid as well, the only thing is you have to have 3G handset. My friend is enjoying 3G on his prepaid LG phone which is US 3G.
“The Pixi -- a sleek, tiny device -- seems clearly aimed at the only market Palm has recently enjoyed unfettered success with: the Centro demographic.”

The only thing is at&t doesn't offer 3G service on prepaid, which kinda blows.
