Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
So what is the minimum $/month you need to pay?
I believe the way Sprint works it when they have a device listed as being with certain plans they are just saying you must use one of those plans to get the rebate. That being said if you wait a month or two and get on eon Craigslist you can put it on any plan.
The phone Needs an Everything Data//Everything Data Family plan. Even if you buy it full price or on Craigslist.
...which the minimum would be $69/mo for the 450 min unlimited data/text/gps plan or $59/mo if you can get a Sprint employee to sign you up for Everything Plus.
For the average consumer:
---Everything Data---
$69.99 for 450 anytime or $89.99 for 900 anytime AND:
1) Unlimited data: Web surfing, email, BlackBerry Internet Services (BIS), GPS Navigation, Music Premier, TV Premier, NFL Mobile Live, NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile
2) Unlimited messaging: Text, pictures and video
3) Talk: Unlimited mobile to mobile, night calling and weekends starting at 7 p.m., nationwide long distance and no roaming charges
---Simply Everything---
$99 for all the above AND unlimited voice.
Family plans also available. Heck of a deal.
