Details emerge on T-Mobile's Hotspot @Home "Talk Forever" setup

Tito:

Your analysis is much appreciated. But what this tells me is that this plan is complex to the point of being unintelligible to the majority of subscribers.

Suppose I want to keep my Verizon landline (which is independent of my ISP and not VoIP-based). Will these new routers allow for that? I keep a low-budget Verizon account because there is NO internet service ANYWHERE that does not occasionally go down.

How 'bout a "plain" old MacBook or MacBook pro with a solid state drive?

I'd buy that in a heartbeat

Apple's product development team needs to get out into the real world more often. No optical drive? Non-user-replaceable battery? Give me a break!

I'm definitely not buying this pig in a poke.

NO WAY I will buy this machine after having read this. A laptop without user-replaceable battery? Thai is just plain stupid.

Also, hopefully T-Mobile and RIM will fix the current partial incompatibility between the Curve and T-Mobile's UMA, which results in my never getting more than 2 bars of UMA reception, anywhere under any conditions.

My Nokia 6086, as limited as it was, at least got all 5 bars in UMA mode

Also, will I need to spend more $$$ to replace my current T-Mobile Linksys router?

Does this mean no more unlimited UMA service with other open WiFi networks?

I was having fun talking on the Apple Store's open WiFi network with my T-Mobile Blackberry Curve. :) Kinda threw the iPhone fanatics off balance...

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
