T-Mobile Cuts Data Plan Prices

{mosgoogle left} The data rate cuts now put T-Mobile in line with competitors such as AT&T who's unlimited data plans for non-pda devices average $19.99/month. T-Mobile is the only major carrier in the United States to not offer a 3G high speed data plan, however the company purchased the 2100mhz frequency, which is ultra popular everywhere else in the world, and some reports put the release of their high speed network at the end of the year.

T-Mobile will continue to offer their Blackberry plans at the current rate of $19.99/month, however they will also offer a cheaper alternative specific to email use.

T-Mobile also offers their "Hotspot" packages for $19.99/month, which allows users to connect at cable like speeds in thousands of locations nationwide, such as Borders Books. It is unclear at this point whether T-Mobile will add this feature to their unlimited plan.
