T-Mobile looks to be revamping all kinds of plans and devices lately, and their latest offering dubbed T-Mobile Complete just adds to the fun. The new program allows for contract-free devices, namely the Curve 8520. According to Engadget, you can grab the Curve 8520 for $299.99 or a Pearl for $149.99. The first month of service is including free, but you're on your own after that. The plans start around $59.99, so not a bad deal if you are weary of getting in on a contract. The T-Mobile Complete packages should be arriving in Best Buy and WalMart just in time for the holiday season.

This is actually really awesome. After 7 years of buying T-Mobile Sidekicks with 2 year contracts and having them break on me after the first year, I really started to think that contracts are a means of screwing us over. Hopefully my Blackberry Bold 9700 will be a different story as far as build quality is concerned, but its really a great idea to let people buy the phone at a low price without a contract. Not sure if I understand the 60 dollar part. Is that 60 bucks every month after that for eternity or something? Not such a cool idea if that's the case.
Looking at the T-Mobile US site I cannot find any information regarding T-Mobile Complete. Right on the front page though the first ad that comes up is for their contract free service called T-Mobile Even More Plus. Unlimited Talk and Text is $59.99 but there are plans starting at $29.99 for 500 minutes of talk time.
According to the site also the Curve 8520 is $349, not $300 and there are a lot more than 4 contract free phones to choose from.
i think what adam means is that the plan will be 59.99 for every month of service after the first month ... & no this is not wrong info, notice in the post it states that the plan should be arriving for the holidays ... meaning u won't see it on tmobile's website yet
I've scoured the US, UK and Deutsche T-Mobile sites and have not found this press release that Engadget talks about (and quotes). I did a Google search quoting the first line of the press release and none of the few hits link to any T-Mobile site. So where is this phantom press release coming from?
We've had them in best bou for a while now..
We've been selling them at best buy for a while now
BB power users were underwhelmed with the 8500 series, but this is where it belongs. With the 8520, you have a complete BB device cheap enough to sell without a contract, and with lots of memory (relatively speaking) for installing apps.
Adam, according to any news article I have read so far only the 8520 is available on T-Mobile Complete at launch. The other three phones are Samsung phones.
$300 is pretty steep for the 8520 though. It should be priced at $199. There are numerous texting phones available for a lot cheaper and this is the market that the 8520 is aimed at.
