Backstory: had 270 with t moblile month to month 39 for 1000 whenever.
battery is dying. order VC GSM 650, never got here. Got cing 650 to try for 30 days. 30 days is up today...MUST DECIDE TODAY.

FACTS

CINGULAR
Last day of 30 Days with cingular. Must decide today!
39 dollar 450 min/ w rollover
$20 media net unlimited/before feb
1 year contract.
Cost me $550 with tax.
Rep Cant use the $50 dollar rebate without the $39 dollar media plan
Year contract.

VIENNA CHANNELS
Also have $350 VC unlocked treo ordered but who knows when they will be here Here is what I have to decide today and I could use your help..

T-MOBILE
Also kept broken 270 with month to month that t mobile wont replace for less than $300 as a backup option if VC unlocked 650 got here within the 30 dys- which it did not. Which is why I am in this mess.

QUANDRY

What would you do...What is the ideal outcome given these facts.

1) last day of 30 day with cingular
2) have tmobile on broken 270 with no contract costing me $50 /month
3) have vc ordered GSM unlocked
4) have to decide today

PROS IN STAYING WITH CING
IF I keep cing 650 as is with cingular"
already paid setup fee
20 unlimited media is now gone up
Less hassel life stress to program whole new phone
Has edge

CONS STAYING WITH CING
stuck with cingular
Crippled phones
Crippled Dun and locked to cingular
(THIS IS CRITICAL, IS THERE A GSM PATCH THAT WORKS?)
No insurance

4 POSSIBLE SCENARIOS

1) take back the phone and contract _ pay the cost of setup fee ($36?)
And not have a treo till the unlocked comes

2) take back the treo and get a cheapest phone that works with current plan. Switch sims when the unlocked ones comes and stay with cingular
shut off tmobile

3) take back everything and try to use my tmobile account with a (broken 270 that they want to charge me 300 dollars to fix) till the unlocked treo comes. Then swith my tmobile sim to the unlocked treo

4) keep the cingular phone, get it unlocked by cingular somhow, find a patch to enable dun, keep the cingular contract, and ebay the unlocked one when it Comes.

Further questions:

Since part of the dicision is between Cing edge and t moble gprs
And Chicago is on EDGE, how do I find out if my phone is on edge instead of GPRS nHow fast should edge be? I get between 70 and 112 kbs is that edge?

Does T mobile have insurance on an unlocked 650 with no plan?

I know cingular does not but if the thing breaks will cingular replace it after 30 days or does it go back to palm.

What would you do? must decide today!!!! All constructive comments welcome. What is the ideal outcome as far as value?

Thanks for your help,
