FWIW; T-mobile is pretty generous in their phone upgrades AND for high-yield customers they have a special "secret" program, the T-mobile retentions department will often reward their best customers for staying with cheap/free phones and free months of service.
I have had T-Mobile for 3 months with a Blackberry Pearl which I loved and spent about $500 each month on International roaming (the client told me not bother with buying an International SIM because they did want the hassle of dialing an International number to reach me at their remote locations). At the end of the day the client thought this was worth it to them because they wanted to get a hold of me easily from their local office dialing my local cell phone number.

The other day being a big gadget freak and loving the fact the DASH has WI-FI I had to get it. I was in a T-Mobile store and told him I only had service for about 3-months. He looked at my account and said because of spending it wasn't a problem he could give me the same rate for the phone, I did have to renew my contract but to me that wasn't a big deal since T-Mobile has treated me pretty good (I called their customer service overseas for a few issues which they were excellent in resolving).
