I'd love to give T-Mobile my money, but their network is shit in upstate NY. Outside of Glens Falls, I've got to go down to Saratoga for 3G coverage, Albany for 4G. Sprint's coverage here is lousy, but still far superior to T-Mobile.
As far as the contracts go, as far as I can tell T-Mobile no longer does contracts for the service itself. If you buy a phone from them them and pay it off in installments, that may be different.

That's pretty big if you can actually pay less if you bring your own phone. Right now it's kind of nuts to buy a phone outright if you're on ATT or Verizon because you're basically going to pay them $500 for a phone whether they give you one or not.

No, VZW doesn't do that. At least, didn't as of a week ago when I last checked. VZW and ATT *usually* copy each other, but more so when it comes to fleecing their customers. VZW is still a gigantic dick about reselling their network because it's a money loser for them. ATT seems to resell to just about anyone.
Just switched to T-Mobile from AT&T. Don't notice any difference in service but bill is about $20 less per month than the same tier At&T plan (which has lower bandwidth cap). Also got a Nexus 5 which is pretty damn sweet, especially the price.
BTW, was looking up phone stats. I knew Android was gaining world market share, but didn't realize it was this much:

Yup, and iOS users buy more stuff via mobile as well despite having less market share. Business Insider had an article about it and basically it boils down to the fact that many people basically don't use their Android phones beyond texting and gaming (so basically like a dumb phone). Probably because there are many cheaper options for Android devices for the not so tech-savvy people who want, but don't intend to fully utilize, a smart phone.
As far as TMO postpaid plans, they don't lock you in. You bring your own phone, you can leave any time. You get a phone through them you just have to pay off the remaining balanced owed for the phone in order to leave.

I don't think it means that these users are less tech-savvy than iPhone users. Shit, the main reason iPhones are blasted is because they are loved by the walled garden, hold my hand types. I just think it means that people who buy Android phones are more likely not to spend excessively on useless bullshit. It is why a lot of people don't pay they high price for Apple products in other areas as well.

Ordered a blackberry Z10 off ebay for verizon, my poor pre3 keeps hanging on to life and the wife for whatever reason cant stand it... so the Z10 is on its way, I just need to go get a LTE simcard I think from verizon..or can I just activate it w/o LTE? until I happen to go about buying one. got it for like 150, so if I dont gel with the phone I can resell the thing for 150 or 140 fairly easy- thats the very low point of its sales price on ebay- current trend is 175- I just got lucky finding an auction for one ending at an odd time.

Good article about switching from Verizon to TMO, including a nice little insider tidbit for those who want to stay with VZW for service-related reasons but want some leverage to lower their monthly bill.T-Mobile Switch - Business Insider

Can you be on the loyalty plan and keep unlimited data? Also my former team leader got an upgrade on verizon from bestbuy and kept his unlimited data he said "I had to ask, find someone at BBuy that knew what they where doing and it took a while as they messed with stuff- but I came out with a new phone, renewed contract and still unlimited data."
