Windows Phone 7. My god, it's full of tiles!

Going SIM only would be problematic (not for me personally, but I'm on T-Mobile).

I'm okay with buying a new phone--of course, if it turns out there are no WP8 options with a keyboard, my tone will probably change.

Yeah, I guess I could go back to T-Mo if I had to -- I left the network a couple years ago because I had poor reception in a few areas I spend a lot of time at. I just don't want to have to go to AT&T, and I'd strongly prefer just staying on Sprint with my relatively cheap unlimited, unthrottled data.

Synthesis

I'm actually on T-Mobile's individual data plan which offers excellent speeds and no throttling I've ever said.

That being said, coverage is very sketchy out in the countryside. And coincidentally, shit in my apartment complex (but great everywhere around it, hah). I wouldn't blame someone for changing, or not wanting to leave their existing carrier for whatever reason.

With their current plans, they throttle you to 2G/EDGE if you go over your cap. Caps are 200MB at $10, 2GB at $20, 5GB at $30, and 10GB at $55.

With the grandfathered plan, iirc they throttle to 2G at 5GB, but I didn't look that up or anything.

Synthesis

No kidding? I'm paying $30 a month for unlimited wireless, and I have downloaded more than 10 GB on occasion (mostly thanks to the Netflix app).

I've never noticed any sort of throttling. Then again, I've heard the same for all providers, including Sprint, who use careful wording to skirt around the issue. It's kind of a nebulous area for the uninformed (like me).

Sprint does not throttle, but they do reserve the right to curb heavy data users.

I have no idea what their actual process is, but they say there that they'll contact people who are "abus[ing] our network by violating the terms and conditions" and ask them to change their usage, then terminate their service if they don't.

Apparently some things that could be considered abuse would be using large amounts of roaming data (Sprint has free 2G data roaming on Verizon towers), or using a lot of tethered data without a tethering plan.

Should I make a dedicated WP8 thread? This one seems kinda... un-updated.

New update notification on my Omnia 7.

Anyone else?

Just got the update myself! I got the notification last night/this morning it was available. Tethering is an option now! Videos over MMS is an option! (Though I haven't figured how what size limitation there is yet)

Oh, and for those of you on Verizon, I found this thread at XDA-Developers to be VERY helpful.

edit: And to send video MMS, you have to have the resolution in QVGA. Everything else gave the "too big" notification. I'm not sure of the length limit yet.
