T-Mobile Total Internet Review (EDGE + HotSpots)
I just signed up for this on my account and will be testing
it out this weekend with a connection via my SDA phone.
The cost is pro-rated so you can use it for a month, week or day.
Here is a link to the only real review I found online...

***Update***
I've used it for over 24 hours now.
I have my T-Mobile SDA connected to a crappy laptop with XP.
I had activesync installed and it wouldn't plug and play the device driver so I deleted activestink, rebooted and then it found the device.
The driver is on the cd that I got with the phone.
I then installed activestank again.
The instructions I found online didn't work.
I could surf on my phone but when I actived the service
on the phone the connection that existed in
network conenctions dissapeared.
I called 611 and some guy jerked me around
saying it takes up to 48 hours for it all to work.
So I called again and some chick tried to jerk me around
saying the same bullshit so I didn't let her screw around.
You've got to add a new connection that is a dial up,
choose the HTC device and the dial out entry is *99#
with no user name or password.
You then have a dial up connectoid (funky term an old job used)
and you just have to active it on the phone then run the
dial option on the new dial up connectoid.
I connect ad 230 it says.
Its pretty stable but not much throughput.
I haven't tried at a hotspot yet though or the pcmcia card.
