Good credit is still required to sign up for the 20 month full retail price installment plan that is part of T-Mobile's Project Dark, to be announced after this week...

Good Credit... No brainer And the balance on the phone is the ETF? What the hell is so revolutionary about this? The reason there is an ETF is because no carrier wants to be stuck with the cost of the subsidized phone. I like the way this is done though, but is their still a contract? I hope this helps move us away from contracts.

it all costs the same if you think about it. etf or pay monthly for your device on a finance plan. WOW, the game didn't change at all.

I really like the idea that I saw earlier about this whole project. tThat idea being no contracts I really hope more carriers start doing this and I'm glad to see US carriers to finally start doing what Europe has been doing payment plans for buying phones

So, get an unsubsidized monthly installment, and risk getting bad credit if you decide to leave for any reason, orrrrr, just make that full payment for an unsubsidized device over amazon or any other retail medium and if you hate the service, up and leave w/o it affecting your credit. But seeing how this is Tmo who uses a solitary 3G band, you're stuck w/ your purchase regardless... This is cool to most, to some, it's pretty eh... I'm still eager to see how this Project Dark even goes down...

Does anybody know if these new plans are for new customer also? And do they have family plans with these prices also?
