Android and iOS4 not your thing?  Still don’t know what those two words mean?  T-Mobile just released the LG Sentio.  It’s just $70 on contract and includes a 3-inch touchscreen, some sort of “Social Buzz” feature, 3 megapixel camera, visual voicemail, 3G connectivity, customizable widgets and email access.  In other words it’s cool enough on the outside, but kind of lame on the inside.

My hats off to T-Mobile.  They did a solid job keeping the deets on Project Dark in the dark, that is until a few days ago when all the info pretty much spilled out on to the webosphere.  Today, the company got official with their new rate plans which seem to be a mix of Sprint’s unlimited offering and Verizon’s ‘no contract, bring your own equipment’ setups.

Both the Even More Plus and Even More plans are available in a family plan (for a premium) format and break down like this: …Continue reading: T-Mobile’s New Rate Plans Now Official And Available For Your Perusal

We still don’t know much about T-Mobile’s Project Dark, but I guess that sort of explains the chosen name.  Now, thanks to a leaked add (pictured above) it looks like T-Mobile will have 2 unlimited plans to choose from, although it’s far from clear what those will be.

My best guess is that the ‘Even More’ plan applies to any phone of your choosing, while the ‘Even More Plus Plan’ provides you with same unlimited plan, but provides a significant discount on a select number of handsets.  Then again, it could be some sort of crazy international or data plan that isn’t currently offered by any carrier.  Word is that T-Mobile will lift their veil of secrecy sometime early next week or perhaps as early as the end of this week.
