I've got a Nexus One and a Galaxy Tab, both are 850Mhz WCDMA versions I got to use on the XT network, which I'm doing.

Other than the fact that they won't work outside of the CBD in WCDMA/HSPA mode (2100Mhz) with Vodafone, it looks like it'd almost be worth the sacrifice due to their relatively spectacular deals. $40.85/month for 30 anytime minutes, 300 texts, 3GB of data (!!) and 1000 PXTs.

Now, the closest I can get to 3GB with XT appears to be 500MB which is available as an add-on, the base plan that I can plug this into is still going to cost $68.61/month all up. Admittedly there's a "limited time" offer on this which gives me 1GB of data and 5000 Texts.

Now, the texts I could care less about, I send around 300-ish a month.

Am I missing something or is there a huge imbalance in the data plans between the two networks?

I _could_ get a pure mobile broadband plan, but that still works out significantly more expensive than the Smart1 plan.

Any suggestions?
