yeah i can get a good deal if i choose to give myself a new contract, but thats not my aim, im upgrading to a family plan on a month to month basis, from my curretn two year contract with fav 5. with the month to month it works out that my sister (currently on Metro PCS) and me would both save a huge amount of money (actually i think i even out or even pay a little more cause ill go with an unlimited data upgrade for my phone) there fore i have to buy the phone outright.

I believe the mytouch has multitouch capable hardware, but won't have any apps (3rd party or Google) or SDK support until it receives a 2.x OS update. The new version of the mytouch with extra memory is expected to receive such an update in the next few months but only the Fender Edition has been confirmed by T-Mobile (the Fender edition and the MyTouch + 3.5 mm jack are the same hardware though so it seems a no-brainer).

Sprint offers the most cost effective plans to date... Verizon the best coverage and that includes it's 3g. Both offer time to use the phone and decide if you want to keep it. This is the route to take and get the experience first hand if you are a first time Smartphone user. I would highly suggest doing it this way, you can read and ask all you want about the two phones and get 5,000 different opinions. There is no substitute for having it IN HAND, feeling it, seeing if it does all you want, etc. If you go this route the worst you are out a few bucks for airtime usage... Make sure you talk to the carriers and KNOW the limits, how many days, etc. for backing out of contract.
