Just double checking since the site says unthrottled.

You can't pay extra for tethering, since this doesn't bother you then great. You will never be throttled so feel free to go to sleep with Pandora blasting out whatever. Also I may be biased but the nexus ⁴ is objectively a sick phone that is the ultimate T-Mobile 4G phone since it supports both "HPSA42-4G" and "LTE-4G"
There is no reason to pay extra for anything else in my opinion.
Agree with the Nexus 4, it is an extremely nice phone for $300 or $350. Just note that it technically does not have LTE (it is not licensed for LTE), just that if you root with the right radio drivers the LTE works.

isn't that illegal though if its unlicensed by the FCC to operate on LTE airwaves?

The LG Optimus L9 is $199, and its probably the best phone you can get for $200 or less. 4G, dual core, 4.5 inch screen... Its fast too.

Thanks i was looking at that phone too
.Hopefully can buy it with in the net month or 2.
.Hopefully can buy it with in the net month or 2.I don't know the answer to that. Under Android 4.2 the LTE radio worked. Google "fixed" the radio, to not work, with the 4.2.2 update. People who install custom ROMs are reinstalling the older radio driver to make the LTE work, which likely muddies the water even more, since they are technically using a radio driver provided by Google/LG.

There was a deal where if you bought it from T-Mobile.com it came with a free $50 top up card, essentially making the phone $150. Not sure if its still going though.

Sorry but ever since the first sale doctrine was upheld by the Supreme Court I'm pretty sure once I buy something I OWN IT, therefore I will do as I please. If the FBI doesn't like it they are free to burst down my door for breaking FCC regulation

lmao, yeah. I doubt it'll do me any good anyways considering I don't think LTE is at my area quite yet.

I had virgin mobile before this I'm shocked that everywhere I go my note 2 has all bars even though I ventured deep into Clifton yesterday I finally was able to use the GPS and it worked great. Anyway for me tmobile coverage is way better. I remember my evo v would not have any bars. Lol and GPS requires a little data to get routes so I would have been screwed.

T-mobile's coverage is awesome,no dropouts at all and 100% stable since i've been using it.
