You can just dial #646#. Faster than using My Account and no power-sucking widget.

I use DroidStats for the phone minutes to check

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for.

It's better than nothing but it's not very accurate, it'd not keeping track of my minutes right. It's taking off less minutes than it should, I don't think it's counting the times when I go over the next minute by only a few seconds. Is there something in the settings that will fix this?

I think, in the app's Settings, Billing, Billing Increment ... it's important to know which increment the carrier uses.
My carrier counts the same amount of minutes as the app does

Do you have any idea how to find this out?

You could look at the t-mobile site, either in "My Account" at your contract or a t-mobile package which is equal/similar with your contract. The billing increment conditions should be in the small print.
EDIT:
Explaining of e.g. increment 60/1

I can't find the exact increment anywhere, the only thing I can find in the small print is "Calls rated on a per minute basis and partial minutes rounded up" and "We round up any fraction of a minute to the next full minute."... But when I set the addon to 60/60, it says I have alot less minutes than I actually do.... While playing with it, it seems to be closest at 60/30, but I don't understand why...
