T-Mobile’s Project Dark: $99.99 unlimited on Even More, $79.99 on Even More Plus?
The details of T-Mobile’s mysterious Project Dark definitely seem to be congealing around retooled handset billing and a set of new plans, and it looks like TmoNews might have the first word here on the all-important subject of plan pricing. Even More Plus, which would be contract-free and offer new handset FlexPay over four installments, is apparently tracking for a $79.99 all-you-can-eat package, $69.99 with 1,000 voice minutes, or $49.99 with unlimited voice and no data. Even More meanwhile, which basically amounts to new contract plan branding with traditional hardware subsidies, will come in at $99.99 for unlimited everything (mirroring Sprint’s pricing) or $59.99 for unlimited voice alone. It seems strange that the contract pricing is higher than the prepaid, especially since Even More Plus apparently won’t offer any hardware subsidies whatsoever, but we’re sure we’re going to find out how this all shakes out soon enough. Follow the break for another shot of the pricing grids.

T-Mobile Tap coming November 11, Samsung Behold II on November 18?
The CLIQ might be getting the lion’s share of the Android spotlight on T-Mobile at the moment, but it’s not the only Google-equipped gear in the carrier’s pipeline — the other big news there would be the Behold II from Samsung, a logical successor to the myTouch 3G with an AMOLED display and 5 megapixel cam. Seems like there’s a little bit of a wait left, because TmoNews has scored some launch documentation suggesting that they’re planning on a November 18 to get it pushed out to the public (and let’s be honest, we’d all rather have that positively sick nasty myTouch Fender Limited Edition anyhow). Moving our attention downmarket, there’s apparently a self-branded (read: a manufacturer you’ve never heard of) full touch device called the “Tap” that’ll be hitting on the 11th of next month, likely slotting in below the Highlight in the carrier’s range. No offense, there, Tap, but we’re going to have to take a Behold II over ya.

Motorola CLIQ available to T-Mobile customers now, great masses November 2
Well now this is a pleasingly rapid transition from announcement to review samples to market availability. Motorola’s Android-loving CLIQ (already on sale under the moniker DEXT in the UK), its QWERTY keyboard and all the apps you could desire are now ready to be had, should you already have an account with T-Mobile, the device’s exclusive US carrier. It was expected that only pre-orders would be taken today, but it appears for all the world that T-Mobile is ready to start shipping the CLIQ to its loyal customers ahead of the November 2nd full release date. Prices start from the previously reported $200 on a two-year agreement — a move that will give you plenty of time to wonder if you shouldn’t have waited for more details about the Droid mashup from Verizon, Motorola, and Google.

Microsoft to restore remaining Sidekick contacts this week, other stuff ’shortly thereafter’
Sidekick users tend to be an active, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants bunch, so it’s gotta hurt like the dickens when they don’t have access to their schedules and little black books — but hey, at least it’s still recoverable, right? Microsoft has just posted a quick update to keep everyone abreast on the progress of its Sidekick data recovery, and it sounds like they’ll be able to have remaining missing contacts back in action this week with the rest of the data — to-dos, notes, photos, and the like — following on “shortly thereafter.” Anyone who didn’t lose information in the debacle should be unaffected by the recovery process, but for those who did, these backup tapes couldn’t possibly load into Danger’s feisty data center fast enough.

T-Mobile’s Project Dark includes option for buying phones in monthly installments?
Still no confirmation on any all-you-can-eat data plans, but Boy Genius Report has some convincing screens that seem to reveal some other precepts of T-Mobile’s enigmatic (and purportedly company-saving) Project Dark. Two new plans have emerged, Even More and Even More Plus. The former is the traditional two-year contract, along with options to do data only and get a subsidized phone. Even More Plus doesn’t require a contract, going month-to-monthly instead, and subsequently the phone is full price. However, what’s gonna be interesting to see is the FlexPay option, which allows you to pay for a device in monthly installments instead of upfront, a plan we’ve seen before in markets like Germany and Japan. In the example above, a $400 G1 on the non-contractual Even More Plus plan is divvied out to an initial $170 payment and 19 subsequent installments of $12.10, or $33.33 over three months after the related upfront cost. It’s no game-changer on its own, but it’s certainly an intriguing prospect that’s gonna make some (initially) cash-strapped individuals very happy to be able to walk out with a decent Android device.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
