I was looking forward to this as well. I have debated it at the $80/monthly price point. It's just so nice to have when traveling. Once Sprint launches in more markets (and actually covers the whole market, not just CBD/airport) we may see a real drop from someone.
I enjoy your site and just linked to this particular article. Thanks!

That's too bad about needing a voice plan to get the deal. I was looking to sign up with this, but not anymore. Happily a GSM user!
