Ugg.. here's my issue.
I was all set to buy the tab on Verizon as they have the best data plan options and it's the cheapest off contract, but then found out about the crippled Bluetooth and can imagine that I will (at some point) want to use a Bluetooth Keyboard... for the same reason, the Sprint version is out as well.
That leaves me with AT&T and T-mobile.
It looks like on T-mobile you can't get it without a contract and these tablets will be near obsolete in two years so don't want to be locked into a contract.
On AT&T you can get with a month to month, but it seems there are only two data options.. 200MB and 2GB plans.. plus it's $550 ($50 more than Verizon).
I guess in typing this out my only real option is to spend the extra $50 and get the AT&T one, but does anyone see any options I'm missing with the AT&T and T-mobile plans?
Thanks for any info.

I just checked Costco and they have it for $449 on Verizon.. so now I have to decide if it's worth $100 to be able to use a Bluetooth keyboard.. hmm.. I'm thinking it's not.
