How's this deal for my first cell phone?

I may be nuts, but this T-Mobile sounds sweet.
Ok, lets see if I get it.
1) I start with a starter kit for either $40, $50 or $80 for one of the three phones offered
2) It comes with 60 starter minutes
3) I can buy more minutes but do the "prepaid rates and minutes" represent what I am offered on refill or do I need to order those minutes when I get the started kit?
I ask cause I suspect I should just pay the $100 for the 1k minutes and just see how long that lasts me. Probably a long time considering my phone usage at home.
4)Does that mean at $100 for 1k that's $.10/minutes, right? Damn this sounds good. Am I missing something?

What about the phones?
For just $10 more I can get the Nokia 6800 over the 3595.
I seem to get things not found in the more costly Siemens CF62T.
For instance:
e-mail
FM radio
Infrared
Backlight keyboard
Text messeging

The Siemens has a few things the 6800 doesn't, like
Active flip phone
Antenna
World phone (Tri-Band)

As for the FM radio, I just ordered a Creative mp3 player with FM from Dell, so I guess that's not needed. The Siemens is certainly smaller than the Nokias.
Uhh, are either of these "unlocked"? I'm not sure if that question is that important, but I figured if I didn't ask I just might regret not checking into it.

What's Infrared needed for?
Don't both have text messaging?

What did I forget?! I always forget something!
 
In the T-Mobile Pay As You Go, I think all I have to pay initially is for the phone and lets say $100 for 1k minutes expiring after 365 days.
Sure that's $20 more than the virginmobile you posted about, but how many minutes and what's the expiration?
 
I just checked out the Virgin Mobile website. I must say, the T-Mobile website is so simple I'm looking for a gotcha and there doesn't seem to be any. All the info is right up there.
I can't find anything about a pay as you go at Virgin.
 
Last post was before reading your last post.

Hmm... I probably will end up spending $.25/minute for all my calls then cause I make so few and don't talk long.
I think I still like the T-Mobile better. I know what I have for the year and I can always add more if I need to scale my usage upwards.

I'm still in the dark about the phones offered. Any comments?
 
H20,
I was beginning to get your point when I thought that perhaps I only use the phone a couple or 3 days a week, but then I check the cost of the Audiobox Flasher V7 at $170 but then there's the Kyocera K7 Rave at clearance at $40.
1. I just don't know the phones if they're any good and
2. Who has better connectivity in Phoenix, Vigin or T-Mobile?
