    For whatever reason, I'm in the market for another TV, and I figured, "why not an HDTV?"

    I've been holding off on getting an HDTV for quite a while. I currently don't have a TV. I watch all of my TV and play all of my games on a 24" 1920 x 1080 monitor. I watch all of my TV online currently.

    I want an HDTV. But I don't want one too big. 40" looks just about right for what I want. I want to be able to watch some movies, TV and play some games. I do want it to be 1080p. Some people say you can't tell the difference, but I honestly can.

    I know that as soon as I get one, though, the price will drop. :(

    Question, how often would it be reasonable to replace a HDTV? I have a 50 inch Sony KF-50WE620, which I kinda want to replace but it feels wasteful (and wasteful I am not!), so what do you think?

    I bought a 46" 120Hz Sammy last year for my living room. I might get something for my bedroom, but for now, I'm content with what I have.

    I live in an apartment, so it's maybe a 20-step walk to my TV. I think I'll hold off on another TV for a while.

    In my case, I'm very glad I got a plasma. No matter where you put the furniture you still get a good picture and our room isn't so light that an LCD's brightness would be an advantage.

    @oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...: Not at all - I just got my new 42" plasma last week and it weighed the same as my old (very old, so heavier than they are now) 36" LCD.

    Picture is fantastic, especially considering I got it under $600 shipped. Thanks, Dell!

    @oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...: No problem.

    Really the only drawback I've seen from modern plasmas is they're power hungry compared to modern LCD's. But, you can get a good sized plasma for less than the equivalent LCD as well.

    TMO kicks ATT's ass in NYmetro area service already, and that's pretty much all that matters to me. Their customer service is top notch, as good as Apple's, and their rates are solid as is. Make it better? You're fuckin right I'll have another slice of cake.

    @dankicksass: Geez Gizmodo, what a way to cover a week old rumor. You guys have certainly been napping if you have finally just gotten around to posting this bit of "news".

    For those of you who only read Gizmodo, the deets on Project Dark are as follows.

    1 - T-mo will be pushing that 21Mbps HSPA+ data service they just test deployed in Philadelphia, nationwide. Speculation has the nationwide roll out of T-mo's 21Mbps HSPA+ to be largely complete by the halfway point in 2010. So pretty much if you live in a larger metropolitan region already covered under T-mo's network, by next July you should be able to take advantage of the new speeds.

    2 - As part of Project Dark (or Project Black, depending on the source), roll out of their 21Mbps HSPA+ network will accompany a new all-you-can-eat price plan that includes voice, data, SMS and MMS. Speculation once again has the price plan firmly set at $50/month.

    3 - Finally, Project Dark will be launching with new 3.5G smartphones outfitted to take full advantage of 21Mbps HSPA+. The initial line-up of 21Mbps HSPA+ smartphones include two Android phones, a Blackberry and Nokia's new Maemo 5 powered tablet:

    Blackberry 9700 (Bold 2)
    Motorola CLIQ
    Samsung Behold II
    Nokia N900

    Super, new network speeds, super low rate plan and a handful of phones that people actually care about. If true, T-Mobile has a whole lot of win in it's immediate future. Only thing missing so far, is the inclusion of Archos' new Android phone, based off the Archos 5 Media Tablet, set to premier in January at CES. Now that's a phone that I can get excited about.

    I dig T-Mobile in black and white. Reminds me of when Superman was killed and returned with that b&w suit.

    Uh yeah its a 3G rollout with their new pricing for an unlimted plan, not a phone. Thats been known for a long time.

    What also has been known for a long time is that its the Nokia n9000 which is anticipated and has received lots of interest from people on this site.

    Am I the only one hyped for the N900 to drop?
    Nokia has made solid phones for a long time now.
    I was more than happy at Tmo since sidekick color and left for a far worse experience at ATT with the iphone.

    @amg206: I'm with you. I was on the fence about getting a carrier-bound 900 (as I'm on AT&T at the moment) but with no AT&T-band version announced I was debating transferring my number, but with the announcement of Dark/Black? Yeah, I'm in. I'm very, very in. To be honest, there just aren't other phones that do as much for me as this piece of Maemo-packing pie.

    I wouldn't mind an N900.
    I do, however, mind parting with a CRAPload of my money. I think the Giz is sayin that the Samsung phones are generally pretty boring, and the decent Nokia phones are either boring and affordable, or ridiculously expensive to obtain.

    I think most of the Giz-gadgeteers here are sensible folk who want affordable tech.

    @nakmario000001002003: I think the expectation is that since T-Mobile will subsidise the phone, we might see it bow in the US at a somewhat reasonable price. But yeah, the unlocked price is a kick in the balls.
