Sidekick w/ data only from agent?
I am think about getting a Sidekick with a data only plan. I have gone to a couple of T-mobile authorized dealers to inquire and I was told that I can't get a Sidekick with a data only plan. I know this is not true since I can order this configuration on T-Mobile's web page. I was going to the dealers to see if I could get a better price on Sidekick.
Are authorized dealers not allowed to sell this configuration? One of them told me I could get the voice and data plan and drop the voice plan after a month, I find this hard to believe.
Sidekick pricing was a bit better from the dealers but not if I have to buy a voice plan.

You can get the data only plan, it's 29.99 per month. Sounds like some dealers just don't want to sell you the data only plan because they don't get paid enough commission on it.

personally, I'd never buy anything through an authorized wireless dealer. Every day I am fixing their mistakes (e.g. customers wanting to get an upgrade, but the dealer added a line onto their account instead; selling a 'temporary' phone b/c they don't have any of the one you want, only not to be able to exchange it w/o their manager present). They like to sell you a phone, then send you to the corporate store to fix any questions/problems you encounter.
Go review 'The Mobile Solution', 'Snap Wireless', or any of the other authorized dealers and you're sure to find numerous horror stories.

In general I agree with you. The mall I was in has a T-Mobile corporate store, which was fairly crowded, and three T-mobile dealers. If the difference was going to be less then $50 I was going back to the corporate store. It just seemed odd that none of the dealers would sell me a Sidekick with a data only plan.
