If you haven't looked lately, you might try again. They could be terribly tempting.
(My phone was "too high" for you at $500, but since the payments are split across 20 months (no interest) I hardly notice it. T-Mobile also gives you a discount for being off-contract. They are awesome as a provider in pretty much every way.)

T-mobile doesn't have any coverage in my city of 12-20,000 here in mid-Michigan. I'd have to drive 30 minutes to get any sort of coverage. They're really a major city cell provider IMO. Their coverage
Boost mobile and Virgin are Sprint MVNOs - they use Sprint towers with no roaming. My wife and I are on them. The only Android device Virgin has is the intercept at $250 which has a terribly low resolution screen (still might get one eventually). Boost has the Motorola i1 but it's on the old Nextel iDen network - not even fast enough for streaming audio - my step-mom has one. You can get a Hero, Evo, etc onto Boost, but only through law-breaking ESN cloning.
Most prepaid still lacks a good android phone. They all come tethered to $60-$100 a month plans. It's ridiculous.
