I just got an 8290 from voicestream and it worked right out of the
box.  Took, literally, a minute to put in the phone number and hit
connect.  I had asked the guy at voicestream about the data service
(which is 20 something a month extra) and he told me that I did not
need it, that it would work fine just using it's regular minutes
calling the isp.
