T-Mobile still locks their phones so you cannot download Java apps that do not have their T-Mobile certificate. This means even when PAYING for the data plan, you can download but not run the Google Maps Java app, for example. I know this because I just tried it on the Samsung Gravity 2 and had to unbrand my previous phone a year ago to enable this capability.
THIS SUCKS!
