Given past experience with T-Mobile, you probably need to give them both
social security number and a credit card, so I probably won't take them
up on their "free" offer.

That was more-or-less my reasoning for getting one, but the clincher was
finding out on Tday that my sibling and spouse had independently decided
to get one for my nibling, so I really needed to get one in order to help
them.

Supposedly with the monochrome screen the battery life is good enough to
use the XO as an eBook reader...
