Hot damn! After over 7 months of being available solely via Tmobile, the Danger Hiptop is finally branching out to other carriers. AT&T subsidiary SunCom has announced a Hiptop service, and -- dig this -- they're undercutting Tmobile by offering a data-only plan for $30 a month.

This rocks for people like me, who already have a main mobile phone and use their Hiptop solely for email, IMing, SMSing, and web surfing. Currently, I'm paying Tmobile for a plan that includes 200 minutes a month, and frankly, the last thing I wanna do with my Hiptop is talk on it. More significantly, the data-only plan illustratest that someone in the telco world finally gets it: Data is, for some customers, way more important than voice.

(Thanks to Boing Boing for this one!)
