Yes, Too Good To Be True
So I figured that by going to an actually stand alone T-Mobile location I would find accurate answers to all my questions. Nope! The salesman outright lied! I asked him 3 times if he was sure that the "Sidekick Plan" was available for any phone, and 3 times the answer was, "Yes." Liar! After 2 hours with T-Mobile's extremely helpful customer service and "data specialists" we learn that indeed it is only available with the Sidekick device.
Deciding to keep my phone and the supreme customer service of T-Mobile, I switched to a normal voice plan and will simply connect via GSM to my normal ISP at the agonizing speed of 9600 baud. Archaic, slow, and using my ample minutes, but at least I am now "wireless" with this handy 4 ounces of fun.
I pray that no one ran out to purchase the Sidekick plan in the past few hours based upon my earlier misguided post. I'll crawl back into my hole now...
