Question regarding T-mobile Prepaid in Germany

Both named providers use the eplus network, which has some gaps in coverage in few uninhabited areas, but there's no really big difference (see eplus coverage map). However a disadvantage of eplus is, that they neither support EDGE (but GPRS) nor HSDPA (but regular 3G/UMTS).
In another thread I advised a countryman of you, whose phone doesn't support the European 3G-bands at 2100 MHz, to go for a T-Mobile or Vodafone-based provider as they do at least have EDGE, but your N82 supports European UMTS and so you could get internet access with 384 KBit/s on eplus' 3G-network.
Anyway, if you prefer the T-Mobile network, check my recommendations on this thread, but be ready to be charged € 1-2/min for calls to the US. Except for solomo pro and Blauworld all prepaid providers have crazy international rates.
