Changing phone during contract

Currently I have a Sidekick 2 with just under a year left on the flext contract which I purchase with it. However, i've seen the MDA Vario II, what it can do and frankly i'm wanting one.

So I was wondering is it possible for me to purchase a MDA Vario II off ebay, put my pay monthly contract sim card in and everything work properly?

If so, do I need to let T-mobile know i'm doing this? Would they need to know the new IMEI number?

Also I currently have WnW on said SIM card. Will that carry over automatically too?

K, would they not want the IMEI number though? So if I did lose it I could just pop in the shop and tell them to stop the service? Not sure if thats how it works...

The service is on the SIM so can be cancelled. I have an O2 Exec I bought on eBay and am using on W'n'W

Right, thanks.

Seeing as im asking newb questions and people are kindly answering...

I currently have the ?7.50 WnW but i've read that this one dosent support IM (even though AOL and e-messenger work on the SK2).

If I get a Vario II will MSN messenger work on it?

Yes, MSN will work perfectly on it. I've been using MSN on mine for ages (even at work, ironically I worked for the T-Mobile retail store in Birmingham!).

Put simply, just move your SIM over and it won't make a difference to Tmob which phone you're using as long as you pay your bills every month :)

I've used my main sim (from a V3i) in a Vario, C500, SP5, K800i, MoDaCo C600 and more recently my Brother's M3100 - and my second SIM came in my K800 and now lives in my MDA Pro - it works perfectly in each :D

Hope that helps.
