We're skeptical, but reports have the Dream being available in a little over a month from T-Mobile...

no one cares about t mobile even if they do get better phones than VZW No Service=No Need for a phone ...unless this is hot spot compatible

I am with you, no UMA/Wifi, it is not worth getting. I'm shocked that T-Mobile is relasing with out UMA/Wifi the UMA service is the best signal booster ever because there is no extra charge unlike Sprints airwave. 3G is nice but cmon, it is not nationwide and broadband access pretty much is by some provider and you can get a wireless router for about 50 bucks or more so this needs UMA/Wifi or it won't sell

i dont understand why everyone hates on tmobile. i never get droped calls in portland like verizon and at&t does. the only beef i have w/ them is the lack of 3g which they claim to be adding here. after 3g comes if the price doesent go up they would be the best carrier out there

I agree, I have no problem beef with the other providers except Sprint because of customer service and terriable upgrade policy. but lack of 3G is annoying but with a UMA/Wifi device you can greatly improve your signal and on some devices you can use data. and NO CONTRACT (even though you have to pay more for the device). Its cool that T-Mobile is finally releasing 3G, but I think they should focus on 4G way more so they won't be so far behind AT&T and Verizon with 4G

terrible upgrade policy? who has a better one? every customer gets a discount after one year, not just select ones, and like vzw high value ones get a full discount once a year. they dont give an additional $50 off the 2 year price like vzw, but their prices are also lower on the whole.

Yeah, I have to jump on this little "why hate on T-Mobile?" bandwagon. I've had them for several years now in Los Angeles, and I have absolutely no issues with their service. My only gripes, like many here, are the lack of 3G (which is coming), and good phones (which I hope is coming). I've had Sprint here, as well as Cingular, and all were fine. No service is perfect. The only one where I saw concrete evidence of a better signal was Verizon. My friends and I were in the middle of the desert. All carriers were represented. The only one with service was Verizon. That being said, Verizon's plans are much more expensive than T-mobile's, and I don't really find myself in the middle of nowhere too often.

150 off of the phone after completing 22 months of your contract is BS, Verizon gives you 50 or 100 bucks off of your new device with a new 2 yr (depending on rate plan for the amount) and being able to upgrade at the 2 yr price after completing 12 months of the contract (depending on the rate plan), T- Mobile and AT&T will allow for you to upgrade at the 2 year price after completing 22 months of the contract and sprint will give you 150 off of full retail in most cases that is not cheaper or equat to what they will offer customer to come to Sprint so everybody has a better upgrade policy that Sprint

know your facts. at the 22 month mark existing customers get the exact same pricing as new customers. its at least $150 off, not just $150 off. they qualify for any additional instant and mail in rebates, just like a new customer. just like vzw, for high value customers they can upgrade after 12 months at that price. vzw does give an additional $50-$100 off for single or primary lines, but vzws phone prices are significantly higher so thats usually a ways, especially if youre dealing with multi-line upgrades. for example, the muziq and chocolate 3 are similar phones, with the muziq being $50 less. the touch is $99 on sprint and $249 on vzw

okay im with you on the touch (which is way over priced) i disagree with you on the muziq and the chocolate 3 because the chocolate is about a month old, ill stop hating all companies have a reasonable upgrade policy depending on what device you want, but there customer service is still the worst lol

sprint has the best upgrade policie cause u get the same off if not more than verizon, the only other company comparable, and if call cust care before u upgrade they give u an extra 450 to $70 credit tward the acct bal.

70 bucks to stick with there sorry ass, my sister has sprint and I know about that but no thanks thats not even a free month of service, look if you call Verizons care they can give 2 free months of monthly access charges not 70 bucks

"Specs are reported to be a 5"x3" touchscreen with slide out QWERTY, 3G data and a 3.0 megapixel camera" ain't that as ENORMOUS as a fridge?! damn, no one's gonna want to carry that thing in their pants, not even in their hands, that's just way too big for a phone

I think that T-Mobile good service or not is doing well in announcing new exclusive and general devices on their network. Its a nice surprise to think that T-Mobile may not be bought out by the big three. If your near the city you wont have a problem with their service.

If youre hoping for a good 3g coverage from Tmo you can hold your breath on that one. By the time it 3g is up to par with Big Red current 3g. All carriers will have upgraded to 4g, while Tmo just starts to get decet.

I agree but I can't hate on T-Mobile because of 2 things, No Contract and UMA. the lack of 3G sucks but the UMA is a good 2nd option they just need to not release a phone without the UMA option. I do agree quit this, stop hyping up 3G and catch up to 4g Little Pink. and the only company worth sucking balls is Sprint. Sprint means run so everybody should run away before there phones become bricks lol
