Samsung Galaxy S 4G now available on T-Mobile, is the carrier's "fastest smartphone"

0. phoneArena posted on 23 Feb 2011, 09:09

Starting from today, you can get the Samsung Galaxy S 4G on T-Mobile and enjoy speeds of up to 21Mbps. That is if you get HSPA+ at such blazing fast rates. The Galaxy S 4G arrives in a timely manner…

I hate it when they show videos that you really don't see or learn anything but the reporter holding it and turning in around in their hand. If you can't show what the device can do, don't bother. If we want to see what the device looks like, we can check out commercials for it on YouTube.

-__- t-moblie lies. when they had there 4G (HSPA+) at 14 mbps most customers got around 5 mbps now that they have their 4G(HSPA+) at 21mbps people have been reporting having speeds around 8-11 mpbs. stop exaggerating your speeds >:O t-mobile and...HSPA+ is not 4G tell it reaches 100mbps. i need a drink x]

luis,
21mbps is based on the THEORETICAL MAX. Hence the disclaimer that "actual speeds may vary".

i get 5-6 on my 3g vibrant, my wife gets 6-11 on her 4g G2.

Sprint's wimax has a theoretical max of 12 with a real world of 4-7. And they charge extra for that.

VZWs LTE has a theoretical max around 30 somewhere (im sure someone will correct me, hint hint), and when it gets some phones on it, it will probably run around 7-15 in real world tests... but it hasnt so far.

Out of all the "4g" carriers, Tmobile is winning the speed tests, even against LTE for now.

I currently have the T-Mobile Vibrant and like it. The new S 4G is faster and I'm considering going to it. The one thing holding me back is wondering if the newly announced Galaxy S II is coming to the USA and if so, if it's coming to T-Mobile. The specs I've seen so far do NOT have the T-Mobile UTMS 1700 band on it. Anyone know?

Rob,
I would assume that the galaxyS 2 will be on every carrier just like the last one. You wont see a version that has Tmobile's radio (as they are the only ones using it) until the Tmobile specific version is outted.

I would hold off if your on the fence. The new galaxyS 2 brings a lot more horsepower, bigger screen, and new features to the table.

I got this phone yesterday and I love it!
It has a pretty cool design on the back and really light weight and the screen is absolutely amazing!
