pretty late in the game but if their prices don't go up they will have a good product at a great price, atleast in my area.

I agree with you. If their monthly rate prices don't go up, and new good&better phones are launched; T-Mobile will start to increase its quality.

Yet another frequency! Tmobile, I've had it with you, I'm switching to AT&T.

What frequency they use isn't really up to any company at this point. Also, when they got 1700mhz they had high and fast hopes for 3g. The government really stuck it to them on this one. If they had cleared off the spectrum on or around time of sale T-mob would have had 3g working by quarter 3 of 07. I know this doesn't mean much to the end user but just thought I'd post it.

Sprint will have 4G before Verizon, idiot.

And when did he/she say that Sprint wouldn't get 4G before Verizon? It's not in the post. What is up with PhoneArena posters and always trying to prove other people wrong. As if they were geniuses.

That may be true, but Verizon huggers always present a one-sided view of the industry in general. So when you bring up that VZW will have 4G in the next year or so (which by the company's own projections they won't) and then take a shot at the only company that IS projected to have 4G in that time frame, you deserve to be called an idiot.

I am a verizon user and a genius. I ate a A1 steakhouse burger from Burger King and no one questioned it. But seriously LTE is coming along quite nicely and have already made the technology work for the most part. WiMax(sprint) is already developed but Sprint is really going to have to slam the market with this because they are still losing customers everyday.(less the last quarter by i believe 3 or 4 hundred thousand so lose is slowing) The main problem with Sprint going to WiMax is that most other carriers with be on LTE within a year or two after WiMax is largely available. Consider that Verizon had 3g services before ATT and still has a larger 3g footprint than ATT but ATT is still larger thru mergers and purchases. So are that many customer really going to flood to Sprint? Maybe for aircards but I cant see the impact being that huge. And Tmobile has a strong parent company and i think will become more of a competitor in the future but adventually they will most likey raise their prices. How do you compete with ATT and Verizon having so many customer that they can call for free? Give them more minutes for the same price. Or if your Alltel give them unlimited calling to up to 20 people.... I wish either Verizon or ATT would make a campaign that says something to the degree of calling plans for people that have more than 20 friends and relatives...or unlimited calling to 60 some million on the same network because real freinds dont let freinds use ALLTEL!! not that i beef i would just really enjoy that campaign

you describe exactly what you just did. And for that matter the #11 poster is an idiot. Verizon wont be close to actually launching 4g (LTE) for two years, and that's by their and the equipment manufacturers generous estimates. Also, T-mobile is adding over a million customers per quarter, so that comment is totally incorrect.

Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusettes, Rhode Island, and Connecticut all make up New England. Are they saying that there will be 3G EVERYWHERE in those states where there is coverage ... or just SOME of New England? Most likely, only Boston and the surrounding area will benefit from this.

that's pointless 1700MHz? there is no phone on the market that supports this band. they are trying to make more money fo selling their own crap.
