Which smartphones can T-Mobile customers buy for LTE service?

MetroPCS already did that. Once they began piggybacking off Verizon's LTE, their price plans gradually went up.

Verizon: good phones, great network, high prices
Att: great phones, mediocre network, high prices
Sprint: okay phones, poor network, great prices
T-Mobile: okay phones, mediocre network, great prices

This is my opinion...

Networks: Verizon < ATT < Tmobile < Sprint

I'd give T-Mobile a "marginal" on network, and sprint a "high prices" and "marginal-to-poor" network rating. They're priced almost exactly in-line with AT&T's non-Mobile Share plans, except they offer unlimited data (a joke on their network) whereas AT&T offers 3GB for the same price. Verizon's is only "great" if you get LTE, unless you have a non-smartphone.

I have used Sprint before and their network was way better than T-mobile. The cost of Sprint and T-mobile are the cheapest out there. Now if only T-mobile's network would work underground, off the coast by half a milem or in some back country. These two would be equal. Verizon is the one and only company I have never used. It's like buying a new car with so many costly tiers. The same goes AT&T, I would never go back to them as well and their costs

Tmo's network is great depending on your location. From my home to work I never lose 4g and always above 10mb in speed. Also my commute is a total of 44 miles a day and during that drive I'm streaming music on Google Music The whole time.

I understand that you can get truly unlimited data with Sprint, but definitely not GREAT price that you guys had mention. Acceptable willl be the word that I use

Those are phones that will have a LTE radio inside them.

Yeah the update for the ones on TMO do say LTE in the network mode. But I don't believe it will catch the full speed. Still will be faster than the Current HSPA+ though. Who knows, it may have a disabled LTE modem in it that no one since the release of the phone has seen. Highly unlikely, but still a chance.

When I got the same update to 4.1.1 ,it says LTE/GSM/WCDMA and I talked to a TMobile rep and she told that the current GSIII(T999),will be LTE enabled.

It won't .It'll be LTE/HSPA+ etc.
