    Stuck with AT&T and its poor customer service because of the iPhone. Would love to get back to T-mobile someday with the iPhone or an Android phone.

    Great timing... the day after T-mobile's nationwide SERVICE MELTDOWN.

    I love my T-Mobile android phone! I think that it's going to supercede the iPhone in the future. There's more room for third party development. I have the MyTouch3G and my phone does more than my roommate's iPhone, plus I look a lot less conformist. It's an excellent platform, and a great phone.

    In spite of yesterday's outage, I will forever sing the praises of T-Mo. I've been with them 6 years. I have unlimited data, text and voice and I pay around $85 plus tax with my customer loyalty plan. One outage in 6 years, and their network is much more reliable than my friends who are on AT&T.

    i'm not supper impressed with the t-mobile coverage for my g1 at my house. it has a tendency to lose service... (cell and data) and now sometimes i have to reboot the phone to get it to find service again. even when i'm at work where i normally have excellent service.

    though my partner who is also on t-mobile has good service on her older phone.

    ah well... in another year i'll probably look to upgrade my phone anyways. hopefully they'll offer another android phone with a full qwerty keyboard at that point.

    I have a bberry on t-mobile, and it's constantly dropping calls and data. Same thing, have to pull the battery and reboot to get it to work. I just don't think I can sell my soul to AT&T to get an iPhone. Androids look good, but I really just want something fast, clean, and reliable. Does such a phone/carrier combo exist?
  • suicideluvkitty · 1 month ago
    yeah, that's kinda why i'm excited about other carriers getting android phones. i'm just not really wanting to go back to verison...

    u need to go to a tmobile corporate store to change ur sim card....u should NOT be having dropped callss......those days are gone, except for at&t haha

    I second Fallon Brooks' comments. I, too, have the MyTouch3G and I love it. The user interface is great, it has virtually all the same kinds of apps, a smaller form factor than the iPhone, and cooler customization options. I also love the Google/Gmail/Google Maps integration. As for T-Mobile, I'm also a long-time customer and have rarely had coverage problems (not even yesterday...during the "meltdown" that caused problems for 5% of their subscribers)

    I HATE my T-mo android phone. It freezes about 27 times a day and takes 4 minutes to send a simple text. Heaven forbid someone sends me a text as I'm sending one....the phone basically combusts in my hands. Service is awful. It's not the OS that I mind (actually kind of like it). It's just VERY unreliable. I need something dependable.

    Thats pretty cool. T-Mobile was the first to launch the device but Verizon did the best job with their launch campaign. Just goes to show how powerful a launch campaign can be. Speaking of launch campaigns, I just found this site www.LifestyleAdvance.com, it looks pretty exciting I signed up but I have no idea what its about. Any idea what product/service their getting ready to reveal?

    Personally, I think T-Mobile missed the boat by letting Verizon beat them to the release of a substantial hardware platform coupled with the Android OS that a mobile professional can truly use.

    In fact, though I’ve been a loyal T-Mobile customer for over 5 years now, I’m seriously thinking it might be time to give the other guy a try so I can finally have a device that is running on my preferred OS (Android) and that I won’t be embarrassed to pull out in a meeting, unlike most of the kidtastic releases from T-Mobile of late.

    After spending two weeks on the Motorola CLIQ, (the phone has great features but many calls mistakenly made later, I hate the thing) making the stupid mistake of thinking that I could do without my crackberry, I turned back to T-Mobile, and they switched me out IMMEDIATELY to the Blackberry 9700 - their newest android entry.

    They are even expressing it for free. Now, if only my blackberry could sell our flower girl dresses! But then again - it IS a blackberry so I bet it can!
