T-Mobile deserves to be #1

flip mode

Time after time, T-Mobile has demonstrated that they have what it takes to shake the competition. With true 3G and excellent clear/static free calls and large coverage. Pay attention to that last part verizon...speaking as a former sub. I'm proud to say I have a kick azz rooted G1 and Android offers way more thrills right out of the box than Apple. Sure they lack some things that Apple can swing right now. I'm sorry...how long has Android been around and how popular is it now? Hmmmm 😉

p.s - who else offers great plans with everything for a low price...not sprint. I have 2 lines with unlimited everything and my bill is ALWAYS $151/month. minutes,data,texts etc

I concur, and they will be. That is why I think if apple was smart, they could make T-MO #1 easily with this. Verizon has been #1 for quite some time now and need's to give up thier crown. Your right about the prices, That is what would make them #1. It will be the fastest 3G network by the end of the year, so with all that being said... Best prices, Faster 3G service and the most popular phone is a trifecta that would soar T-MO to #1 easily!

Problem is... #1 prices on #4 sized network leads to #4 sized provider.

Verizon is alot of things... Expensive being one of them. Spends to have largest network being another.

I'll sell Verizon hand over fist compared to T-Mobile (and Sprint) for one reason: Alot of people live outside T-Mobile coverage. Even more travel enough that the spend too much time uncovered (any time really is too much).

I love T-Mobiles plans tho. More carriers need to charge less before/after your 2 year contract.

But positioned to take #1 any time soon they are definitely not...

Pretty sure T-MO backs up their claim to covering 97% of all Americans along w/ AT&T. Not sure thought? The Whole #1 thing reffers to the amount of subscribers, But in the most recent consumer reports T-Mobile was ranked 2nd overall to Verizon! How 'bout them apples!

T-Mobiles coverage map is a lot smaller last I knew...

I did a check of my surrounding area, and there are a lot of no-coverage areas for T-Mobile. There are almost none for AT&T (Delaware/Maryland area)

Zoomed out the differences aren't as noticeable... zoom in and it's night and day IMO. T-Mobile's coverage isn't bad, per-se... neither is it close to #1

True, but when outside of TMO market area, you will roam onto AT&T etal. Which sorta helps. How it works with data, I have no idea. but the call should go through.
