Nexus One Makes First Appearance at Retail Stores
Your Article is WRONG!
I Wireless has had the Nexus One at select retail locations since early April. As well, I Wireless doesn't sell T-Mobile, I Wireless is its own carrier separate from T-Mobile. They have a network partnership, and non-comp agreement with T-Mobile, much like MANY other local owned and operated T-Mobile affiliates in the US.
What is hilarious, it SAYS this at the bottom of the press release that is being quoted, and if you CHECKED their web site, as I did, it is easy to see this.
We are the tech media, and we don't care about doing our job.
According to i wireless, "Customers will be able to purchase Android devices, including models that are 3G capable, at over 250 retail locations or at the i wireless website beginning May 18, 2010." Nothing published by i wireless says that the Nexus One was available before that date.
This statement: "i wireless is a T-Mobile affiliate, and is offering the Nexus One for $300 after rebate with a new contract." is 100% accurate. The i wireless web sites says in big letters at the top "T-Mobile Affiliate."
Regardless of i wireless' relationship with Iowa Network Services and T-Mobile, nothing is inaccurate about our reporting.
Nothing in it says that they just started offering the Nexus One either. Also, your link to engadget's article, holds the claim that I Wireless sells T-Mobile plans, which is not true. Also, you said so yourself in your article, but have since edited it out to "look good".
Way to go phonescoop! you guys used to be better than that. Now you don't answer questions in the "discuss" tab of your in-depth articles, you don't fact check, and then edit articles, act like you did nothing wrong, and still GET IT WRONG even after editing.
They are separate companies. I Wireless doesn't sell or service T-Mobile customers, and vice versa. As well, where you find T-Mobile stores, you will not find I Wireless, and vice versa.
The articles acting...
