T-Mobile takes entire 3G network to 7.2Mbps. Here's the story from Engadget
... T-Mobile USA took a nice little interim step today in announcing that its entire 3G footprint has now been upgraded from 3.6 to 7.2Mbps. Considering that AT&T won't be at 100 percent 7.2Mbps coverage for some time to come, this is a nice little boost -- of course ...
Good but still lacking
512MB for App Storage seems pretty bad.
Apple really needs to get on Verizon or it will loose a lot of people in the US.

I'm still wondering when people are going to begin understanding how apps are installed on Android.

Apple should be more careful when letting CEOs of other tech companies sit on their board, make contacts, garner strategy, and undercut you.

Yeah, I mean Apple doesn't do anything new to an already defined product. Just look at how long the iPod mini lasted. They just kept selling it for years until the Zune HD was finally released, forcing Apple to finally innovate and release the iPod Touch.
At least that is what some forum posters here seem to think.
Why you are correct sir! http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/verizon-getting-the-nexus-one-in-spring-2010/
Um, this just shot OHA in the butt.
You think Motorola is thrilled that undercut the Droid just weeks after its release. Let the infighting begin.
When going to Google Checkout it shows total cost as $529, with a link explaining export costs to the UK. So total is £331 + VAT (around £390) + possible duty of 6.5%. Not sure why they state that as possible, I'd have thought it highly likely. It seems that you can just click "buy it now" even for the UK, though I doubt it'll be arriving any day soon...
Unlocked doesn't mean much when it really still only works on T-Mo. Unless you're some masochist who enjoys AT&T's EDGE speeds.
Not even that psyched for the Verizon version, their smartphone plans are terribly priced and the phone becomes even less unlocked thanks to their network setup.

Given past experiences with Verizon, I'll be curious to see how much of this phone's functionality will be intact when used on their network.
Let's see
Google fails to address app storage issue with Droid and Android 2.0

And that's from an Android fan site.Actually T-Mobile uses a different frequency, so most GSM standard phones won't get 3g on T-Mobile.
Ummm, your explanation of why wouldn't Apple do a makeover of the iPhone isn't sound - their reputation is mature now. The majority of their best products get makeovers regardless of popularity, see: iPod (how many generations and "editions" now?), iMac (see iPod), PowerBook/MacBook (though not as much).
I agree. But if Apple keeps their "once a year" product cycle for the iPhone, Google stands a very good chance at closing the gap rapidly.
I'm curious to see how reliable the Verizon network really is once the majority of their customer base is using data hungry phones like the iPhone or the Nexus. I'm not a big AT&T fan, but I do understand that their network is suffering due in part to the majority of their customer base using the iPhone. The iPhone consumes more data than any other phone on the market, and no other network carries the burden having that phone has their biggest seller.
Verizon is an AWESOME service right now BECAUSE it doesn't have iPhone. I'm willing to bet that once the playing field is even, and a ton of people jump off the AT&T network and move to Verizon, you're going to see vast improvements on AT&T's end.
Before I make any switches, I'm gonna wait for the masses to jump ship first. I want to see if the Verizon network gets bogged down in a similar fashion. I'd love to see everyone migrate to Verizon because of how bad AT&T has been lately, and in turn free up the AT&T network completely. Everyone to Verizon!
