The forthcoming HTC One X+ is going to be huge for T-Mobile. The NVIDIA Tegra 3 is insane. Quad-Core 1.7 Ghz CPU with 12-Core GPU 
Will be interesting to see how much battery they can squeeze into that beast.

Knowing HTC they will find a way to make sure the battery life is lacking... they always do
They should've done this a long time ago. They REALLY should've done this when they were the LAST major carrier to not have the iPhone. No idea why they thought the could sit on their laurels (without the iPhone) and be competitive.
For the sake of competition in a free market, I hope they succeed. Time will tell.

The price is one of the most interesting factors to watch out for. I wonder if they can/will price the 2012 Nexus close to the current Nexus. If they could sell it through the Play store, unlocked, for anywhere close to $399, I think it would be incredible. Doubt it though.
Traditionally, Nexus devices sell at $530 or so.
Yeah, I think when they originally sold the nexus through the googleplay store it was $750 if not $799. Then when they were able to sell them again they came out at the $350 price and have been selling like hotcakes. It is by far the best iphone alternative.
I don't ever remember any Nexus device selling for $750-799. I could be wrong?
I think the Nexus One and the Nexus S both debuted at $529. And I think the Galaxy Nexus was $599? Or a little higher because it had to be imported if you wanted the GSM one. Not positive. I don't think it was ever that high, unless a third party site marked it up.
I am too stubbon to ever go back to TMO. Even if they had great 4G coverage in my area and offered me an unlimited everything plan for the iPhone for the same price I pay now, I couldn't do it. I just can't bring myself to let them have my money again.
It isn't, I'm in South Florida and I know it isn't. I'm tracking the refarming for TmoNews.com and I know there isn't a single market that is 100% live right now.
Maybe its a good thing T-Mobile's network doesn't currently support a 3G iPhone. Maybe that's why their network is so nice. iphones just bog it down. The next iPhone could very well support T-Mobile, but T-Mobile would have to pay Apple a lot of money to carry a subsidized version. They won't. T-Mobile has survived all this time without the iPhone and they will continue to do so.
Sprints WiMAX and LTE speeds are decent. Archaic Apple is the problem by not supporting either.
Oh yahh... 3G FTW....
Indeed. That will be a really awesome handset when it is released. It is exciting to see a cell phone finally have more raw power than even recent computers.The forthcoming HTC One X+ is going to be huge for T-Mobile. The NVIDIA Tegra 3 is insane. Quad-Core 1.7 Ghz CPU with 12-Core GPU
I am glad T hasn't gotten the iPhone.. Look at what happened to Sprint. All the iPhone did was put them further in debt, and less able to build out their new 4G networks. Apples fees are too much, and frankly, T-mobile will also slide further down if they sign any handset contracts with the devil. T already has millions of unlocked iPhone customers on the network, which they didn't initially have to pay for through any subsidies, so ultimately leaving it like that is probably the best route.
Why? What was the problem.
It still pisses me off that they give CRICKET an iPhone but not T-Mobile. Cricket really is the lowest of the low when it comes to carriers.
Why? At least cricket is actually trying. For example, Cricket is starting to install LTE capable towers, and not just lying to the consmer and renaming old 3G HSDPA+ "4G"...
T-Mobile isn't? They were strapped for spectrum until this whole AT&T mess happened.
AT&T tried that same crap with HSPA+
CDMA EvDO was not even supposed to be labeled as 3G, rather just Ev!
So this whole mess is just because Apple has something against T-Mobile. Cricket's network is worse than Sprint's when it comes to speed. Also add in to the fact that prior to the iPhone, they had NO high profile phone at all. No GSIII, no HTC phones at all.
I was with T-Mobile for years and loved them. Their signal was great, their customer service was spectacular, and they always gave me upgrade prices on phones. Then the iPhone came out and I had no choice but to go to AT&T.
I still have my unlimited data plan, but if the next iPhone is officially on T-Mobile, I'm switching that day, selling my AT&T phone to pay for the ETF and enjoying unlimited unthrottled data and not looking back, unless the T-Mobile girl is behind me.

I spent 30 minutes chatting online with a t-mobile customer service rep yesterday to see if I would be able to get 3G on my unlocked iphone in Indianapolis, IN. The person told me I was good to go so I went to a t-mobile store and popped a sim into my iphone. Edge only. Got me excited for nothing.
I was with TMO for seven years, I always payed my bill on time. I used an upgrade to buy a new phone that the sales rep talked me in to. I actually really liked the phone but it had a defect with the charging port. This was a model defect, not a one off issue. They insisted on replacing the phone with the same exact model, all of which had the same defect. This is TMO insisting, and I had insurance through them as well. I asked them if I could just get a different phone and they said it is policy to replace with the same model- which is probably not even true in this case. After the third replacement inevitably stopped working (it only took a matter of two weeks) they told me I would have to purchase a new phone at full price because I've used up all my replacements, apparently they give you three and that's it. Keep in mind I am not rough with my phones. I've been using an iPhone 4 and 4S for the past two years and I've never broken anything or cracked the screen, etc. I got into it over the phone with TMO several times, I felt that since they acknowledged that model of phone had a serious defect it was not fair to make me pay for a new phone at full price. I essentially used my upgrade just to get in to this mess. They wouldn't do anything for me, refused to cut me a break on a new phone or with the ETF.
So after that, I'm out for good. They could give me a free iPhone with unlimited everything for $50 a month and I'd still go elsewhere. ATT sucks, but they have never pulled a stunt like that on me. TMO just isn't gonne get another dime from me, plain and simple. So for now I'll stay with ATT and see how the service is around my area when I get a 4G iPhone.
Now if only I could convince the girlfriend to ditch them I'd be truly happy haha
Damn, that sucks.
So all 3 phones had the same charging issue?
What model phone was it?
Sounds like a failed cellphone that should be recalled by the manufacturer.
