Auctually, they're getting ready to not only lite up 7.2, but 21meg in some places. If t-mobile has good coverage in your area, the speed/price combo is starting to look very very enticing.

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out

Speed is nice, but have you looked at their data coverage map lately? I do agree that it'll be awesome for the people in those coverage areas, but outside of that, not so much. If they had good 3g coverage I would literally consider paying an early termination fee to get this phone with them, but most of their area is edge

But if motorola is successful in getting a roaming agreement to go through with AT&T and T-Mobile, that could mean good things. Not only would there be an app for that, but there would also be a map for that!!

According to wideawake, Verizon is getting their version of this soon. He's waiting on more info from his data specialist

Banden, thanks for your input. Glad to see you posting here. Banden is a great friend of wideawake and I here in NC!

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out

I hope this phone does well, if for no other reason than just to help Android grow and attract even more developers. Roaming agreement typically just give edge data connection though, so you wouldnt gain much as far as data coverage goes. I think the actual phone is awesome, I would just rather have it on a CDMA network. I'm not too worried about it though, my next upgrade is still 11 months away and there will be a whole new world of phones available by then at the rate that new phones are being announced lol.

My wifes line will be ready for an upgrade in May, if this phone hits Verizon between now and then I forsee a Droid in her future (the Motorola one that I currently have to be more specific ) and I'll get this beast on Verizon. I just dont think I could deal with Tmobile or AT&T's lack of good data coverage though.

Banden is one of my favorite noobs , dont wanna imply that he's new to smart phones though, but he is fairly new to the forum

About T-Mobile, I wonder if they are putting up towers here near my house? I wish I knew.

a lot of speculations from all over

Quote:
There are many who believe the story that Verizon had first crack at the Apple iPhone, but turned down Steve Jobs because of all the things he was seeking. After the success of the iPhone, no one would expect the same thing to happen again. It would be just like the guy at Decca Records-**** Rowe-who turned down Beatles manager Brian Epstein in 1961, telling him that , "Really, Brian. Groups with two guitars are on the way out," being given the chance to sign the Stones and passing up on that, too. But alas, according to Peter Kafka writing in "All Things Digital", the reason why the Nexus One is a GSM model is because Verizon turned down Google and so far has refused to help them push the device. Perhaps Verizon is really, really believing its own PR about the DROID.

if they do, they'd be about a year behind seeing as how winmobile 7 comes out at the end of 2010.
