Re: Tmobile HTC HD2 hands-on

The HD2 is no doubt a nice phone but im just glad I got flex pay with t-mobile rather than a contract.. because there is no way on earth I could see myself dealing with this for 2 years.

And I wouldnt even gripe if I was in the country, but I live dead center of one of the biggest metro areas in the country. In all honesty, I can sit my nexus on the desk right beside my hero... the hero will have 4 bars and the nexus will have no service. Its not the phone either... same thing applied when I put the tmo sim in my unlocked 3gs. If I had never been introduced to android the hd2 would probably have been my next phone though.. but.. ya know.

well telling me this applied to you on your 3GS doesn't apply because Iphones don't get T-Mobile HSPA bands anyways, only Edge.

On your other point I can see that, but keep in mind that they are building more towers, have signed on with LTE to roll out HSPA+ and in some areas get awesome coverage.

In Houston I get T-mobile coverage EVERWHERE. I have yet to have lower than 4 bars and I am all over the city. I get awesome coverage. But I see your point. I would never sign on contract with T-Mobile because they rape you with an extra $20, plus I hate contracts.
