I'm going to say that since they started off by saying "We got a chance to test T-Mobile's blah blah" that this article is a shameless plug.

It's MSNBC after all, what do they know.

Lol who knows where they were testing these from, he did say side by side so location location location.

I have an Epic and my girlfriend has a G2. We have found places where her phone kicked my phones a$$ and vise verse. So it's true, location, location, location.

By the way, I've see 9Mb on the Epic, but fastest I've seen on her's is 7.5Mb.

Would you be able to post of pic of it so that I can see what to look out for? I'm curious as to what to what they look like.

I figured I'd test this out after watching that video. Possibly much faster than usual due to the fact it is 5:30AM. But I average anywhere from 3MB - 6MB.

Not to mention the douche that was in the video, dude looked like an advertisement for T-Mobile.

MSNBC has the credibility of... well, they're actually the benchmark in bias. Credibility is not something that organization likes to "burden" its reporters with.

He was indoors and we know how Sprint 4G works (or doesn't) indoors, especially when compared to LTE.

I would like to see a Galaxy S comparison across the line at several physical locations, both indoors and out. It would be a more fair comparison even though I would personally put T-MO at #1 again. I would also like to see some better handwriting.
