Who plans to go HD2?

[Dragon2]

I absolutely hate people saying tmobile sucks... Ill put my speeds up to any of yours and I bet I win or come close..... Look up Tmobile coverage map then put in 97024 for the zip code, you will see all 3g, everywhere near me..... I had sprint right before this and It also was fast but would switch to 1x quit alot every now and then, granted for like 1 min. vs 1 hour 3g... But I maybe go on Edge now with tmobile maybe like once every few days for like 20 sec..............

So, Tmobiles speeds dont suck, its that their coverage isnt as wide as the others, but where ya get good 3g, its definantly just as fast... I never leave my town and have driven 30 miles each way around me and still get great 4 bar 3g where as with sprint id get 2 bars 3g................... And if your experience with them was in the past like in 2003, shutup, its 7 years later lol........ It all depends on where ya live... sprint and verizon however do have coverage in more areas...... That doesnt make their speeds any better......

Now back on topic.. I said in earlier posts maybe I would switch to the LEO.... But I ask myself why???????? For what..... Whats the gb processor gonna do? Open the program 1 second faster or load the page faster? Other than that meh.... Do I really need a 4.3 inch screen? I mean 3 months ago everyone said 3.6 is too big, now its small??????

Oh and what 90 more ram? or is it rom??? wow, I never have a issue with Either???

wow a 5mp camera with a flash?? dude its a phone cam, look at the droids, it sucks......

capacitive screen???? wow, you really need to pinch zoom and maybe a little more sensitive to the touch????? wow, I still think id miss the stylus or it would be annoying if the screen didnt work with thin gloves on in the winter time......

Its upgradeable to winmo 7???? wow,, do you really think itll be out this year? I dont... And plus by then a tp3 will be out with the same specs or better with a keyboard.......

And lord Id miss my keyboard......

I ASK MYSELF, are these minor things, a tad faster cpu, slightly better cam, capacitive screen and 90 more ram or rom worth the 600 bucks and loosing a keyboard to only be running the same thing as we are now......

To me the jump from tp1 to 2 was worth it, the screen was too small on the tp1, it lagged alot, its keyboard was cramped and most of all the battery life sucked so bad it was like having to be hooked up to a resperator........ The tp2 works for me for now....... I love my tilt and keyboard.....

I agree with you on all this. I have never had any problems, but that's probably because I'm not talking on my phone like a yenta 20 hours a day.

The thing I find most funny is in probably a couple of months, at&t won't be able to claim the nations fastest 3G network. It will be T-Mobile "Get more SPEED" lol

Lets review, by the end of the year:

1. At&t won't be the nations fastest 3G Network
2. At&t won't have iPhone exclusivitly
3. At&t still will be having bandwidth issues
4. At&t will have the least amount of 3G coverage of major carriers

At&t is going bleed customers faster than sprint did!

This is what I'm hoping for. AT&T still gets the best phones, and they have good coverage where I need it. If they start bleeding customers and are forced to drastically lower their prices, sign me up.

T-Mobile still has low prices though and will have the best 3G by the end of 2010 (as you said) so they are certainly a major consideration if they get some good phones.

And improve their coverage...

They are already improving their coverage more aggressively than any other carrier. I don't think Sprint is any better than T-Mobile in that regard these days. Most of the people saying T-Mobile has coverage issues are talking about experiences from years ago.

Actually im talking firsthand in experience from THIS year... earlier this year I was with T-mobile and I live dead smack in the middle of the Atlanta metro area. I couldnt get any reception in my house period... had to sit my phone by the window just to get a bar and even then randomly my voicemail thing would go off and I would have 5 voicemails and the phone never rung.

I switched to Sprint and I get 4 bars in my house..plus the data speed is way better.

The funny thing is that while T-Mobile will be busy working at the best 3G by end of 2010 both Sprint and Verizon will have been busy building out their 4G networks. A day late and a dollar short I'm afraid.

T-Mobile's scheduled to release their 3G+ within the next couple months, which is said to rival 4G networks. Sprint's 4G is out with no phones to support it until mid-summer 2010. And full 4G roll-out for Sprint and Verizon not expected for a few years (2013-2014).

That doesn't sound too late to me.

Plus, T-Mobile might just buy out Sprint, which throws the whole thing overboard.

Nothing more than a rumor that will never happen. Ask Sprint how purchasing a different network type other than yours works out when they purchased IDEN. If T-mobile made that move after seeing how much of a fail that was then they are idiots. Maintaining a GSM and CDMA on the same network... not smart. If you notice with other mergers (AT&T/Cingular, Verizon/Alltel) they were both running the same type network.
