T-Mobile Phones....

Umm, t mobile didn't pioneer anything android... htc/google did... tmobile just offered to sell them...

Tapatalk. Samsung Moment. Yep.

 

He meant exactly that.

It is unusual that the first mobile network to offer Android phones now is essentially #4 behind... I'd say Verizon #1, Sprint #2 (only because of EVO), and AT&T #3. Although... I think T-Mobile and AT&T are at the same level.

 

Id put sprint and vzw at the same level of android offerings... sprint with a very small edge due to 4g.

Well, T-Mobile also has the Nexus One. That is Google's bread and butter. I mean, my friend with it already has Froyo.

I think it is market share, coverage, and features (of the carriers) mostly. For example who has the most subscribers and largest 3G network? VZW. Who is offering 4G and can roam on VZW's network? Sprint. Who is offering 3.5G that runs as fast as 4G, has a smaller market share, and not as much 3G coverage? T-Mobile.

Google is very smart with putting out superphones on VZW and Sprint. But still, T-Mobile has the Nexus One (which is a superphone).

Also, the Motorola Droid is not running at 800 MHz unless you overclock it. In addition, VZW is getting the LG Ally which has a 600 MHz processor. Not everyone needs a superphone. I think having more middling options is better for the casual users.

 

Totally theoretical: Nexus One vs. Droid Incredible vs. Sprint EVO 4G vs. iPhone HD/4G | SoyaCincau

Specwise, the Nexus One and Incredible are pretty similar. Google is closing their online store and is going to allow the Nexus to be sold by third party retailers. 179.99 for a Nexus vs 199.99 for an Incredible? Not bad if you ask me. While I agree that T-Mobile would benefit from having a new flagship Android phone, the Nexus One is not a bad one to have. Especially when you think about the fact that most Americans prefer to buy their phones subsidized. Who is the only one to offer the Nexus One subsidized? T-Mobile.

You bring up the Droid, from all the tests I have seen, the Nexus destroys the Droid in almost every way.

 

No, no. Not the Super Phone, but it is a superphone. Two different things, now that I know what you mean, I still stand by what i said in the previous post:

I consider the Nexus One to be T-Mobile's phone because it is subsidized ONLY on T-Mobile.

Also, how is the Incredible a better phone specwise? The 8GB of memory onboard that cannot be used for apps until 2.2?

 

I suppose, but the noisecanceling on the Nexus One is awesome. And is something the Incredible doesn't have. We will just agree to disagree then. All I know is I would love a Nexus One, but T-Mobile's service here sucks.

 

Or not, I do not want to pay full price for a phone. Plus AT&T's service is even worse

 

To the people saying AT&T has better android offerings then T-Mobile you are flat out wrong. The backflip is a joke, blocked out, and not truley android because its a closed system. Just had to make that one comment.
IMHO android offerings avoiding network goes Sprint (because of Evo)>Verizon>T-Mobile>Cricket (Rooted Phones on it lawl)> AT&T

 

What I am saying with it closed is that you are not allowed to install nonmarketplace apps on it without rooting, and that it is marketed as below the iphone, where as other carriers market them fairly.

 

That option is not there on the Backflip. It was blocked by ATT because they do not want the phone to be able to do things the iPhone cannot, I believe. Here is a link incase you don't believe me.
Motorola Backflip on AT&T: not full Android experience - Android, android apps, Google Android, mobile phones - Techworld

Also, the ditching of google search and apps for Yahoo on a google operating system just irks be. Thus, for these reasons I believe that now ATT is by far the worst carrier to offer android phones. Not TMobile.

 

I compleatly agree with this. Without a true android phone on AT&T I don't think that T-Mobile is worse. T-Mobile will eventully bounce back is my thought. You can also get unlocked phones if you really wanted one and import it in. VZW and Sprint are pretty much on par in my opinion too thanks to 4G coming to sprint in about a month.
