What do you mean "Who" has T-Mobile?



I have T-Mobile! I was thinking about it, mainly because of the android OS but I'll just get the HTC Touch HD, MUUUCH better phone IMO. Hopefully it comes to T-mobile, and I know that it prolly is not possible, hopefully its possible to install android on the Touch HD.

Meaning...I don't know anybody at all that has a T-Mobile.

All I hear about from anyone i know are Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T. I don't know if T-Mobile was the best choice for Google to go with if they're actually planning on making $$$...

Maybe it's just where I live.

Yea Im pretty sure its just where you live.

Here in the "urban" communuty a shitload of people have T-Mobile because they have SideKicks.

Yup, Sidekick is like the most popular phone where I live (NYC), now it's starting to be Blackberry Curve, im actually surprised that I see more Curves than iPhones.

 

heheh, the HTC Touch HD, I'm warning u, when u see this phone, don't blame me if the G1 looks subpar afterwards. People claim that this is the best "iPhone competitor" although IMO, it shits on the iPhone. Double the resolution, and a bigger screen, 2 things that made the iPhone so popular and such a "OMG" phone (besides the touch screen). The video was in french, but it just got translated so thats y it sounds kinda weird.

I found the lady translating funny, "lets compare  by screen size....3.2 inches....3.5 inches.... AAAAND 3.8 inches!!" LOL i lawled.

I *may* give this a look. The iPhone is too expensive for me, seeming I'd play with it tons but then get tired of paying the bill. I pay just $10 a month for cell phone service with a gob of minutes and just love my Touch. Depending on how much the plan is, I may bite.
