T-Mobile is dropping the Android ball
Hey there T-Mobile! As a TMO customer for a few years now, I was super proud when TMO was the first carrier in the US to launch an Android handset. We were early adopters! Casadegeeks bought three of them and now all four of us have a G1. I think we’ve all reached that point now where the G1 is no longer fast enough. Time to upgrade… wait – where is the next generation of TMO’s Andoid handsets? Verizon has two awesome Android offerings now: Motorola Droid and HTC Incredible… Sprint just got the HTC Evo and even AT&T – exclusive iPhone carrier has some Android offerings. What do you have TMO? The original Android phone – G1, Motorola Cliq, HTC MyTouch – is that all? Even the upcoming HTC MyTouch2 (codename Espresso) is still lacking the new Snapdragon processor. My only real option for a next-gen Android phone on T-Mobile’s network is going to be the Nexus One. Why the complaining then, you ask. Who doesn’t want more choices?
It’s gotten so bad that people are resorting to starting rumors about T-Mobile getting the HTC Incredible – why? C’Mon T-Mobile! Bring it! You took a big step in bringing Android to the market, you should be the leading provider for the best, newest Android handsets! I want to be proud of Magenta again!
That said, unless there are more options soon on T-Mobile, I guess I’ll fork over my arm and leg to buy a Nexus One.
In the meantime, go watch some of these vids about the Nexus One:
Currently waiting for FedEx to deliver my new arrival. My phone died so I ordered an AT&T 3G Nexus One with the two currently available docks.
Yes, I really like the GPS dock for car use! I’m going to hold out a little longer before I buy a new phone.
