I'm more or less pissed that I have to get rid of my G2 because of this. I fucking love this thing.
[QUOTE=YouWithTheFace.;31115658]heard you will have to replace any 3g capable t mobile phone when the merge is finalized since its a different signal from at&t's..
that sucks[/QUOTE]
Even unlocked phones?
I might hold onto my Nexus One long enough for that then, even though I don't even have a 3g plan.

I'll take whatever the most expensive Android phone AT&T has thank you.
And then unlock it and get the cheapest plan they have.
[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;31148549]I have sprint, Its p. good. Unlimited 4g data, Texts, Calls, only $30.[/QUOTE]
If Sprint had a better network/signal in my area, I'd switch to it in a heartbeat.
Looks like i'll be staying on my Unlimited plan until the contract runs out at Verizon.
The people on wall street who speculated that T-Mobile's parent company would merge with sprint are retards. Sprint runs CDMA networks and T-Mobile runs GSM. They are nowhere near compatible with each other, and would require a [i]major[/i] restructuring of either T-Mobile's network and devices, or Sprint's.
As far as the merger, I sell cellphones for AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint. As a dealer, I'm upset about this because we're losing a third of our business. As a consumer of T-Mobile, all I have to say is AT&T damn well better grandfather T-Mobile's data plan. I'll be fucked if I'm going to pay AT&T for overages when T-Mobile only throttles.

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;31126792]What's so bad about CDMA compared to GSM?[/QUOTE]
CDMA is a more limited network. It doesn't allow multi-tasking in terms of Data usage and Minute usage at the same time, and it's a minority network. Most of Europe, Asia, and Oceania use GSM networks. So CDMA networked phones wouldn't work overseas.
AT&T please die

GSM is also unlockable. Meaning you can get a phone from AT&T and switch to T-Mobile and use the same phone.
It's technically possible to do on CDMA, but there isn't a SIM card and the carriers will either refuse to unlock the phone or allow an unlocked phone on their network.
