Where's the new phones T-Mobile?

Is it me or does T-Mobile not have any phones worth wild coming out in the first 2 quarters of 2012? Ive noticed that other carriers have some sort or road map for the first half of the year but nothing from T-Mobile but mid level phones.

I think when they thought at&t would buy them they didn't order any highend stuff thinking they would get access to the att phones at least that's what the T-Mobile store told me

I just wish Sony Ericsson would make phones with frequency that we could use Tmobile 3G. I love their phones.

Tmobile has never been great with updating there phone line through the entire year. This year the only notable phones that came out in those two quarters were the g2x and the galaxy s 4g. It seems they always come around the end of the year for there serious upgrades like last year with the mytouch 4g and the g2 and this year with the Amaze and the galaxy s 2. Now don't think they won't have anything for the first two quarters. They could announce something and release it in a month like they do with most of there big name devices

Unfortunately, this is most likely the closest thing to the truth. It is likely that T-Mobile USA was focusing on their acquisition by AT&T rather than bidding for manufacturers to design phones for them, and now they're a bit behind on the process.

Again, look at there track record. They do the same thing every year. Just cause the story could fit doesn't mean it's the truth. With no facts backing up your theory it's just convoluted gibberish

They need to show me something to inspire me to renew my contract or I'm leaving in June. Possibly Spint

They definitely do not need any new phones at this moment EXCEPT for a Galaxy Nexus.
The most recent launch was the amaze and the GS2, which was only in November. The last thing we need is for Tmobile to inundate us with in-between phones that garner little support from Tmobile in terms of updates. Just look at verizon and their monthly droid releases and how it affects the update situation. Motorola sure as hell doesn't have the 5-month old photon at the top of their ICS priority list.
And with little support from Tmo/manufacturer comes little support from the dev community. They just have very little to work with. There will be fewer devs per device AND fewer users per devices. It's just not worth it.
We don't need any more photon-like phones. We need solid yearly or bi-yearly releases like the GS2 or the Nexus line of phones.

Tmobile is a large corporation, I highly doubt that they would have one department twiddling their thumbs while those responsible for the acquisition details are waiting on approval.

Good luck with Spint. I live near their world headquarters and could not get a damn signal. Not to mention the billing arguments month after month when they over charged me. Spint has major issues. My fear is they will now make a move for T-Mobile. I will switch to Verizon if it happens.
To the OP...The white Galaxy SII is a ground breaking piece of technology!

I live near Sprint headquarters too and know some employees - or I should say some of their many laid-off employees. Got some scary stories about Sprint. They've been a bad joke for years.

I worked at tmobile for a few months and I can tell you that everybody has been laid off by every phone company. It's the business. Once a project ends everybody is let go and your off for 8 months trying to find the next project. I met people who worked for Sprint, Motorola, att and everything. The office I worked in was 90% out of towners. If you are not a nomad you shouldn't be in this field.

Yeah, they pretty much wait till almost every carrier brings out all the good phones before they decide to bring out theirs. Personally I'm really happy with my SGS2 and will probably wait for the SGS3. Spec wise I don't thing there will be anything all that much better to upgrade to.
G2X is also a great device, but had to switch phones because Nvidia will never release source and without it there is not much people can do with it.
Powered by the SGSII....

Well my girlfriend has sprint and has the same plan I have for about 20 buck's more. She gets service when I don't and always has service. When she has had to replace her phone she has been able to go into the store to exchange it for a new one. Ive been with tmo since the sidekick 2 and up until last September once I got the Vibrant and they turned around and released the 4g version with a front facing camera. Every since then its been a love hate thing with them. From the GSII having to processors changed to them delaying the updates on the vibrant.

If they bring the IPhone to T-Mobile, that would help with more customers and bringing in more money to build out the network. This is my personal opinion though.

The iphone users would crush the Tmobile network as it stands. The little money they'd get for subsidizing the iphone will go to repairing or returning its network to a pre-iphone state, not really an improvement.
Sprint was lucky to have met its deadline of improving its network a week or two after the iphone 4s launch, its network was in the ****ter until that point.

[Q] Is there a s4 (one xl) version released/ing?

Is there a s4 version released/releasing that is equivalent to what at&t is getting? basically i can afford to buy one outright and don't want to wait until at&t let us have it. has anyone heard?
p.s. and i mean one that still uses lte, ect. no downsides.

I believe sprint's evo one is the one your asking about

There is supposed to an International release of the One XL for the Hong Kong and a few other markets. Not sure if the relese date will be prior to AT&T.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

I have a buddy who was suppose to get the AT&T XL already. It was scheduled to ship last week but has not yet.
I hope it's not a sign of delays...

ATT release date
I stopped by the ATT store Yesterday and they told me they didn't know when they were getting the phone. They did say it would not be out before the 8th of April.

ok, so now there is news that rogers is bringing the phone in coming weeks. two questions though:
will it connect to all of at&ts radio bands?
if i buyout the phone, will it be unlocked?
also, probably a mistake, but the informing page says rogers is 32gb. i know the u.s. has 16, what is the chances that stat is not a mistake?

AT&T Black LG G2 sold out everywhere? (USA)

Edit: Title should've said "Black LG G2 sold out in all AT&T online and local stores everywhere in the USA"
I'm trying to get a black AT&T LG G2, but it seems sold out everywhere. This includes online and local stores.
I need to purchase from AT&T only because of our business account.
What's going on here? I hope LG didn't stop production.

Really. ..where you from

Lol... LG stopped production on their flagship device? No. A lot of cell companies are out of the G2 bc of holiday sales. I had to track down a white one for Verizon and it took awhile. Best bet is to either order it online from AT&T or Amazon. Store restocks can take a while.

He said its for work. So has to be a corporate store. I have a Verizon G2 for work and only a corporate store can upgrade a line on a corporate account.
Perhaps call and order over the phone. They should be able to activate the sim and ship you a new phone next day.

Yeah the phone in black is readily available on Verizon's site. Have it shipped to the store and activated if they won't do it over the phone.
My last work upgrade on the corporate account went through just fine over the phone. So idk if I'm just lucky or what.

i know he needs it for work, but perhaps this might work.
Get to the verizon website by going through ebates, and you can get $160 in rebates on a new activation.
Ebates is a referal site that has no hooks or gimmicks. THey just want you to shop online by clicking on their site first. THe money is sent to you via check or paypal. And it works.
Use this link
http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=ZQQOxOWLyiswubRX0c1paA==
Create your account
Search for verizon wireless, and it will open a new window to it. THen shop around and get $160 back.
Simple. No gimmicks, no tricks.

It's finally in stock on AT&T's website. I placed an order and should arrive sometime next week.
I still find it weird that it was sold out online and in all AT&T stores. I tried placing an order over the phone too and got the same out of stock. The AT&T rep even tried calling local stores in my area and was also told out of stock.

Well now, can't understand why folks want to violate XDA rules.
More specifically.... the "Profanity" rule. Any explanation?
Please feel free to PM me, and explain why one needs to confuse XDA with a social network site, and argue "freedom of speech" (it don't exist here, as XDA is a Developers site)
Next profanity, and it won't be a pretty outcome.
Keep it clean please.

In in NorCal and I've yet to see anyone with the G2...really surprised the local AT&T stores were sold out. Maybe there was a promotion going on for the holiday season. Anyways, hope you enjoy the G2 as much as I do. Superb battery life! Got over 5 hours of screen time use lately..LOVING it!

I'm in the market for a G2 now, and it seems the same thing is happening. AT&T's site says it's sold out. I called my local store (York, PA) and they say it's not marked as end of life, but they told me no other local stores have them in stock either. Could it now be because of the Flex?

Could be just catching people's attention maybe? Just picked one up, and let's just say my HTC One is getting a bit jealous, lol. I never even heard of this phone until a couple of weeks ago.

I ordered the white one on the att site on the 30th, during the one day it's been in stock. Now it's back ordered. Hope it doesn't take forever.

I hope it gets there for you quickly. I want the white as well, but both colors are out no matter what store I call. Something is definitely up.

Hello mate,
Try Carphonewarehouse, I checked their websites today and they are offering white Z3 to preorder...

Ah great. That wasn't the case this morning when I checked. Just the black and copper was available.

Is there any way to buy the white z3 off contract from carphonewarehouse? I just checked the site and they seem to be only offering contracts.
Since I live in Canada and want the white Z3 I don't see any other options.

The demand is there but with Sony, where are the products? They want to be make a name on phones but logistics and marketing is just so bad right now. I ended up getting the Z3 compact version instead from Clove and Handtec in UK. I also am from North America. I bought several units for my family.
Once the phone is available at T-Mobile USA, they will wonder why no one is buying these Sony phones. LOL! Because they already bought it!

unfortunately not. some good news though, there's a rumor that the z3 and z3 compact are scheduled for release in Canada early next month.

Z3 and Z3 Compact On AT&T

Had anyone found a retailer that sells either version the z3 for AT&T on contract or Next? I'm on Verizon and today they lost my business permanently. I want this phone but T-Mobile is no good in my area. I need to change to AT&T but I didn't realize they don't sell it. I need to buy one for me and another for my wife so buying them outright is really not an option. Thanks!

Sony Store appears to offer financing. I bought outright and use on AT&T (wife and myself) and its great. Also paying about $50 less per month because of it. So you could probably finance it out and pay about the same.

Expansys-usa is where I bought mine. Anyone who walks into a phone store and buys a smartphone is stupid (imho). Unless of course it's the cheapest one they sell.
As long as you're the account holder just call them and have them send you a nano sim card. Once you get it call back and activate it.
