- No, haven't even got a N97 for me yet. Maybe December... Gave him a 3600 Slide I won in a Nokia contest for journalists

- Good to hear from you Meraj. I'm willing to bet it wasn't a Nokia N97 that you gave to your father?

Mr Operator on T-Mobile/Android — A flaiming pile of mediocrity

Started by Ewan · 9 months ago

I just got this missive from our very own friendly industry giant, Mr Operator.
He’s been glued to the Android coverage and isn’t entirely impressed.
Here we go:

Having watched the launch video, first impression (apart from that T-Mobile ... Continue reading »

I'm guessing Mr Operator doesn't work for T-Mobile

It does all sound a bit flat. I mean, for those of us who like to play with mobile toys it's another interesting option. For my wife (and other normobs) however, nothing enticing. Can't imagine the other half saying "Do you think I want a G1?" in the same way she said it about the Jesus Phone last week...

I like the comment of "Poor Man's iPhone". And that it is. Coming it at $50 a month under what ATT is charging for the monthly package...ie-$600 less per year, or $1,200 less over a two year contract. In addition, $20 less for the phone.

Look folks, times are tough here in the states. People want a phone like the iPhone, but $1,200 bucks is $1,200 bucks.

Definitely a first generation phone, with limitations like the 1gb download per month max at 3g and much less data storage, but that is what "Poor Man's iPhone" is all about, isn't it? This is TMobile's client base. I think they did exactly what their customers would want...based on their demographic pull.
