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

    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...

    Can't help but agree... shame really - specially being such as massive Google fan as I am.

    yep its a damp start - but its just a start. I'm mightly pissed off at the operator lock in. HELLO its open systems - with sim lock! the us is getting a really bad deal too. $25 - $35 for web and walk!!! and paying $199.

    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.
