Re: Blackberry can use the competition for multi-carrier phones The issue with a 5 Band chip is as of yet the FCC will not allow a phone to run a quad chip on all the 3G Bands here in the US. It is unlikely they will allow LTE to do the same if that is how the technology works. But who knows maybe they will.
As for the Nexus One, it is a nice phone however, a few draw backs with T-Mo that I expect with all carriers
1. Available via Google only currently(rumored to be at Walmart)
2. Not available to Family Plans without customer service roulette.
3. The insurance handset that is available will require a deductible every time.
I planned on jumping ship to T-Mo until I found this out. Now I have a Droid coming tomorrow and will remain on Verizon. Because my Company gets 20% off of Data and Minutes my rate plan is cheaper than T-Mo. |
