T-Mobile will definitely be releasing more G-series devices in 2009, almost certainly offering HSPA high-speed mobile internet access. That’s the not particularly surprising news from Neville Ray, senior vice president of engineering and operations at T-Mobile USA, who has confirmed that the carrier stands behind the Android-based smartphones in an interview with Fierce Wireless.
Ray also revealed that T-Mobile USA are looking to double their “3G reach” in 2009, referring to the amount of coverage the network offers. The device focus, however, will remain on handsets and consumer devices, rather than data cards, with Ray describing HSPA-enabled smartphones as satisfying a “sweet spot” for “compelling devices”.
“Our plan in 2009 is to double the number of covered POPs and top 208 million POPs. We expect to be in more than 300 cities by the end of 2009. That takes us to competitive parity in most areas of the country with Verizon and AT&T” Neville Ray
Unfortunately the interview did not press the engineer on specific details of upcoming Android-based devices, meaning that overall it’s slim-pickings if you’re looking for hot new information. Nonetheless, it seems to suggest that T-Mobile would be reluctant to pick up a handset such as the General Mobile DLST1, which in its current state lacks 3G support.

"T-Mobile are" should be "T-Mobile is." T-Mobile is singular. If you're in England, that's OK because they do it different over there. But this ain't England.

And the next person who uses irregardless gets an atomic wedgie.
(Just noticed the spell checker passes that word. What has the world come to)
This topic finally gets the attention it deserves.
*golf clap*
Subject-verb agreement, people.
Adding to the list: threads that ask if they'll "loose" their apps.
What's with people and subject/verb agreement? I see this more and more on the Net and it drives me nuts.

it's just that, since we're all communicating in writing here, it would sometimes be nice--for clarity and ease-of-reading if we could adhere to certain basic language standards. i was kind of half-kidding. not trying to be a grammar nazi, tempting though it is, sometimes. i'll try to confine my nitpicking to the off-topic area in future.
funny picture, danguyf!

C'mon, that's funny!
Ehh.
I have noticed T-Mobile being somewhat tight lipped about Androids future. I'd like to have some kind of confirmation that they intend to truly throw their full support behind the platform.
i don't know what to say about tmobile supporting the os. on one hand they were the first to put it out there, on the other no they haven't said much lately, but do they ever? i think they'll come along.
