Today T-Mobile finally and officially announced that they will begin selling the iPhone 5 in April. After all these years of being a loyal T-Mobile customer and bating my time for them to at last join the other major carriers, my wish will finally be coming true.
As much coverage as the larger carriers? No, not yet. But decent coverage. And no contract with monthly payments for basically an unlocked phone with a very simple and straightforward pricing plan makes this a no-brainer for me, especially since both Apple and T-Mobile already have all my contacts’ information and I won’t have to suffer through inputting everything again. And like AT&T, but not available for either Verizon or Sprint, the phone will have two antennas, so I will be able to access data and voice at the same time.
This may finally be the first year I will be able to do real-time check-ins and posts while physically elsewhere, such as at Comic Con.
Now comes the decision as to whether I should wait for the strongly rumored iPhone 5s to be announced.
