I'm getting a new phone through work... these are my ONLY two options:

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=HTC-Sensation-4G

Don't mind the QUERTY keyboard thing... Just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with either one... Both are free to me and again, I don't have a choice beyond either of them... and I have to get one of them.

What is going to happen to Tmobile? They going to merge with ATT or what? LTE? Wimax?

I'd say HTC since that's what I'm familiar with but I also know how mine sucks.

I find the battery issues odd. I have a droid tablet, and I can literally watch movies and surf the net with it all day, and still have juice left over to carry through my morning "de-sludging".

Then again, it's a Toshiba Thrive. It's as thick as three Ipads.

Tablets don't usually have radios and have room for huge batteries.

I'm not going to pretend to know what that means. I just know mine doesn't work more often than it works. And I prefer wi-fi whenever possible.

Your phone comes with something that connects to Sprint 4G. It was the 1st commercial something available. It sucks and is a battery hog. T-mobile doesn't use that something. They have a tried and true something that is better and consumes much less battery.

Hmm. Understood. F Sprint. And now that they are dumping their unlimited data (not that I use much) I'm done. They won't grandfather in existing customers either.

Are they stupid? Unlimited was the only thing keeping their ass afloat.

I think they are stupid. And you are correct. Because their coverage fucking SUCKS.

Looked it up, it's not on phones. It's on hotspots/netbooks/tablets and other card driven devices.

Phones are staying unlimited they are trying to free up network for them.

Hmm...well then the press release I read was poorly worded. And my reading comprehension might be suspect.
