T-Mobile is an excellent option if you are looking for an Android phone. With competitive plans, high speed connectivity, and their great selection of Android devices (currently supporting thirteen Android phones), you cannot go wrong with T-Mobile.
T-Mobile is the third largest service provider and was recently purchased by AT&T for $39 Billion. The provider will most likely keep its identity as T-Mobile while benefiting from economies of scale from this union, providing you even better coverage at lower rates including international calling due to T-Mobile's affiliations abroad. T-Mobile has the quickest 4G network in the United States with average download speeds of 2.3 Mbps. To take advantage of these high speeds, you need to be using either the myTouch or the G2 phones. In addition to great connectivity speeds T-Mobile boasts the lowest rates out of the top providers with their unlimited talk, text, and data packages at $80 per month. To give you an idea of current rates; for unlimited everything on Sprint and Verizon, you will pay $110 and $120 respectively. For an extra $10 per month you can turn your myTouch cell phone into a mobile hotspot and connect up to five other devices to the internet. This feature is quick and easy to set up and is excellent if you are traveling with your laptop.
Out of the T-Mobile Androids, the myTouch 4G is the pick of the phones.
Its stand out features include:
Rapid 1 GHz processor chip allowing quick internal use of the phone, even when there are a number of apps running at once.
3.8 inch display giving you a high quality touch screen experience
front facing VGA camera allowing video calling
HTC Sense user interface in conjunction with Android 2.2 (Froyo) will give you a user friendly and intuitive interface to work with.
Mobile hotspot capabilities
Well design metal casing mixed with ceramic plastic bezel, giving the phone a premier feel.
A good alternative to the myTouch 4G and until recently was the number one choice out of the T-Mobile Androids, is the G2. Things that you might prefer from the G2 over the myTouch is the physical keyboard. It is still arguably quicker and more practical to type on a physical keyboard. If you are going to spend a large amount of time emailing and texting this might be the option to take. Another feature you might prefer is the Vanilla Android user interface of the G2 running on the Android 2.2 operating system. Another good option is the HTC HD7. It is running a 1 GHz processor so it's quick to run applications, with little or no lag time experiences. The user interface has got a lot of positive feedback, as well as the web browsing functionality. However, the HD7 did not get the upgrade to 4G connectivity; as a result the connectivity is not as good as the G2 and myTouch. In addition, battery life on this phone is fairly poor. If you are looking for a light and slim phone that still has impressive specs, the Samsung Vibrant is a good option.
