T-Mobile is the most UNcrippled carrier there is. WTF?
Anyway, I'm glad to see Nokia leading the 3G charge. Their contributions to T-Mobile's lineup have been hit or miss over the last few years and Samsung has pretty much taken over their midrange flip market (minus the MOTO garbage of course). Some diversity will be very welcomed, especially from Nokia.
T-Mobile does cripple their phones (try running Google maps on one of their newer phones, even with the correct settings), but it's nowhere near as bad as some carriers (like Verizon)... and it's easily fixed by flashing the phone. Fixing crippled CDMA phones is not so easy.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
