Update: Some of you have noted that the 3G/4G moniker refers only to the generation of the phone as manufactured by Apple. We could argue that is incorrect as the first model was the iPhone 2G, the second model was the 3G, the third model was the 3GS etc. I think it could be argued that Apple chose a naming convention based on the speed of the hardware,… Read more

    What are you and your conniving boyfriend smoking?  50mbps on a skyrocket?!  You either have the best phone in the US or smoking/popping some of the best stuff in the US.  AT&T can only advertise “10X faster than 3G” on their commercials because they can’t beat anyone else.

    The bottom line is Verizon has a core customer base that they target. Not everyone can afford Verizon…at the same time T Mobile needs to revamp there handset choices to help even the playing field. Also, T Mobile has a great network if you live in a supported area…At the same time No carrier has it all….they’re all making a logic money off our greedy desire to communicate and own cool electronics…

    Why in god’s name are you still on TMONews then, exactly? For me and all my coworkers T-Mobile signal is just fine. Enjoy your AT&T LTE which already under-performs in speedtests without even a decent user load lololol

    While the Radar may not perform as well in certain tasks (data crunching, GPU-intensive tasks), the actual *usage* and fluidity of the phone, which most customers are primarily concerned with, does in fact rival that of the Amaze and S2. Also, all caps makes you sound like you’re yelling at me and that makes me sad :(

    This is for the Blaze, they list the only three handsets that are theoretically capable of speeds up to 42Mbps.

    You sure about that? Because the first iPhone was the 2G, the second was a 3G, clearly names based on speed, not generation. This document alleges that Apple chose naming conventions based on generation, when in fact they did no such thing.
