For most of the history of mobile phones, the ability to carry on a conversation was the deciding factor in a new purchase. But the explosion of smart phones in the last five years has pushed talking to the background, with features like apps, photo sharing and even texting stealing the spotlight.With a nationwide network and fast data speeds, T-Mobile is an excellent choice in mobile service with prices that range from free to hundreds of dollars for a new phone on contract. Its range of smartphones includes the latest in mobile high definition cameras, touch screen wizardry and media consumption options. However, T-Mobile also offers feature phones that just talk and text for those who just want the basics and aren't looking for a device smarter than their last computer.
Best T-Mobile Smartphone:
Today's most lust-worthy devices are smartphones. In a recent study, teens and college-aged kids placed a smartphone as more desirable than a car, and being able to use the mobile device of one's choice at work ranked high as a plus for employment. Wars are waged online as whose platform is best, whether its Apple's iOS, Google's Android or Research in Motion's Blackberry. T-Mobile offers a competitive portfolio of smartphones, including many Android devices as well as Blackberry and the latest entrant to the modern connected smart device gold rush, Microsoft. Noticeably absent, though, is Apple's iPhone, which curiously is available on all the other major cell carriers. However, if there's no Apple in your eye, these five T-Mobile's offerings should more than satisfy your need for the best.
