T-Mobile
As I stated in the opening of this article, I am a long time T-Mobile customer and even with their uncertain future (due to the AT&T acquisition) I still buy smartphones from them and use them on the network. My personal favorite is the HTC HD7 that I have hacked with a 32GB microSD card and latest RTM version of Mango, but I don’t recommend you do this if you want a phone under warranty.T-Mobile has always been a leader in carrying Android devices, they were first with the T-Mobile G1, and my three picks for them are all Android devices. The new Bold 9930 is also coming soon to T-Mobile and is a device to consider too.
The Sensation 4G is my favorite Android device on T-Mobile and if I wasn’t such a huge WP7 fan I would have bought one for myself when it was released. I like the HTC Sense experience and it works very well with Android on the HTC Sensation 4G. The form factor and design is beautiful with a 4.3 inch qHD high resolution display, 1.2 GHz dual core Snapdragon processor, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), and more. You get support for T-Mobile’s 14.4 Mbps HSPA+ network that I find consistently just behind the speeds of LTE on Verizon.
The HTC Sensation 4G feel great in your hand and is a wonderful Android smartphone that has a very high rating with customers.
Price: $199.99 with 2-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate.
I really enjoyed using the LG G2x and found the hardware design compelling with the glass display that wraps a bit around the sides. It is powered by a NVIDIA Tegra 2 1 GHz processor and Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The display looks great at 4 inches with 800×480 pixels resolution. 8 GB of memory is integrated with a microSD card slot for up to 32GB more. It has a good 8 megapixel camera and a front facing camera too.
I didn’t experience the greatest RF reception for the G2x, which is why my personal choice would be the Sensation 4G. The hardware really is fantastic here and many people also like the vanilla Android experience that this offers.
Price: $149.99 with 2-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate.
The myTouch line was always a bit lower in quality than the high end Android line, but HTC and T-Mobile have worked to make it a high end alternative. I was impressed with the myTouch 4G Slide, especially with the camera performance that is a focus of the device. You will find an 8 megapixel camera with powerful software and a wide aperture lens so that the camera taking experience is one of the best I have ever seen on a mobile phone.
The myTouch 4G Slide also has great specs with a 1.2 GHz dual core processor, HSPA+ support, Genius button and powerful voice to text software, full QWERTY keyboard that slides out from under the display, and much more. This is also a WiFi Calling supported device so you can make calls over a WiFi network if your signal is weak (it does use plan minutes).
