T-Mobile betting $1,000 the Galaxy S 4G is faster than your iPhone

Is AT&T ok with their newly aquired company calling out their network speeds? Afterall it doesnt state that is has to be a verizon iphone.

Yeah if this isn’t rigged, I don’t know what is. As someone mentioned below, if they designed an app for iOS it’s clearly going to be programmed to give TMo an advantage. But I would be very interested to hear a story of someone actually getting the $1000 lol

I bet $10,000 that my Thunderbolt is faster than the Galaxy S 4G…
Well not today of course…

This is good marketing.

Desperation is so very sad.

Wow, lost some respect for tmobile not setting the bar too high I mean really a phone that was released in June 2010. That tells me one of 2 things either the iPhone is so ahead of its competition with almost a year after it’s release they are comparing to brand new phones on new updated networks or just taking cheap shots at a company that only makes 1 phone a year which many people don’t realize how much junk comes out each quarter from the competition and they still sell more units then any of them dream of.

Hmm. Seems everyone still targets the iPhone, even though I’m told that Apple is doomed and Android is surely taking over the world.

I thought at first it said any phone. Then I realized they’re comparing it to a phone almost a year old. Lame. They might as well offer $1,000,000.

whats the gain, why is att allowing this? if proven wrong then then att looses if proven right att looses. unless then price of tmobile will drop if proven wrong and they have to shell out the money……..

It doesn’t matter because ” if you don’t have an iphone, well you don’t have an iphone”. That’s what Steve tells me anyway.

. . . and it’s an app that runs slow(er) on an iPhone.

Lame lame lame… whats worse, people buy into this crap.

Hey guess what, the computer I bought this year is way faster than the one I had 5 years ago…. not quite that bad, but same idea.

bring that ish to west palm florida , ill kick ur behind anytime tmobile

So what if someone hacks into the routers and shuts tmo down to edge?

I assume T-Mobile must have HSPA + 42 Mbps in those areas and are confident nothing else compares network speedwise.

It’s one of those perfect network condition scenarios.

I use T-Mobile but only get around 6 Mbps downlink… not that it’s bad at all but not as fast as a dual carrier HSPA + network would be with proper backhaul.

So is T-Mobiles plan to keep slamming AT&T and the iphone until Bell takes them over, then release a new batch of commercials talking about how great things are?

With a 4G cell in each store?
You bet this is rigged.
If they did this on the street where there is typical traffic, where there might even be users with 4G phones (almost everybody is using 3G and the bandwidth is iffy), maybe then it might be fair.

Put it up against the Thunderbolt then we’ll talk.

If they lose a speed battle in their own store, with their own wireless repeaters in house, they deserve to shell out more than a grand..

$5000 says that this is one of the dumbest ads ever. T-mobile are a bunch of morons!!!! Their new phone is faster than a phone going on 10 months old. This is why iPhone will always be the best smartphone out there. They compare new phones to it that my friends is funny as hell.
