T-Mobile: New Android device in early summer

by Bonnie Cha

Just got an interesting little e-mail from T-Mobile USA. The note was short and sweet--and vague--but the carrier has announced its plans to release its next Google Android device in early summer. The handset will be a "follow-on" device to the T-Mobile G1, so we're guessing it's the Google Ion (aka HTC Magic). T-Mobile said it will have more details to share later this month, so stayed tuned!

How about a little Android love from Verizon? I can't wait for it, and news like this is just teasing me.

I agree, anything would be better than the crappy verizon os they have on most of their phones.

Verizon will manage to screw up Android with their interface requirements just as they have with the Windows Mobile smart phones.

You know, I left Verizon a few years ago. They're all about money grabbing and telling their customers what they should have and how to use their phones. No respect for the customer at all.
Charging $.50 to download a picture when there's a perfectly usable USB connection and then giving some lame excuse as to their "concerns" over USB security...
Then overwriting the phone manufacturer's perfectly usable menu structure and features with their "dumbed-down" mediocrity was the last straw for me.
Verizon - you limit my horizon!!!
