T-Mobile CEO hints at summer launch for 3G, Android handset in Q4
It's bordering on preposterous how long we've been teased about 3G connectivity from T-Mobile, but apparently, the madness will end this summer. According to CNET, company CEO Hamid Akhavan made mention at Mobile World Congress that T-Mobile would be rolling out 3G sometime during the warmest months of 2008 here in the US of A, but unfortunately, no concrete date was dished out. What he did say, however, was that it would prove to be the "best 3G network" in the nation, so yeah, there's that. As if that weren't enough to get T-Mob subscribers in a celebratory mood, the bigwig also hinted that a Google Android device would be unveiled on its network during Q4 of this year, but we're left to wonder exactly what regions will see it.[Via The Boy Genius Report, image courtesy of Flickr]

Best 3G network? Props to T-Mob for finally getting some 3G, but they got some catching up to do coverage wise before they crown their 3G network the best. Just sounds like sunshine pumping on the CEO's part, which he cannot be faulted for... that is his job after all.

YAWNNNNN!!! Most people here in the US don't even know what 3G is, nor will they use or be able to use it since carriers don't care where they put it.
Now, what would be cool is if they just turned it on everywhere t-mobile is available, but they won't.
