See people T-Mobile knew Exactly what they were doing building their 3G network on the 1700 AWS band since they knew all along Transitioning to LTE will be a Breeze, of course we've all already been through this.

no they didnt !! plus what does that have to do with horrible customer service and a lack of new and or innovative handsets. All this means is tmobile customers will have to wait till 2019 to get LTE.

horrible customer service? i've been with them since 2002 and have never had poor customer service from them. maybe it's because i pay my bills...

IIRC, verizon bought the 700MHz spectrum license during the auction, didnt they? i think t-mobile is majority owner of the 1700AWS spectrum.

I'm pretty sure Metro PCS and Cricket also bought up a fair share of 1700 MHz spectrum as well. There's been a steady stream of low-end CDMA phones with a 1700 MHz band for a while now.

Verizon does own 1700Mhz spectrum licenses just so everyone is on the same page. See http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=99 if you want a more in depth look at the AWS (1700Mhz) holdings.
