“T-Mobile announced that it will carry the iPhone 5 this morning at its “Uncarrier” event in New York City, alongside new pricing plans,” Juli Clover reports for MacRumors. “Though the iPhone 5 is not a new device, several media outlets went hands-on with the device after the event to test out the phone’s speeds, pricing, and feature set.”
“Gizmodo tested the iPhone 5’s HD voice feature, which takes advantage of the wideband audio on the iPhone 5 to deliver better sound quality. On a T-Mobile iPhone-to-iPhone call, the difference was notable,” Clover reports. “Engadget went hands on to test the T-Mobile LTE speeds of the Note II, the HTC One, and the iPhone 5, finding that T-Mobile’s LTE network performed well”

T-Mobile USA begins selling Apple iPhone 5 on April 12th for $99 down, iPhone 4S for $69.99, iPhone 4 for $14.99 – March 26, 2013
NOT IF YOU BOUGHT AN IPHONE 5 over the last 4 months or buy one upto April 12… IT IS NOT FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE T-MUMBLE NETWORK AND WILL ONLY PARTIALLY WORK, AND AT A MUCH SLOWER SPEED.
Words have meanings: “notable” (remarkable) is a stronger endorsement than “noticeable” (easily perceptible) in MDN’s headline.
So the remaining question is: Where was the announcement for cellular iPad/iPad mini support???
” . . . went hands on to test the T-Mobile LTE speeds of the Note II, the HTC One, and the iPhone 5, finding that T-Mobile’s LTE network performed well”
It worked well In a controlled test? I’m shocked!
I don’t know about the iPhone speeds, but I can’t wait to see the speeds on my Note II. Denver was not part of T-Mobile’s LTE launch, but DISH is sending me down to Houston on business next week, and I will put the new speeds to the test then. I have the perfect app to speed test with too. It’s called DISH Anywhere; it streams live TV and DVR recordings to my phone, and I use it to stay on top of my favorite teams when I travel. My video quality depends on my network speed, so I expect crystal clear HD with LTE.
Very comprehensive review. Thank you for sharing!
