Let me briefly explain my frustrations and excitement...
I am a BIG T-Mobile
fan (and still is) and was a customer of T-Mobile since 9th grade in high
school. Since the iPhone 4 was released I was hoping and praying that T-Mobile
would be given the opportunity to sell Apple's iPhone and make it available on
their network. During that time I was getting tired of the constant Android and
Blackberry OS platform that dominated the mobile device world (aside from
Blackberry downfall in their OS system.). Some say that Apple's iOS is boring
and the Android "Jelly Bean" platform is more interesting but for me
that wasn't true.
After spending about
$500 for switching from T-Mobile network (in which I still owe $300+ left to
pay and recently missed a payment) to Sprint network and to hear 2-3 months
later that T-Mobile will be getting Apple's iPhone 4, 4s and 5 when my contract
ended in December of 2013; I was highly annoyed. T-Mobile and I have this
love/hate relationship on Twitter. Anyhoo, Sprint has good customer service but
at some in-store service centers I do believe that the staff has racist
undertones to their staff; that's just from my experience.
I'm excited that
T-Mobile is receiving the iPhone because it will bring sales, customers and a
better network. It took them a while to get it I think because of legal actions
between AT&T and Apple didn't want to give T-Mobile the satisfaction (from
what I've heard) and didn't want to reduce the functionality of their phone and
make an alternate version of it as well. From a business point of view I
completely understand.
I chose this article
to blog about because I had complex emotions about it. What can I say; I get
kind of emotional when it comes to technology and money. Very geeky right? Lol!
All jokes aside I thought that this was very exciting news for T-Mobile, the
brand and for their loyal customers. I may not be a T-Mobile contract customer
anymore but I do support their business (even though their service stores are
as dry as the Sahara desert. Their in-store staff is very humble, friendly,
inviting and humorous.).
