T-Mobile Unveils Samsung Galaxy SII, HTC Amaze 4G And Sonic™ 4G Mobile HotSpot At Mobilize 2011

Samsung Galaxy SII, HTC Amaze 4G And Sonic™ 4G Mobile HotSpot At Mobilize 2011 http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/

Today T-Mobile unveiled a bunch of true 4G stuff at Mobilize 2011. The HTC Amaze™ 4G and Samsung Galaxy S™ II will be T-Mobile’s fastest smartphones joining the T-Mobile® Sonic™ 4G Mobile HotSpot, the company’s fastest 4G (HSPA+ 42) mobile hotspot.
It will really be fine to hold a Samsung Galaxy S™ II in your hand (I am more inclined towards this phone, together with Atrix 4G and upcoming iPhone 5) and you holding a fine machine that can take care of  most of your day to day needs, at blazing connection speeds. No wonder Apple is not beating around the bush and going for the Samsung jugular. But at the mean time, you and anyone else get to try it before iPhone 5 comes out on October 4 or when ever.

Following is the T-Mobile press release;


2011-09-26 19:26:55 (T-Mobile) Today at GigaOm Mobilize 2011, T-Mobile USA Chief Marketing Officer Cole Brodman outlined the company’s ongoing efforts to fuel consumer adoption of mobile data through increased speeds of America’s Largest 4G Network®, rate plans that make mobile data more affordable, and new devices that take advantage of the company’s faster 4G network and value.
Unveiled during the T-Mobile keynote address at Mobilize 2011, the HTC Amaze™ 4G and Samsung Galaxy S™ II will be T-Mobile’s fastest smartphones and the first smartphones to take advantage of T-Mobile’s faster 4G (HSPA+ 42) network technology. The new smartphones will allow customers to browse the Web faster than on the average home Internet and are showing average download speeds approaching 8 Mbps with peak speeds around 20 Mbps on  T-Mobile’s 4G network1. Both smartpthones are expected to be available next month.

In addition, T-Mobile today announced the T-Mobile® Sonic™ 4G Mobile HotSpot, the company’s fastest 4G (HSPA+ 42) mobile hotspot, providing customers with access to
T-Mobile’s fastest 4G speeds on up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices. America’s Largest 4G Network, which is now faster than ever with the 4G technology of HSPA+ 42, reaches more than 170 million Americans in more than 150 markets throughout the United States.

“These new products unlock the full potential of our faster 4G network and deliver the best experience yet for watching video, surfing the Web, and creating and sharing content on the go,” said Cole Brodman, chief marketing officer, T-Mobile USA. “A 4G connection delivers a much improved experience, which entices consumers to do more with the devices they carry. We’ve seen that first hand; customers with 4G devices on our network consume roughly three times as much data compared as those with 3G devices. Smartphone buyers are increasingly looking for built-in 4G capability, and we’re offering what we believe is the best 4G product portfolio in the industry.”
