10 Oct 09 TMobile Phones Now Bigger Than Ever

TMobile is among the largest mobile phone companies in the world and with a new deal just completed they are getting even bigger. They currently offer TMobile phones range and a set of prices to compete with any other cell phone company. So if you are in the market for a contract phone or a pay as you go phone there is something that will suit your needs no matter what they are.

Thus anyone can get a great phone with great network coverage and also a great tariff to suit.

The mobile phone market in the UK is becoming incredibly competitive with only a few very large companies able to survive. TMobile having joined forces very recently with Orange – one of its previous competitors – to take a customer haul of some 28.4 million, which is a colossal amount of mobile phone users.

The letter T in T Mobile stands for – wait for it – telecom. In the UK alone and now with the newly signed deal with Orange, T Mobile will have a total of 28.4 million customers. If a further deal between Deutsche Telekom’s T Mobile and Orange’s French division goes ahead later in the year then sales will be worth $13.5bn.

Not so good news for its employees as there will be inevitable job losses and shop closures. And you have to question if its good news for the customer, as the word “monopoly” tends to spring to mind, don’t you agree?

Further to this recent news, T Mobile is tinkering with the idea of making a multi-billion dollar bid for the third largest US telecoms carrier – Sprint Nextel, which currently has a market value of $10.6 billion. Watch out for further news on this in the coming weeks.

T Mobile US division is at the moment the country’s third largest carrier following on the tails of Verizon and AT&T.

What about new cell phones available with TMobile? Well, within the past number of weeks TMobile UK made available its Android smartphone to the UK market. The Android phone is a development by Google the internet search engine provider but they have given TMobile UK explicit rights to the current Android phone, called the Pulse phone.

With a price tag of 180 pounds sterling UK which equates to $286 US and available exclusively to T Mobile, it has the largest screen of any Android set at 3.5 inches, which is HVGA touchscreen, and can also be trackball operated. Further, it has a 3.2 megapixel camera with TeleNav GPS system.

There is a 3.2 megapixel camera to boot and a TeleNav GPS set up too. Qualcomm’s MSM7200A chipset is used, while the memory size is 2GB. There is a mini SD card slot for you to upload and download software, ringtones etc. The weight of the phone is 130g.

The search engine giant Google who have developed the Android sets have said that although TMobile have exclusive rights to the Pulse, there will be other Android sets available towards the end of this year – 2009. This can only be good news for the customer.
