Today T-Mobile finally and officially announced that they will begin selling the iPhone 5 in April. After all these years of being a loyal T-Mobile customer and bating my time for them to at last join the other major carriers, my wish will finally be coming true.<\/p>\n

As much coverage as the larger carriers? No, not yet. But decent coverage. And no contract with monthly payments for basically an unlocked phone with a very simple and straightforward pricing plan makes this a no-brainer for me, especially since both Apple and T-Mobile already have all my contacts’ information and I won’t have to suffer through inputting everything again. And like AT&T, but not available for either Verizon or Sprint, the phone will have two antennas, so I will be able to access data and voice at the same time.<\/p>\n

This may finally be the first year I will be able to do real-time check-ins and posts while physically elsewhere, such as at Comic Con.<\/p>\n

Now comes the decision as to whether I should wait for the strongly rumored iPhone 5s to be announced.<\/p>\n
