Unhappy anyone ordering one of these for Tmobile USA even though it will only work on edge??

call me a mad man, but not having this phone is killing me, im seriously thinking about pulling the trigger and just living with edge until a AWS version comes out, then selling it. do you guys think im crazy??? I do lol.

I do ... i would buy a phone with the appropriate band that supports tmobile 3/4g at nearly the same price.

Then when tmobile gets their version of galaxy s i would then flip the phone on craigslist and up a few dollars more.

Believe me you would be miserable when you are not in a wifi area stuck on edge.

What if you are out with the misses or something and need to pull google maps or some ****.

I almost did the same thing with xperia x1 but decided to switch to att instead of put up with edge on the x1 with tmobile.

It would be pretty mad to get such a phone and live with the dreaded "E" when not around wifi.

That said, a co-worker has a T-Mobile Nexus One on AT&T and he gets by, but as many of you may know, Big Blue's flavor is hard to come by.

I do suspect the stateside SGSII, no matter the carrier, is going to be closer to $500USD instead of the $700+ you'd pay for importing.

I'm going to hold out for a TMOUS version and pay full price.
Google Galaxy Nexus GSM Black 2000MAh
HTC One V / "Primo" GSM - Ninja Tel DEF CON XX Exclusive
Google Nexus S / GT-I9020T
"Day One" Google Nexus One / "Passion"
MotoFone F3 / "Zombie Apocalypse Phone"
Apple "new" iPad 64gb WiFi
HTC Wing / "Herald"
(formerly owned) - Apple iPad 2 64GB WiFi Viewsonic G Tablet / "Harmony", LG-P999 / G2X, Apple iPad 16GB 3G, TMOUS1024 HD2/Leo 1024, 4xHTC G1/Dream, HTC MDA/Wizard, HTC SDA/Tornado, Nokia N900, Nokia 6600, Danger Hiptop, Hiptop Color.

No, you aren't crazy. I'm on TMOUS, and I've decided that this WILL be my next phone. I've been living with the G1 since it's inception, it's time for me to upgrade.

I'm a little worried about a TMO version, because I don't want them to screw with the S II. Ya know, start omitting features and changing the design and all that, it looks PERFECT. I can't wait until it's officially announced for our carrier. But if it isn't, I might just be like you and live on E with this awesome phone.
