IMPORTANT: We all (T Mobile USA costumers) have a problem

---

OK I don't think that anybody has raised this problem. If someone did than I'm sorry.
We (T Mobile USA costumers) have a big problem with this phone and and all 4g phones if this merger with AT&T goes trough. T Mobile uses 1700 and 2100 MHz AWS spectrum for 4G but AT&T wants to migrate all T Mobile costumers to 1900 MHz for 4G and use 1700 MHz for 4G LTE if the merger goes trough. I checked the specs on Phone Arena and it show this: UMTS:900, 1700/2100, 2100 for this phone and as you can see, it does not have 1900 MHz for 4G.Which means that this beautiful phone will became a brick more or less (no 3G or 4G). Anyone has any information about this? I mean T Mobile is really going about to sell a phone knowing this?

PS. I was against this merger even before finding out about this

here you can find a article about it http://goo.gl/JWIe9

I think even if the merger does happen it's gonna be at least a year or more before we see any changes & from what I heard they're gonna keep both spectrums for more compatibilities

and or give nice replacement phones...

I'm just hoping that the deal doesn't go through & tmous gets that $6bil to roll out LTE

No they don't have any plans to keep both spectrums. Read the article

Yeah keep dreaming that AT&T will give you a replacement phone

it was told to me by customer that not to worry that if the merger does go through tmobile customers will be given replacement phones of equal value

And you are going to make a purchase like this based on hopes? Because that is nothing more. A comment from a customer rep that don't know much. Everybody that calls T Mobile know that. You have to go to level 2 techs before they start knowing what they are talking about it. Anyway the official statement from AT&T does not say anything about replacing the phones and guess who will be in charge if the merger goes trough? I give you a hint, it will not be that costumer rep that is trying to sell you a phone.

I've read that sensation 4g has an 1900 MHz

not 100% sure but from the box shots I've seen of the released UK version and spy shots of the T-mobile US version, the only difference is in the 3G/UTMS frequency.

UK is 900/1700/2100
US is 1700/1900/2100

guys.. its not like when at&t officially buys tmobile, there going to disconnect the 4g lines. thats going to take another 6-12 months AFTER they buy tmobile. so since they wont buy tmobile till next march. i dont see them cutting off 4g/3g internet for tmobile using phones till maybe October of 2012 at the least, probably even longer than that
