Everyone is currently trapped in the perpetual buzz surrounding AT&T’s purchase of T-Mobile, and yes it will be an adjustment. Perhaps one of the most common arguments on the matter is the availability of phones that will still work once/if the takeover happens. However the new collaboration between LG and T-Mobile nullifies that worry. The T-Mobile G2X beyond bringing a new AOSP experience to customers will also offer AT&T 850MHz band, meaning that even if AT&T manages to takeover it will still be able to function on 4G (where available) without a problem, and not only in the US but in Europe, Asia, and the rest of the Americas as well.
Of course this also means that current AT&T customers could look at picking up this device as well, provided they’re willing to pay the off-contract fee. It’s going to be interesting to say the least, especially if T-Mobile is looking at releasing more devices offering quad-band radios.
