T-Mobile Services / T-Mobile tower requirements

« on: January 20, 2011, 09:28:20 pm »

I was curious. Does anybody, especially a TMO employee, know what requirements, standards, etc. for tower placement. Quite specifically, I am wondering what steps does an individual take to determine if T-Mobile would consider renting some property in order to place a cell tower. BTW, this would be in the Greencastle - Mercersburg, PA area where signal is sometimes less than ideal. Partly, I am curious about the subject. And secondly, it may help my area if another tower is nearby. I know of a land owner who may be willing to rent space for a tower.

Also, I did talk to a CSR recently about 4G. He said it may come into my area in about one year. As of now, I have to travel 5 miles south from "home" to get 3G.

Nokia Discussion / Nokia N900

« on: February 06, 2010, 05:09:31 pm »

Hi, everyone. New to this site.
I had a question I'd like to throw out. Would anybody consider the Nokia N900 a good choice? And explain why?

My background: I've been with t-mobile over 4 years, mostly using a BlackBerry, 7105 first, then to a Pearl 8100, (had bad time with those, 4 bad ones in a row), throw in a T-Mobile Dash for 1 day, and a basic flip phone for  9 months to keep cell costs down, an upgrade to get a BlackBerry again, a 8320 Curve, then finally to 8900.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with BlackBerry, mostly. Like others, I think the browser could be much better. I'm entering a phase now where I may want a touchscreen; Tmo doesn't offer the Storm. Also, I'd like to get more involved in personalizing my phone beyond ringtones, wallpaper, etc. (but not so far as, say, actually programming, though) I would like to consider other devices like the N900 or a Nexus One. The N900, for example, will hook up to 3G on Tmo USA.

So, feel free to give suggestions on a new or newer device model. Anyone have a N900 or Nexus One, let me know your take on it, good, bad, or otherwise.
Thanks
