In one of the more interesting articles I’ve seen recently, David McNamee of Smartphone Thoughts recounts his switch-over to T-Mobile with an MPx200 originally put in service on AT&T Wireless. T-Mobile currently doesn’t sell the MPx200 for use on its network, but since it’s an 1800/1900 GSM/GPRS phone, it definitely works. In fact it probably works better on T-Mobile across the country than it would on AT&T Wireless.
This article illustrates another option for dissatisfied AT&T Wireless GSM customers: don’t fight for a phone with equivalent features when AT&T suggests that you move to GSM 850, switch to T-Mobile.
The thing I’m really interested in knowing, now that I’ve read David’s article is, to what extent do AT&T logos and references to mLife and other carrier-specific features still appear now that the phone has been switched to T-Mobile?
