May. 8th, 2008 10:29 pmI would like to take this time to bitch about T-Mobile and how PAINFULLY behind they are with technology. My phone is a couple years old, so I know it won't work in Japan. I already knew that. Knowing only this, I went to a T-Mobile store and asked them what I need to do in order to take my phone to Japan and use it.
The first thing the store guy tells me is that I need a new phone that uses 3G technology. (I knew that I was going to need a new phone, didn't know about the 3G thing.) So I asked what kind of 3G capable phones they carry and he told me one. One? ...As in an index finger? You've got to be fucking kidding me!
The told me that I needed to do two other things, but I stopped listening after the "we only have one" bullshit. I told them that I would think about it and left. After doing a bit of interweb research, I've learned that A) their "one" 3G capable phone is only a 2.5G at best and B) T-Mobile is years behind in 3G phones and networks. YEARS. My mom has a 3G capable phone from Cingular and she got it almost three goddamn years ago. DX
I'm so pissed off about this I can't even see straight.
