“In the beginning of June, 2010 T-Mobile released the second device running Android 2.1 OS, MyTouch 3G Slide. “Whoa!” you may say, “Hold it, mister! What was the first one?” The first one was Nexus One. Yes, it was released by Google and never sold through T-Mobile, but, if you recall, Nexus One runs 3G on 1,700 MHz, the T-Mobile band and was released for use on that network, so T-Mobile users who wanted the 2.1 experience could have submerge themselves in it already in January. You may also recall that Nexus One for other networks never materialized, so despite the fact that it was technically a non-T-Mobile phone, in real life it was, at least in the US of A. Let me also remind you that Nexus One was not just the first T-Mobile compatible Android 2.1 phone, it was the first Android 2.1 phone period. Therefore is makes it even weirder that once it was released, T-Mobile became the last of the national US carriers to have the latest Android version on its shelf. For a carrier that gave the green light to Android as a real OS with G1 (btw, another Google/HTC branded phone), the carrier that is in a serious fight for a market share and is very aggressive with its calling plans, such a delay is inexcusable.” Read more here:
