T-Mobile – yet again – is laying down the gauntlet. They want you to stop in with your pretty iPhone and see if it can outperform the Samsung Galaxy S 4G in data speeds. Think it’s possible? If you’re successful, you’ll get $1,000 to go home with from T-Mobile. A catch, you say? Why, of course! Your iPhone can be on Verizon or AT&T, but you must be connected to their respective 3G networks during the test.
Verizon’s iPhone 4 is 3G only and AT&T’s has no support for HSPA+. Doesn’t seem like anything but a gutsy marketing tactic after you consider those unfair conditions. I don’t think I’d even waste time going into a T-Mobile store, but I’m sure the average consumer would be sucked in by it. What about you guys? [T-Mobile via BGR]
