Does the micro sim here mean that it can be swapped into an iPad without paying for an iPad data contract?
Jerry,
What do you mean? Can you swap the MicroSIM from your iPhone into your iPad and use your phone’s data plan instead of paying for a separate data plan for the iPad? I would assume so actually.
aww, no 4G? I will be happy with my EVO 4G, with video calling–anywhere! thanks, android
3G at 1900 and 2100 this means it will run on 3G on T-Mobile! HELL YEAH!
Thatcher,
Sadly nope. TMobiles 3G is 1700 not 1900…
