New T-Mobile myTouch 4G and 4G Netbook
Take Advantage of Blazing-Fast Wireless Broadband Speeds
BELLEVUE, Wash. — Nov. 2, 2010 — T-Mobile USA, Inc. today announced the expansion of
its 4G mobile broadband network to six additional metro areas, and introduced two new products
designed to tap into its 4G service. Tomorrow marks the national retail availability of the
T-Mobile® myTouch® 4G and T-Mobile‘s first 4G netbook, the Dell™ Inspiron™ Mini 10 4G.
With typical download speeds that are on par with or faster than competing 4G technologies, and
service availability in 75 metropolitan markets throughout the United States, the
T-Mobile network now offers a super-fast, next generation mobile broadband experience to more
people than any other wireless network in the country.“4G is about performance and today T-Mobile‘s HSPA+ network is delivering 4G speeds that
match and often beat WiMAX and are comparable to what early LTE will deliver. Our 4G
network is capable of theoretical speeds up to 21 Mbps and we have seen average download
speeds approaching 5 Mbps on our myTouch 4G phone in some cities with peak speeds of nearly
12 Mbps. Further, independent reviewers have seen average download speeds on our
webConnect Rocket between 5 and 8 Mbps with peak speeds up to 8-10Mbps,? said Neville Ray,
chief technology officer, T-Mobile USA. ?The footprint of our 4G service is not something that
competitors are going to match anytime soon, and starting today, we will begin marketing our
network advantage with TV commercials advertising ?America‘s Largest 4G Network‘ from T-
Mobile.?The ?America‘s Largest 4G Network? message will be communicated in an iconic, arresting and
memorable way through national TV and digital advertisements that will begin airing today on
major TV networks and cable TV stations, including ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and TNT, and
appearing on websites, including AOL, MSN, Amazon.com and easily viewable on T-Mobile‘s
YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/tmobile.T-Mobile expanded the availability of its 4G network to six additional metropolitan areas,
including Chicago, Ill.; Colorado Springs, Colo.; Ft. Wayne, Ind.; Louisville, Ky.; and Raleigh-
Durham and Wilmington, N.C. T-Mobile customers with 4G devices in 75 metropolitan areas
can now enjoy faster Web browsing, uninterrupted video streaming and quicker downloads at no
additional cost.?Consumers do not understand the technical alphabet soup of technologies involved in 4G, but
for our purposes we define WiMAX, LTE and HSPA+ as 4G technologies,? said Chris Nicoll,
distinguished research fellow, Yankee Group. ?HSPA+ is evolving a far more ambitious and
long-term road map than was originally envisioned. T-Mobile is using an upgrade to HSPA+ to
deliver faster 4G speeds today and is quickly bringing a number of HSPA+ devices to market
that greatly enhance the mobile data experience for its customers.In addition to the network expansion, T-Mobile continues to broaden its lineup of products that
tap into its 4G network. Available today is the stylish and powerful T-Mobile myTouch 4G
smartphone. Designed to access faster speeds on T-Mobile‘s 4G network, the myTouch 4G also

Camcorder with Screen Share by Twonky™, 5-megapixel camera with flash, Android 2.2, and
additional exclusive T-Mobile features such as Genius Button™, powered by Dragon Dictation
from Nuance Communications, myModes and Faves Gallery™. The myTouch 4G is appearing
in a national ad campaign beginning today and will be the featured device at T-Mobile retail
stores nationwide this holiday season.Also available today is the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 4G, T-Mobile‘s first netbook to feature built-in
access to T-Mobile‘s 4G mobile broadband network. It also includes Windows 7 Starter Edition

communication, photo sharing and multimedia playback in one small, ultraportable device.?With an upgrade path that continues to provide room for considerable speed enhancements,
T-Mobile‘s 4G network is purpose-built for continued growth. We are now on pace to increase
our 4G footprint — reaching 200 million people by the end of this year — with plans to offer
42Mbps theoretical speeds in 2011,? added Ray. ?As customer demand for wireless data
increases, T-Mobile is well-positioned to compete based on the speed, breadth and evolution
path of our mobile broadband service.?Additional 4G products already available from T-Mobile and designed to take advantage of the
faster 4G service include the T-Mobile webConnect® Rocket™ 2.0 laptop stick and the high-
powered T-Mobile G2™ with Google™ smartphone. T-Mobile‘s 4G smartphones, the myTouch
