I was under the impression that the Edge wasn't going to have an AWS-capable GSM chip, which makes this announcement really confusing for me.

- kapilvt 13y agoThe ubuntu edge phone that's being crowd funded and 3rd party phones running ubuntu mobile os aren't the same thing. Tmobile is joining the CAG for ubuntu mobile OS, not backing a particular hardware phone.
- jsight 13y agoThis isn't talking about the same phone. Although it would be funnier if it were. The Ubuntu Edge for the network with more EDGE (2G-only areas) than anyone else! I like T-Mobile, but their network is sadly behind in many areas. It's also suffering from capacity problems in my area now.
- cbhl 13y agoOh, they're just joining the advisory group. Clearly didn't read the article closely enough. Hmm, so I guess (assuming Ubuntu ever gains traction in the mobile space -- ha, ha) T-mo just wants the option to find a hardware partner one day and put Ubuntu on some new phone in partnership with them.
