Following on from the earlier news that T-Mobile would finally be carrying the iPhone as of early next month, the carrier has also revealed that Samsung's Galaxy S4 would be available in early May. CEO John Legere stated at the company's "UnCarrier" conference that the device will arrive "about May 1st," which means, providing no major hitches arise, consumers will only have to wait around five weeks to get their hands on Samsung's latest and greatest smartphone effort.
After what has seemed like an eternity in waiting, T-Mobile will finally begin carrying the iPhone 5 from April 12th. The carrier, which currently sits behind AT&T, Verizon and Sprint in the pecking order in the United States, will be the fourth major network to offer the Cupertino handset after the aforementioned, and as well as being compatible with T-Mobile's just-launched LTE network, there'll also be HD voice thrown into the mixer. The pricing structure is also rather impressive, with a 16GB iPhone 5 costing $99 up-front, followed by 24 monthly installments of $20.
Seldom a year goes by when a new iPhone is about to hit the market, and at least one of the carriers doesn't appear to pull out all the stops in an effort to reel in as many new customers as possible. In fact, each mobile data provider pulls at least one uncharacteristic stunt annually, but T-Mobile's latest promotion is one of the most intriguing we've ever seen.

Ever since the Samsung Galaxy S II became available in Korea and Europe, many in the United States have been wondering when the new smartphone would finally reach the country's carriers. That moment has arrived, with the announcement that the Galaxy S II will be available on Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile this fall.
Just yesterday, it became known that the iPhone 5 could be heading to Sprint, only leaving T-Mobile as the only major US carrier not to carry the iPhone. According to a source, however, T-Mobile might also be getting the iPhone 5 sooner than later, making the handset to be available on every carrier in the United States.
