Three T-Mobile phones worth waiting for (roundup)
In addition to taking the full plunge into prepaid territory, T-Mobile has lined up some highly anticipated top-tier phones. Here's the lowdown on the three handsets that are worth considering.
Now that T-Mobile has done away with its two-year contract model, we take a look at the three hottest handsets that are destined for the carrier.
Based on its new options, you will be able to get these phones alongside a monthly $50 unlimited talk and text plan (and 500MB of data thrown in for good measure). If you want unlimited data, you'll need to pay $20 more, totaling up to a reasonable $70 per month.

As if the Galaxy S4 doesn't have enough things going for it, the device will also pack a vividly bright 5-inch full HD Super AMOLED screen, either a 1.9GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor or a 1.6GHz octo-core Exynos 5 Octa CPU (though chances are the U.S. model will get the former), and a 13-megapixel camera.

Not only is the One just a fine-looking, all-aluminum-cased handset, it also has room under the hood for some impressive specs. It was one of the very first phones to be announced with a (1.7GHz) quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, it has a 4-megapixel "Ultrapixel" camera that can record 1080p full HD video, and its 4.7-inch LCD screen boasts a whopping 468ppi.

As the Hail Mary phone from BlackBerry, you can bet the company filled its Z10 flagship to the brim with high-tech specs and features.

All packaged in a handsome, sturdy construction. Read the full review.
