In an interview with FierceWireless, T-Mobile USA’s senior VP of engineering and operations (and newly-minted chairman of 3G Americas’ board) Neville Ray has slipped a couple juicy morsels in the process of talking up his carrier’s ongoing 3G rollout. Besides mentioning that T-Mobile wants to double its 3G footprint in 2009, Ray says that “we will be launching more G series phones and other products… in the coming weeks and months.” If we had to guess, this probably (hopefully) has something to do with that HTC Sapphire we’ve seen floating around lately. What’s more, you’ll see T-Mobile start to ramp up peripheral support this year — gotta monetize that multi-billion-dollar network somehow — with a modem launch. All told, these guys still have a long way to catch up in the 3G race with Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint — but if you want bleeding-edge Android stuff, looks like they’ll continue to be your best bet for a while.
