video edge becomes t mobile

these cell phone stores don't pop up on every corner to sell phones. that's just a sideline. it's my understanding that places like this open basically as advertising for the brand.

every person who walks out of the Q train will now have one more t mobile sign imprinted on their brain. next time they get into a fight with their sprint customer service rep, they'll think back...

this is how the game is played.

sucks, but there it is.

my heart sank when i saw that sign, but at least it's an actual outlet and not that awful Mojo AT&T shop on Flatbush with the guy who'll hand you a flyer, tell you to come see him for anything, and then try to hand you that flyer again 10 seconds later. i hate that guy.

I have stepped foot in a cell phone store maybe 4 times in my entire life, and mostly back when they had those "Sprint PCS" stores you had to go to, to pay your bill. I do all my cell business online, and I always thought everyone else did too.

The other times I wandered into a current cell phone store, there was always some shady Russian or gypsy sitting behind the counter who looked like he'd steal my fingers if I shook his hand.

I would really love to know who is giving these places all this business, there are literally dozens of them in the neighborhood, many taking up some major, premium-priced commercial real estate.
