I assume this is supposedly a dig at the G1. Tough talk from a guy who's
favorite phone's refurbs are sold in enough quantities that AT&T can
repeatedly market them nationally...

T-Mo handles its warranty returns with a hot spare program. They mail
you a replacement, then you ship the dud to the replacement center. The
center then ships them all back to their respective manufacturers.
In the "good old days" when I was a Cingular dealer in the 90s, Cingular
did many phone repairs at local corporate-owned facilities (in the
backroom of a large Cingular retail store,) often while the customer
waited.

T-Mobile needs a hundred more people here in GA to do that?

The bright side is unemployment has been up in GA and T-Mobile is
doing their part in bringing it down.Go T-Mobile and Google

T-Mo has 33 million customers today. How long has it been since they've
expanded the returns processing center?

That can not be. There have been no returns of the reliable Apple
iPhone 3Gs to T-Mobile, now Androids....

Not to LaGrange, anyway- I'm sure T-Mo Deutschland uses a closer Refurb
Center for their iPhone returns!
