Yes, this is coming from a bitter T-Mobile customer who watched in envy as the Motorola Droid, HTC Incredible, and other awesome smartphones shipped to Verizon and, well, everywhere but T-Mobile. But Samsung did all of us a solid by offering up its Galaxy S smartphone across the board, with each wireless vendor slapping their...
