T-Mobile Training Employees On HTC Desire (Comments)
Here we go with another employee training rumor. Originally, the HTC Desire was supposed to appear on AT&T sometime in May/June timeframe, but it looks like T-Mobile is training its retail managers on the HTC Desire as well.

Verizon 4G LTE, What It Means to AT&T (Comments)
Previously, we reported that Verizon was seeing tremendous success with their 4G network in its testing phase and that AT&T was not likely to get anything out the door for some time now.
