T-Mobile USA reports over 4 milion new customers in 2008

T-Mobile USA’s launch of 3G services was combined with a significant strengthening of the converged device offering during 2008. With the successful launch of the T-Mobile G1 with Google and the Samsung Behold, both 3G converged devices, nearly 40 percent of devices sold to contract customers in the fourth quarter of 2008 (including both upgrades and new customers) were converged devices, of which more than half were 3G enabled. The company reported over 4.1 million net new customers added in 2008, 2.94 million organic net new customers and 1.13 million acquired as part of the SunCom Wireless, Inc acquisition in February 2008. This compares to 3.64 million net new customers added in 2007.
