T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network has been spreading around the US like wildfire, allowing users with 4G enabled devices to see significant increases in data speeds. In this new promotion T-Mobile has issued a challenge to anyone with an iPhone on any carrier, bettign that the Galaxy S 4G can beat them in a speed test. This contest will start this weekend and will only be available to select stores in the Seattle area. Simply bring in your iPhone and put it to the test, if you win you get a $1000 if you lose they’ll offer you $300 to trade in that rotten fruit and for a new Galaxy S 4G.
The participating locations are listed in the picture above as well as the press release below.
T-Mobile’s Seattle Speed Challenge
$1,000 says the Galaxy S™ 4G is faster than your iPhone®.T-Mobile is challenging Seattle area iPhone users to a unique challenge. Friday, April 29 – Sunday, May 1, 2011, bring your iPhone into one of our 10 participating stores to take part in a speed challenge. If your iPhone can beat the Galaxy S 4G in two out of three speed tests (download speed), we’ll give you 1,000 bucks.
T-Mobile has been making significant investments in our network, which is why we are confident our smartphone can beat the iconic iPhone, which runs on Verizon’s and AT&T’s 3G networks. This speed challenge will give Seattle area iPhone users the chance to see for themselves why we are so excited about T-Mobile’s 4G network and why now is a great time to be a T-Mobile customer.
Keep an eye on the T-Mobile blog this weekend for live updates, video and photos from the Seattle speed challenge.

Fantastic work by T Mobile!!..
What a joke!!! I wish they would offer that challenge here in Minnesota. I love Android but went back to an iPhone because of data. My iPhone 4 is faster than any device on T-Mobile.
