it's just that, since we're all communicating in writing here, it would sometimes be nice--for clarity and ease-of-reading if we could adhere to certain basic language standards. i was kind of half-kidding. not trying to be a grammar nazi, tempting though it is, sometimes. i'll try to confine my nitpicking to the off-topic area in future.
funny picture, danguyf!
Re: T-Mobile USA confirm more G-Series devices in 2009; likely to be HSPA
Chiming with a reply that will doubtless please no one, I suggest that the use of singular or of plural in such cases depends on what you mean as the author or speaker.
http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/group.html
In this case, "T-Mobile USA (the company, singular) confirms more G-series devices," but "T-Mobile USA (engineers/technicians/managers, plural) are looking to double."When the group is being considered as a whole, it can be treated as a single entity: “the group was ready to go on stage.” But when the individuality of its members is being emphasized, “group” is plural: “the group were in disagreement about where to go for dinner.

But Cingular is AT&T.
C'mon, that's funny!
Ehh.
I have noticed T-Mobile being somewhat tight lipped about Androids future. I'd like to have some kind of confirmation that they intend to truly throw their full support behind the platform.
