BELLEVUE, Wash. --(Business Wire)--
T-Mobile (News - Alert) USA, Inc., and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (Samsung
Mobile), today announced the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note®
II. The new smartphone features T-Mobile's largest smartphone screen -
a 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED® screen - for an enhanced
entertainment experience and improved productivity while using the
device. The Galaxy Note II is T-Mobile's first device with a quad-core
processor, featuring Samsung's (News - Alert) 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos processor. In
addition, the Galaxy Note II is T-Mobile's first smartphone shipping
with Android™ 4.1 Jelly Bean and the device's 3100mAh battery
powers up to 15 hours of talk time1.
"The Samsung Galaxy Note II is the latest innovative device to join
T-Mobile's portfolio. It takes the all-in-one device concept to the next
level and we anticipate it will replace many standalone devices
consumers have today," said Brad Duea, senior vice president, product
management, T-Mobile USA. "When combined with our Unlimited Nationwide
4G Data plan, the Galaxy Note II is a true powerhouse device with
exclusive features, amazing 4G experiences and superior value that only
T-Mobile can deliver."
Entertainment
Only T-Mobile Galaxy Note II customers will have access to an exciting
new racing game preloaded on the device, which will include three free
levels. In addition, T-Mobile's exclusive version of the racing game
will be optimized to interact with a MOGA™ Mobile Gaming
System, bringing an immersive, console-quality gaming experience to the
palms of T-Mobile customers' hands.
The Galaxy Note II also enables T-Mobile customers to bring their
entertainment to the big screen by wirelessly sharing content, such as
games, movies and TV shows on their smartphone, to any HDMI-capable TV
via the AllShare Cast feature and AllShare Cast Wireless Hub accessory.
The AllShare Cast Wireless Hub accessory is currently available in
T-Mobile retail stores and at www.T-Mobile.com

Building on the Premium Suite of productivity features offered with the
original Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note II delivers an even more robust
portfolio of tools for business professionals. The enhanced S Pen™
gives users a more precise and natural writing and drawing experience,
making creativity and collaboration a breeze. New applications for the S
Pen, such as Air View which gives the ability to preview content simply
by hovering the S Pen over an email, calendar entry, image gallery or
video, helps Galaxy Note II users get more done - even faster.

Enterprise) device, providing the ability to securely sync corporate
email, calendars, contacts and sensitive information. In addition, the

current views of Deutsche Telekom management with respect to future
events. These forward-looking statements may include statements with
regard to the expected development of revenue, earnings, profits from
operations, depreciation and amortization, cash flows and
personnel-related measures. You should consider them with caution. Such
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are
difficult to predict and are generally beyond Deutsche Telekom's

our objectives are the progress of our workforce reduction initiative

expansion initiatives. In addition, stronger than expected competition,
technological change, legal proceedings and regulatory developments,

revenue development. Further, the economic downturn in our markets, and
changes in interest and currency exchange rates, may also have an impact
on our business development and the availability of financing on
favorable conditions. Changes to our expectations concerning future cash
flows may lead to impairment write downs of assets carried at historical
cost, which may materially affect our results at the group and operating
segment levels.�If these or other risks and uncertainties materialize,
or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove
incorrect, our actual performance may materially differ from the
performance expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. We can
offer no assurance that our estimates or expectations will be achieved.

accounting principles. Other companies may define these terms in
