Another Reason For Me To Say: T-Mobile + Xiaomi

Whoa, @Xiaomi just became the biggest smartphone manufacturer you’ve never heard of! #congrats http://t.co/2ZSIGmDxMZ

And other people have it on their minds too:

@JohnLegere @xiaomi Why not ask them to make a few phones for T-mobile? ;)

@JohnLegere @xiaomi does this T-Mobile will have some models by summer of next year?

@JohnLegere will you carry @xiaomi phone on @TMobileHelp ?

Yeah. I say a countdown clock has been ticking and T-Mobile offering Xiaomi phones is going to happen next year.

I haven’t followed Legere on Twitter that long, but he’s had plenty of opportunities to mention other Chinese phone makers, such as OnePlus or Meizu. This is the first one I’ve seen. Maybe only because it’s rather big news. But I doubt that.

Tick-tock.
