Summary: You want a new phone. You pay too much. Your reception is awful in the exact location where you live and work. And yet, despite the ongoing frustration with your carrier of choice, there's a very good chance you'll stick with it for years — even decades. Now the best phones are available on pretty much all the national wireless networks. T-Mobile is now banking on a new campaign that doesn't lock you into two-year plans. Is it everything we wanted, or will anyone even notice? Welcome to Top Shelf, a weekly show from The Verge that takes a deeper dive into the products and experiences of the technology that shapes our lives. Join David Pierce and a veritable gaggle of (mostly organic) friends as they showcase the best in consumer electronics, past, present, and future.
