It may sound like a simple thing to "just make a t-mobile version" but generally that depends even more so on the operator - rather than purely on Asus.

The US operator market is quite difficult.. esp. in the sense that each operator is quite different from the other, and specific band support is more common rather than exception.
In contrast to , for example, Europe, where you basically can have one set of bands and cover more or less every market. As such, planning is much easier.
We very much hope we will have better and better success in the US - and one day - full TMO support 😉

But what about the Ultimate Edition? I'm hoping that there are plans to add Band 71 and VoLTE to it before it comes out in the United States, especially since it's coming with improved network and charged at a premium price point.
The competitor to the ROG Phone, the Razer Phone 2, which released last year supports Band 71 and VoLTE on T-Mobile even though the operator doesn't offer the phone in their stores. The ROG Phone II is a near perfect device that only suffers from missing these things.
I hope it isn't too late to amend this for the Ultimate Edition. It's just one band and the Ultimate Edition hasn't been shipped out yet.
