@Mark: On second thought, you might get 3G with the initial deployment as Savannah is apart of the Jacksonville market and not Atlanta.

@Mark: Don’t get your hopes up for 3G in Savannah anytime soon. The initial launch will more than likely only cover metro Atlanta.

From what I understand spectrum clearing is the only thing holding up a nationwide launch. I’d expect a major launch by November.

all markets will have HSDPA out of the box, just need device support

So does this mean that the list of cities thats on the internet even though they are not in the press release all going to be HSDPA? Is this the cities they are referring to as a location where many of their users use data?

I use 6263 for now, till Z780 comes
the 3G tethering speed of 6263 is pretty decent

Yes, this is great, but they should really hurry and release these products and services in other cities. I hope some of the phones that HTC is going to reveal tomorrow are going to have the same chipset as the X1 so that it would include AWS. Everything would point to that they would since some leaked specs have listed a quad band HSDPA like the X1 as well as the same processor speed.

Nice, here in a suburb of Savannah I can only get GPRS anyway…unless I switch to a CDMA carrier. (not gonna happen)
