Wake up San Francisco! Its 3G day! That’s right San Fran you are today’s lucky winners of the T-mobile 3G launch contest. Today’s winners will receive high speed broadband services as well as improved voice quality and an opportunity to use that shiny G1 to the best of its ability. With this launch T-mobile is well on its way to achieving its stated goal of 27 cities by mid-October.
It’s early and I can’t really think of anything funny to write about San Francisco, except for the fact that this picture reminds of the end sequence in the “Full House” opening credits when they are having the picnic outside. I have the theme song in my head right now and its punishing, just absolutely awful.

oops i meant to say last thursday, but anyhow you have now been informed.
haha its funny you said that, because when i saw the pics of the houses i was thinking the same thing!! Now…wheres that golden gate bridge?
lol
Dammit I just moved from sf to reno. I want 3g xp
Just wordering….Did Los Angeles get 3G already???
So close. It stretches out to Brentwood which is 50 miles away from San Francisco. I live 20 miles away from Brentwood. I hope the Sacramento launch can cover me, as I live about 50 miles south of Sac.
There’s a reason those houses look familiar, not just from Full House. They’re an iconic part of SF imagery. They’re called “the postcard houses”, because they’re among the most photographed (and used in post cards) houses in SF.
Full House probably filmed that part with those exact houses (or ones just like them) to specifically invoke the familiar imagery of SF.
(probably more than you ever wanted to know about the topic, huh?)
But, still, cool. I’ve got 3G… even though I don’t yet have a 3G phone
(that should be taken care of in 3-4 weeks, when I get my G1!!! 
)
Does this include the whole bay area? Or just San Francisco? I’m in Walnut Creek, CA and I hope it does.
Nevermind, it does include the whole bay area. Nice!
I live 50 miles away from san francisco. (Fairfield) I hope 3g
Reaches that far..
yes finally…..too bad im still sticking with nokia for now
WHOOOO HOOO!!!
(I have lived in SF my whole life and I don’t even know where those houses are haha)
(then again, it kinda looks like dolores park but i’m not sure. oh well)
by thread from hofo member jeff, 3G is active in SF Bay area

btw, is there any problem to put a link to another forum that has evidence of 3G in SF?!
No Mingkee, there isn’t, but tell me why on earth do you feel the need to comment by posting someone else who has equal evidence? My blog post is all the evidence that is necessary…
perhaps you and me have different point of view
more solid evidence is always better
btw, I’ll have chance to check 3G existence in Westchester/White Plains/Yonkers coming weekend
stay tuned
So I live in san jose which is about 40 miles south of the city. Will I be getting 3g as well?? Very anxious for it!!!
