I can’t believe Birmingham has gotten 3G before St. Louis! I am from Huntsville, Al; which is just north of B’ham, but I live in St. Louis now. I mean really, STL is larger than Birmingham or a lot of the cities that have gotten the T-mobile 3G, not that my phone has 3G or anything, but still one would think they would release 3G in the larger cities first then on down to the smaller, and eventually the sticks.

I didn’t think curlin31 was dissing Birmingham at all, just stating a fact. MIlwaukee does in fact have over 1.5 million people in its’ metro area, and as someone who lives there and has been a subscriber since the VoiceStream days, I can say that 3G can’t come here fast enough. I too wonder what the criteria for rolling out 3G in markets is. I’m sure it’s more complicated than existing subscriber base, and agree with “D” that the speed with which some markets get online quicker than others would include existing infrastructure. Seems like a no-brainer to me. I would guess that the Milwaukee/Madison corridor install can’t be too far off in the future, but it would be nice to know.
Population FAQ: Milwaukee city=550,000 Milw Metro=1.5 million, Madison city=223,400 Madison metro=543,000. The cities are 68 miles apart (edge to edge not center to center), but the metro areas converge at less than 40.

Geez! Sorry! No diss was intended! lol. I was just simply making a statement from a business perspective. And the 550,000 figure for Milwaukee is just counting the city, if you count the outer lying areas, then it would be one million plus as well. And I know for a fact that there are tons of T-Mobile customers in Milwaukee, cause i’m the one that signs them up! lol….. The Wisconsin Market of The Mobile Solution (don’t start) has been #1 in the country for the past 7 out of 9 months and yes, with no fraud! And our market consists solely of Milwaukee and Racine. So Milwaukee is indeed a huge market for T-Mobile. But anways, congrats Birmingham… no diss was intended lol.

3G finally comes to the rocket city. Time to see how much this affects my battery life.

Hey, I work for T-Mobile in Bham and that’s just mean to diss us like that. Our engineers put a lot of love and take a lot of pride in our network here in Bham. I know some of them and they have been in and out of our store (we have a tower) since early this year to make it happen. I hope to get the G1 one day but the big T is rightly putting our customers first. Peace! And Hooray!

I’ve lived in Birmingham for the past 22 years and it is a wonderful city. If you’ve never lived here for an extended period of time you obviously have no basis for your claims. I guess some people on these boards just don’t have that southern charm and hospitality.
