This is BS!!!!!!!!!! I was told by T-Mo that the 3G networks would be up & running by the end of last year. I still do not have 3G!! The only 3G networks that T-Mo has, is in metropolitan areas ONLY@!! Look at their coverage maps. NO 3G for 95% of T-Mo customers. If you’re goin g to announce 3G for T-Mo Get you Shit right!!! As far as I’m concerned T-Mo can suck my BIG Infected Dick!!!!!!

I am just happy that tmo is finally stepping up their game with phones, and adding more to their line. I live in FL and the 3g coverage is great, I know a lot of people arent big fans of the G1 but I love mine, and have few complaints. It is def. better then the shadow (HTC is laggy by nature, and you just have to take it as a whole package). I am thinking about getting another bb when the 3g onyx comes…. we shall see. I am just overall happy with tmo these days..and am proud to say I have been a loyal customer for 4 years from now (considering I jump from carrier to carrier this is a big deal for me!)

You’re going to be waiting a long time for the iPhone to come to T-Mobile. I’ve been waiting on that one for a while now myself. The radio chip that the phone uses to connect to the network only 1/2 works with T-Mobile, and it’s the slower EDGE part. The 3G part that you and I want only works with AT&T’s frequencies which are completely different than T-Mobile’s. The two companies bought different bands of the 3G spectrum 3 or 4 years ago so that’s why they developed different technologies and the phones can’t roam on 3G but can still roam on EDGE/GPRS. In fact up until when the iP3GS came out AT&T would not let an unlocked iPhone roam on their network because they were losing out on the revenue. But now that it’s out, the phone works wonderfully roaming on their network. It’s great when I visit my family in Northern Michigan where T-Mobile didn’t seize the opportunity and buy the smaller networks up there; instead AT&T did and I’m forced to roam. But I digress…

Short of the FCC stepping in and saying Apple needs to make an multi-carrier phone or Apple finally get’s fed up with the poor performance of AT&T’s network and leaves (which I think is going to happen very soon – regardless of FCC intervention) we will not see an iPhone on T-Mobile. It’s a shame but Android is making strides every day and if you think about it, do you really need 12000 fart apps? With all of the major phone manufacturers going Android in at least one phone, developers are not going to stay primarily Apple. And the craziness that is the iTunes store only adds more bodies to the revolt.

I love my iPhone, but as much as I love it, I hate not being able to update on the 1st day a new piece of tech is available because I will lose my unlock. (I am a serious early adopter – when cash flow allows) By going with an Android phone or the new BB, or TP2, you’ll get the 3G speeds we all want and you’ll pay less to get it.

Hope I helped, one iPhone user to another.

Will Tmo’s 3g band ever be compatible with the iPhone? I plan on staying with Tmo and it would be great to actually get 3G speed on my iPhone someday.

@Nitaino I also live in SLC and a friend of mine told me today that a t mobile employee told him September 28 would be the launch of 3g in Salt Lake. I really hope this is true.

T-Mobile should supply there whole network with 3g before starting an upgrade. I am sick of waiting, AT&T’s 3g and phones look and sound better everyday i wait for T-Mobile.

“Even small cities at TXs have 3G WTF people that still riding horses and no vehicles!”

this is fairly true. I live in a small town northwest of Fort Worth, TX and we’re surrounded by nothing but cows. I have 5 bars and awesome 3G coverage, tho. And Verizon’s FIOS. The boonies rock. :D

What’s up with you T-Mobile!? There are still several markets that do not even have 3G yet (and we’ve all been waiting) and they are already upgrading? This is great and all, but some of us still want our 3G! I live in a market where every other carrier has their 3G services (and now Sprint just released their “4G” network here) and T-Mobile is still lagging!
