I’d love it if T-Mobile would just EXPAND their current 3G coverage. What use is claiming a “city” is 3G if it’s just the smallest part of the business district? Lots of sizzle, but no steak. No wonder Deutschland Telekom is riding the US management.

First we heard the Government was dragging it feet when it came to abandoning the spectrum, now they’re rolling out 4G when a) they haven’t completed the 3G, and b) 3G coverage where they do have it is more of a hand towel than a blanket. While the speed is good, I can’t help but wonder if this is more because of the limited area of deployment instead of a sound deployment with a decent backhaul.

And why are we not calling me an author? I love all your armchair quarterbacks who take full advantage of what I do without any appreciation for what it takes to make it happen.

Hopefully the Atlanta metro area will be blessed with the upgrade sooner rather than later. There is 1 concern I have, Verizon plans on launching LTE next year. Depending on how fast and widespread their launch is, Tmo is going to lose any and all momentum they have. How will Tmo be able to advertise their 3.75g network when there will be 2 4g networks available. But at least Tmo is making a concerted effort to close the gap.

Does anyone know which phones support HSPA+? Or do all 3g phones work with it?

Current phones will Max out at 7.2. I’m sure a line of phones and data devices will be soon behind. If you can Max out a 7.2 mbs phone than you are cooking. I’m not sure why you would need faster until video calling comes
