got a question. so isn’t all of regular 3G phone cannot get HSPA+ speed? for example, Current Android device, G1 and mytouch 3G will not be improved regardless of this network upgrade? Im confused… lol

all i know is i’m upgrading my G1 to a Nexus One in October. all this time i haven’t seen any speeds > 400 Mbps in El Paso whereas Verizon service is blazing on my friends Droid. unless TMo upgrades their network quick in my area, i’m ditching Magenta. too little, too late.

I’m getting 1Mbps down and I am ten minutes outside Minneapolis on my Nokia n900, though I saw a youtube video where another n900 owner was getting 6mbps down in NYC

It works, just not on T-Mo’s 3G frequency. So you wouldn’t get 3G; you’d only get EDGE speeds at best.

Yeah, I’ve seen them too; They even have the iPhone on T-Mo there. And they need to send some of those awesome phones our way, ‘cos T-Mo USA’s current line-up is pretty lacking right now, tho that’ll probably improve in the next few months as more and better phones get released (let’s hope & pray)…

Yes as I mentioned T-Mobile tells the country it has 7.2, however from my travels only 3 cities on the east coast are 1 to 2 Mbs in DL speed.

All we hear is they are working on the back haul. I asked about 7.2 the last week of 2009 and was told the whole nation would be ready the 2nd week of 2010.

Someone with contacts needs to get some firm dates on basic 7.2, I can give a rats ass about the + because the way I see it + will not be available until 7.2 is complete.. someone needs to call T-Mobile’s bluff

@J-Hop2o6: Wow, T-Mo ranked best? That’s awesome! I like where T-Mo is going with this HSPA+… :)

^ Amen to that; RIM really need to make a new BB browser that’s worth a damn.

I have many friends in the LA area with Moto Cliq’s, MyTouch’s and G1′s. None of them have seen anything more than 1.2Mbps.

I’m in the Boston area and I’ve never seen more than 800kbps DOWN and 600kbps UP on my G1. Terrible. My expectations on this rollout is low.(like t-mo’s bandwith)
