@RockTripod Who gives a F*** about what ROM it comes with? If you have an android and your using stock ROM your useless. Hardware is where its at @TheLight was right.
3.5-4.3 in screen
5 Full Row Qwerty Keyboard
1ghz+ processor
5-8 Megapixel Camera
Dual Mic for noise cancellation (N1)
I’m not worried about the rest. And add mini USB 2.0 and HDMI. Plus the slide only has 4 rows on the qwerty not 5. And add faster RAM

TMobile confirmed that the only HSPA+ available product is the Rocket Stick (USB)
that can achieve 21MBs especially where that HSPA+ speed exists west of NYC

NYC caps out at 7.2 for now but soon……………..?

I love the G1 format and look forward to it’s successor versus the non-qwerty 4.3″ htc high-res hspa+ to come
P.S.: Sorry to hear htc hd2 and ALL windows mobile machines have NO more Skpe

FYI Comcast has been building out fiber for T-Mobile since the first of the year so just imagine whats to come. You have the biggest cable provider partnered with T-Mobile so expect big things. Comcast currently has internet speeds of 100mbps in certain metros so just imagine whats to come as far as cell phones. Comcast is also setting to launch cell phones so I dont know if this is going to incorporate T-Mobile but I am interested to see what type of collaborations the two companies have in the future.

Does anyone know if the Samsung Vibrant will support the HSPA+ that is 42 Mbps, Or is it capable of the 21 Mbps.

Just got back from Vegas where I was getting 4.4 Mb/sec with my original myTouch 3G…

To the people complaining about phones still and using ancient G1s. http://www.google.com/phone still works. Best phone available for T-mo for now since they cut corners on features on the vibrant and the N1 is still the only phone that will get Android updates ASAP instead of “in the future.” So while the cheap people wait for the next G1 sucessor, I’m waiting for a N1 sucessor. Something like the EVO would be nice.

My G1 begs to differ… http://twitpic.com/1ybiee

I’ve been getting over 3 Mbps consistently since the network upgrade rolled out in my area (Orlando).

Everyone – A little on HSPA:

REL 7 – 21Mbps – Requires 64QAM or MIMO to give us 21Mbps
REL 8 – 42Mbps – Requires 64QAM AND MIMO OR 64QAM and Dual Carriers
REL 9 – 42Mbps – Requires 64QAM AND MIMO OR 64QAM and Dual Carriers and is a feature update
REL 10 – 84Mbps – Requires 64QAM AND MIMO AND Dual Carriers

Note – REL 10 speeds above are requiring 2 carriers. For a 4 carrier market (20MHz) your top speed can be up to 168Mbps

Compare to LTE speeds are at ~72Mbps.

So – T-MO is not in bad shape with HSPA. Probably why ATT is going to HSPA in many markets! T-Mo is currently at REL 7.5 or so. What I am trying to say is that you do NOT need dual antennas to go to 42Mbps, you can just use Dual Carriers which T-Mo has. Your limitation, quickly again becomes backhaul!
