Residents of Boise, Idaho are rejoicing! Thanks to T-Mobile, they are now experiencing 3G goodness! As someone who has had 3G for a while, I sometimes forget that not all of the country has 3G. Personally, I can’t wait for HSPA+ which T-Mobile is indeed promising. Currently, HSPA+ is only available in certain markets now. Get ready for 21Mbps! Let’s hope it comes soon.

Well it has certainly been a while since we’ve seen or heard anything surrounding 3G launches for T-Mobile. Our attention has been focused on HSPA and HSPA+ services that we have all but lost sight that not everyone has received 3G service. Lexington, Kentucky is the first 3G launch is the first 3G launch in two months and we know that plenty of areas are still left. However, HSPA and HSPA+ still dominate our desires right now and the more we focus on those launches, the less focus we have on areas that are still hoping for 3G.
Hopefully, 2010 will see a nationwide rollout for T-Mobile giving all customers the opportunity to enjoy all that 3G has to offer.
Thanks to everyone who wrote in!

Today is the day you’ve all been waiting for! Although T-Mobile had promised us HSPA 7.2Mbps before the end of 2009, better late than never right? Today Phonescoop claims that, T-Mobile has officially announced that it has upgraded its entire 3G network to HSPA 7.2Mbps. T-Mobile also claims that its 3G footprint now covers some 200 million Americans. Along with the announcement, T-Mobile also stated that it plans to be the first U.S. carrier to deploy HSPA+ 21Mbps across its network by mid 2010. Now we can finally show AT&T who really has the ‘nations fastest 3G network’. I don’t know about you but it can’t get better than this, or can it? Are you guys getting super fast 3G speeds? Let us know in the comments!
UPDATE: Try rebooting your handset to get the faster 3G speeds.

As 2009 winds to a close, T-Mobile has officially hit its 2009 goal of covering more than 200 million people with 3G coverage. For the uninformed, that means in the areas of T-Mobile coverage, over 200 million people COULD use it, not are using it. According to the email sent my way, since the first 3G market launched in 2008, T-Mobile has added more than 330,000 POP’s per day. Also mentioned, is that T-Mobile has built a 3G network faster than anyone else in the United States, nothing like a little self promotion. Last week saw the most recent 3G launches with Little Rock, Ark; Moscow, Idaho and Pullman, Walla Walla and Yakima, WA.
While we’ve been hoping for at least a few cities to see HSPA+ launched before year’s end, it looks as though we’ll have to wait till next year. Of course at this point, that’s only 3 days away so really, not a huge concern.
“With 3G, T-Mobile has laid the foundation to take the network to the next level. Having a nationwide HSPA network gives T-Mobile a competitive edge, since the network can be quickly upgraded to HSPA+ over the next year, providing customers with superior speeds and services. Pair it with an excellent line-up of existing and upcoming 3G devices, and T-Mobile’s 21 Mbps-capable network will give wireless customers a big incentive to switch to T-Mobile from other competitors.”

Update: Yakima, Washington apparently also get 3G today!
With the year almost over, T-Mobile must be moving furiously to reach their goal of covering over 200 million people with 3G coverage. Today’s launch news is courtesy of Little Rock, Arkansas which is waking up to all that is 3G goodness and just in time for the holiday’s. Since it’s a slow news week, here are some fun facts about Arkansas:

While still “officially” unconfirmed, Louisville is the source of widespread reports of 3G coverage popping up all over the place. Having been teased just 10 days ago with a hopeful launch date, rest assured this time reports are coming in from all over town. Louisville, how are you feeling on this winter 3G morning?

T-Mobile must be working fast and furious as the year winds down and they try to make good on their promise of 200 million customers covered by 3G goodness. Currently sitting at 187 million, the announcement of Cary, Fayetteville and Wilmington, NC will bring that total up a little more. Not to be forgotten of course is Tulsa, OK who after a false alarm yesterday has gotten the official green light today. Sound off below and tell us how you are enjoying your early holiday gift!

Update: Tulsa looked to be a false alarm, Grand Rapids you are golden!
While the Google Phone may be the dominant story in the days to come, let us not forget that there are other happenings in the Magenta world. Ask the folks in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Tulsa, Oklahoma who have stormed my inbox this morning with reports of active 3G service. No word yet as to whether these are official launches so the service could turn itself off just as quickly but for now, judging by volume, residents and customers of these cities have a new reason to rejoice this morning.

T-Mobile has been on fire recently with its 3G madness, and has added quite a few cities to the 3G bandwagon. With HSPA 7.2Mbps less than 3 weeks away, T-Mobile is making sure everyone enjoys 3G goodness this holiday season. Recapping the recent 3G launches that we informed you about ahead of time, have now been officially blessed with 3G, with the exception of Louisville which seems to be delayed. Congratulations and welcome to T-Mobile 3G to the lucky folks in:
*Cincinnati, OH
*Fort Collins, CO
*Tyler, TX
*Longview, TX
*Chesapeake, VA
So how’s 3G going for you guys?

Well now, this sure is interesting. Motorola in an attempt to capitalize on its “we’re back” attitude given the recent success of the Droid is going to take a new approach, solve the homelessness situation, build a radio module capable of working on all HSPA frequencies in the United States. That means 3G devices that are capable of working on both AT&T AND T-Mobile. That’s just damn cool. Unfortunately though, as Engadget points out, Motorola isn’t building a device here, just the radio module that would go into devices conceivably manufactured by other companies globally. We have no idea what impact this could have on future devices or if it’s even likely to be adopted in the manufacturing process, but the idea, at first glance just seems awesome.
