Now wouldn't you think all who pays for full internet access be able to achieve 3G internet! If your phone have edge then tuneup by Tmobile would require your phone to jump .5G right? Many HTC unlock phones come standard 3G including its very own Tmobile Wing. Too bad it runs GPRS/EDGE/WiFI... 3G access is a service that is suppose to replace 2.5G edge!

They had initially set it up in NYC but I assume that with the launch of the 3G phone they will do it nation wide. I could be wrong and misread the document.
