Could T-Mobile be poised to announce 3G on December 6th?

This could be the move that T-Mobile USA customers have been waiting for. According to anecdotal reports, the answer is yes. We’re calling "rumor!" on this one until further confirmation, but that won’t stop us from getting just a wee bit excited over the prospect. Apparently a company spokesperson, citing "internal documents," informed a customer that T-Mobile will be making an announcement about certain 3G services "on or before December 6th, 2007." Sounds a bit fishy to us, but we suppose time will tell. Lord knows a little high-speed data love could go a long way for the company’s customers who are still stuck on that ancient EDGE network. But again, we seriously doubt this.

    At least (according to Wikipedia) T-Mo’s 3G network will give us a max of 7.2 Mbps downstream HSDPA when it finally launches.

    If this is true, how long would it take for it to become nationwide. It seems even stories like this take years to implement everywhere. New York might get it first, then LA, then Miami, then 5 years later Chicago, then 10 years later Houston.
    I wont care about this until it happens.

    According to our resource at work, T-Mobile will be launching UMTS in Q3 of 2008. Not sure if it’s going to happen or not, I’ve seen a couple of our other plans not happen. I’m hoping the Android platform will be up and running good by the time this all happens though.
