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.

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.

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.

To all T639 users [and anyone else who may know...]

It is possbile that T-Mobile is using the Samsung E490 as the T639 and will switch to the Samsung Z240 when they get 3G?

The E490 and Z240 are identile, except the Z240 has 3G w/ videocall camera instead of Edge w/o videocall camera like the E490, it’s slightly bigger and heavier, and has more internal memory…

Here they are:

If you work for tmobile, you would know the T639 is already for sale in Ny and California, and is also on eBay.

Again, I’ll believe this when I see it. And, I need a really nice WM6 3G phone to go with this Mr. Rogers Land of Make Believe 3G network T-Mo US is supposed to be announcing. On Dec. 6th we’ll see I 9th Wonder is the only Dream Merchant out.

I believe in the testing phase tmobile needed to test their network and at the time of testing ther wernt any phone manufactures making a 1700/2100 unts handsets.I can easily why an unlocked tilt would work but once 3g goes live I wouldn’t rely on an unlock 3G phone from ATT working with tmobile new 3g network

By: Dtest5477

Dtest5477 — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:42:05 +0000

T-Mobile will use UMTS on 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz;
ATT uses 850/1900. Correct me if im wrong so unlocked ATT 3G phones will not use Tmo 3G.

By: Glenn

Glenn — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:25:59 +0000

@Dtest5477-Thanks for the clarification lol. I havent heard anything about t-mobs using anything other than 1700/2100 for 3G either, so the tilt may display a 3G logo on the homescreen, but i doubt its getting 3G speeds

By: Dtest5477

Dtest5477 — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:03:12 +0000

Glenn, he’s just an attention whore that doesn’t care that people think he’s a moron who cant be bothered to spell.

Is Tmo still using different freq. than ATT? if so then why are you saying the Tilt can use Tmo 3G when it cannot?

I didn’t hear about tmobile making their nights/weekends early Oo;
With my favs though, who cares ?_?
Although these days I’m on a family plan and my unlimited mobile to mobile handles all of my massive calling.

I guess I’m one of the cheap-o’s still around. I was thinking about going to T-Mob but the nights at 9pm are a killer. Dec 6th they should announce 3G & Buydown nights & weekends. Then I’ll prob switch.

@Galvatron-Sorry-but what the hell is wrong with your keyboard/typing skills? just curious as to why no one can tell what it is your trying to say

tekneek: Get the Curve. you’ll love it.

Dand: I never said I would get rid of my “Jesus phone” for the 6263. I’d get the 6263 on my other line and keep my Curve on my dealer line.

Everyone else: Ok. I called my T-Mo rep to “confirm” this rumor. She said that 3g services will launch sometime next year (doesn’t know a timeframe). But is starting to release some 3g-capable phones before the initial launch.

wel that sim in the unlocked tilt was falged ith a ddtaplan. this could be possbilt tha tmobil is useing th 1900 an 2100 mhz frqencies if they feds ar still hogging the 17u00mhz

By: Hinano

Hinano — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 16:59:43 +0000

I have a T639 and I’m in NYC and nowhere on my phone does it say “3G”. I’m guessing in order to GET 3G they’ll have to send me a new simcard or something.
