Considering they have yet to launch an actual functioning 3G network, T-Mobile is certainly spending a significant amount of energy securing 3G capable handsets. Upcoming network launch, anyone? Lord, we hope so. The latest to land on our shores a Nokia handset with the model designation of RM-407. The handset is tricked out with quad-band GSM radios and also sports UMTS support for the 1700 and 2100 MHz bands. It also sports Wi-Fi, making it a potential Hotspot@Home candidate. No images or further information at the moment, but there’s generally not a ton of lag time between FCC approval and product availability, so we wouldn’t be shocked to see this in the near future. That pesky network, however, is anyone’s guess.

n series phone?? On another note, will T-Mobile have a native 2100MHz network that unlocked phones with a 2100MHz antenna can access?

Probably not, they didn’t win any 2100 spectrum in the AWS auction but unlocked phones w/ that band may be able to roam off of AT&T in some areas.

I believe the 2100MHz spectrum (T-Mobile) is not really 2100 but slightly off that, which means it will not be compatible.

some more discovery, by FCC documentation
1. it has sister model “RM-357″
2. it uses BP-4L, and it’s used by Eseries phone, then it may be another Eseries phone, and it may be qwerty Eseries, because the battery is too large for regular T9 models

T-Mobile will use AWS for 3G. Thats the 1700/2100 band which means all euro 3g phones working on the 2100 band will not work with T-Mo 3G. If the phone has 3G on 850/1900, then it can roam on ATT 3g
