T-Mobile flipping the 3G power switch May 1st in NYC?

We’ve got a couple tips on this, so…your day may have finally come, faithful T-Mobile 3Gers. If our tipsters are correct, (we’ve also confirmed this internally) T-Mobile will be launching their 3G data network May 1st in NYC. That’s Thursday for all y’all that don’t use a calendar. We can’t imagine New York City would be the only city in the country (even though it’s the best city) to receive the special 3G treatment on day one, but then again, who knows with T-Mobile. Did you just hear that? The sound of thousands of T-Mobile subscribers smashing their phones because they don’t know if they have 3G chips in them or not? If this is infact true, we should be seeing a bunch of 3G phones start popping up, and I’m betting those new Sidekicks are 3G as well…
Thanks, Nick F., and all of our other secret sources!



Finally!!!
Freaking awesome… now give us some WinMo 3G smartphones!!! With teh quickness!!!
This must be Dave or Steve, who else would bless windows mobile?
(even though it’s the best city)
Yes! *dances in circle*
Since when does NYC have trees, ahh who cares we got 3G. TMO holla at your boyz! WHOOP WHOOP
NYC aka Liberty City lol…

probably these 3G phones will be swiped out in NYC…
Finally , DO u think we’ll get video calling now ?
anyone wanna play catch up with Europe ?
3G, but who has a 3g capable phone from T-Mobile?
Tmo has a few 3G handset already out
Nokia 3555
Nokia 6263
Samsung t639
Samsung t819
at least I have
nokia 6263
the fastest tethering phone, even with EDGE
Your welcome for the info, I will try and keep it updated as more launches are announced.
and first HSDPA phone, SE Z780, will come July
Think maybe that HTC announcement is tied into the 3G rollout. I’d bet ya!
Also, what is the coverage in mileage for 3G launches typically? Will surrounding cities for the launch get service?
Whoohoo finally they get the ball rolling
I just ordered the Pearl 8120…damn do I need to return it?
Just one more reason to live in New York City!
I’d like to solve the puzzle, Pat.. “GIMME A JAILBROKE 3G IPHONE”
Im more excited that people can stop complaining about Tmobile not having 3g. All we need is some more good phone and Tmobile will be the place to go. Imagine all the more people that will buy a 3g iphone and use it with Tmobile
i hope this is true! been holding off from swithch to sprint for a long time now. hopefully the pricng is right otherwise i will probably leave anyway and go enjoy the cheap sprint sero plan or their new unlimited everything plan.
The iPhone will NOT have t-mo 3g.
A jail-broke 3G iPhone wouldn’t work with TMO as they have a different band of spectrum _ AWS band compared to ATT !just wait and watch till June !
Wish the Xperia would come to tmobile.
have the n95-1 and it occasionally sees the 3G network for TMO but no reception. wonder if this one will work. in southern california/orange county area here.. c’mon TMO
Rosario, you sound like you have no idea what your talking about. The iPhone will haev AT&T 3G bands, not T-Mobile 3G bands. What are you doing even commenting on this topic?
