Though I like my TMobile Dash 3G, the difference in speed compared to my buddy's old iPhone 3G on ATT is just sad. Even worse, my girlfriend has Verizon (EVDO), which simply destroys either 3G network. If Verizon offered a good Windows-based smartphone, I'd switch tomorrow.

I went to a local TM store in May told them I wanted to use my phone as a modem to get internet access to my laptop. No problem they say. They tell me its pretty slow (between DSL and dial-up). We'll trust me its 1/2 the speed of dial-up. But they tell me to hold on for a couple months until 3G rolls out in my area (Houston, Tx). So I waited and waited...... then finally a TM rep tells me yesterday thats its been out in my area since Aug 08. WTF??? I ask whats the deal? Why is it still so dang slow? Well you need to have a special 3G capable phone. Then why didnt anyone tell me this a couple months ago when i just bought some crappy phone to handle internet access to my laptop & now I'm stuck with this phone for some crappy longterm period? Their reply "Uh, I'm sorry that happened to you".. Really? The only solution = buy a new 200-400 dollar phone and sign up for another 2 year contract..... No way jose. I'm canceling my acct and just let them try to get that 200 early termination fee. I feel like they committed fraud when they didnt give me all the information up front..... so T-Mobile can kiss my ars =) So use anyone besides Tmobile !!!!!!! I seriously hate T-Mobile.

These blogs SHAPE THE PERCEPTION of these companies and are very influential to a lot of people. And with that being said, it has to be kept professional and reported accurately or else these sites will just become random places to read rumors.

It's our business and clearly the Voice and Data is working fine. I think the report is basically saying T-Mobile will not have 3g Data as far as like an internet card for laptops for a while but last time I checked the voice and data capabilities of 3g go hand in hand! You AT&T people are just being nosey cause you really wanna be with us! You're just too broke to pay that termination fee because your bill is too high!

Lay off BoyGenius and Engadget. Internal T-mobile documents stated that customers should be told that 3G will be release as voice only. These documents definitely gave the impression that 3G will be only released as voice only.

Coverage and coverage type are the most important reasons TO SWITCH. TMO has the smallest coverage footprint of all of the big 4 carriers in the US. And as of today, still have NO 3G data anywhere. So who’s the idiot? Well, for some reason you like paying too much and BAD tech support! T-Mobile has good signal where ever I go and is always adding towers and 3G is starting now, is being rolled out slowly so has fewer problems! If I am an IDIOT you are something that cannot be mentioned. Don't take it personal, you can't help IT! Anyone who uses TMO is an idiot and you’ve just proved it.

Does BRG have something against TMo? I've been with them since Omnipoint days and I've been waiting for 3G for awhile..seems to be misinformation out..where's the Tmo rep to step in? lol So what’s the truth here?
