T-Mobile flipping 3G switch in Chicago tomorrow?

We’ll keep this short, but we just got a tip from a pretty reliable source of ours that claims T-Mobile will be flipping the 3G power switch tomorrow in the Metropolitan Chicago area. 1700MHz goodness for all 7 of you that have 3G-enabled T-Mobile phones, possibly starting tomorrow.

Thanks, K.!

    I love living in Chicago, just sucks that I cant benefit from this.

    Tmobile, you have 2 yrs to get some better phones or idk if I can stay with you. (I say that now, but I’ve been with Tmobile for 4 going on 5 yrs, im not going anywhere)

    this is in line with what i was told by a tmo rep in early june, “chicago 3G to be switched in july 08″.
    i think they’ll introduce new 3g phones only when they have more markets turned on 3g. doesn’t make business sense to bring new phones only for 2 cities.

    Just more to add to the rumormill:

    TMO rep at a Chicago retail store told me (just now) the 3G network is supposed to be turned on sometime during July 2008, probably the end of the month.

    He also said the RIM Bold phone would be the first BB with 3G support and they don’t expect it until September of 2008.

    Well I take the BNSF train into the city every day. About 4 or 5 weeks ago I noticed some areas around Hinsdale & I294 that were always working at EDGE speed had dropped back to G speeds. And within the last 2 weeks the EDGE has returned but I’ve been loading webpages much more quickly. I know EDGE isn’t the same as HSDPA, but either capacity was added or an upgrade to towers is helping older EDGE run just faster? I’ve noticed this same thing along other areas of the BNSF line closer to the city.

    Tmobile simply delivers fewer of my SMS messages than any other carrier.
