T-Mobile taking 3G nationwide on October 1st?
Chalk this one up to the rumor mill for the time being, but rumbles on the street indicate that T-Mobile might be preparing to flip the switch on it’s national 3G network on the 1st of October. According to the source, the carrier will bring 3G data coverage to its 27 top markets, including the cities that have already benefited from the recent soft launch of the faster mobile data protocol. Sure, it’s a bit later than the other 3 major US carriers, but if T-Mobile uses their impending launch as an excuse to bring us some tasty new 3G-capable handsets, including their upcoming Android device by years end, we wouldn’t be disappointed in the least. We’ll work to dig out some more details on this one, but keep your fingers crossed, folks.
well have a good time w/ ATT n apple paying all the xtra fees n premium charges for the iphone. i bet it’ll cost u more for texting (no mms) with them, than to pay 15$ w/ tmo for all unlimited messaging. iphone is cool tho.

na wait till quarter 4 but the e8 is a pretty sweet phone though
yeah i now but then i dont know what is comin out q4 besides the android phones but i dont know what all they look like
Why it is that “writers” and “editors” do not yet know the (incredibly simple) difference between “it’s” and “its” continues to baffle me. (Hint: one is a contraction of “it is” and the other is a possessive pronoun; you should have learned this in first grade, and if not, as an “author/editor” you should consider the art of proofreading.)
Anyway, TMO 3G would be great. It would be even better if TMO actually had some ‘real’ smartphones on their network (the Wing!?!? give me a break). Why does TMO offer such a perpetually crappy selection of phones? Maybe the TMO execs spend more time worrying about their stock options than actually soliciting makers of contemporary smartphones.
My guess is that in Q1 09 they will offer an Android phone, albeit dressed in hideous blue or pink plastic. C’mon TMO, catch up with the 1990s already.
Another sucker takes the bait! LMAO
T-mobile 3g is a disappointment… all the good/cool phones either use 1900mhz and the world standard 2100mhz bands for 3G. T-mobile went with 1700mhz cutting out almost all 3G capable phones (iphone, htc touch cruise, etc…). Way to go T-mobile…
sooo the sony x1 will be on umts 1700 soo it might be coming when the 3g goes nationwide
I love Tmobile, but every since Nokia stop making the3650, it seems that tmobile has to phone selection. I have went thru 4 cheap phones, waiting on tmobile to get there act together. But it seems that are going to continue to offer the same no good selection. Tmobile you have one month to come up with some better phones else I”m outta here. Tmob’s Customer Service is not that good either. JT Powers needs to step down.
