Does anyone have any insight on when T-mobile is going to release 3G in other markets like Miami other then just NY???

I just spoke to T-mobile and ofcourse they have no info, they just keep saying sometime in the future....

My future is going to be AT&T if nothing happens soon...

With T-mobile's 3G HSDA I hear it is different than AT&T's freq. Does this mean when the bold comes out with AT&T I cant unlock it and use it on T-Mobile's network???

Correct. Wrong frequencies. T-Mobile's AWS is going to be 1700/2100 MHz. No one else uses this yet. In fact, right now T-Mobile barely uses it!

That is correct, T-mobiles network is a hybrid of 1700mhz and 2100mhz, ATT is on different frequencies.

Is there anyway that I could buy a Iphone or BB from Europe with 02 or Vadaphone that would be on HSDA so I could use it here unlocked since the above posts wont work? Any help would be appreciated.

[gbnemail07]

this is not going to affect my 8320 correct? Also, when signing up for the data plan, is this going to cost more money for 3G?

[wayneholbrook]

Is there any other carriers in the world that use the same freq as t-mobile will be using in the USA fro 3G? I need some advised.....I have a curve 8320 with tmo, I also want the new Iphone with at&t. I was going to un lock it and use it on tom but im told it work work in 3g because of the different freq. So i was wondering if I can buy the new iphone outside of the US with a carrier that has the same freq as tmo does here..Help me out????

Unfortunately not. As stated before, T-Mobile is the only wireless company that will be using the 1700/2100 MHz band. No other phone has these bands available other than the ones that T-Mobile has released themselves. The only devices that I know coming out soon supporting the T-Mo 3G bands is the Sony Xperia X1 and the Bold.

Don't some 3g phones support multiple signals? I thought I heard someone playing with the Tmo 3g network with a Nokia phone.

Yes, the Nokia 6263 supports T-Mobile's 3G bands. But they were only released by T-Mo to my knowledge. And the devices that support other 3G bands are generally 1900/2100 Mhz and not the 1700/2100 Mhz that T-Mobile has. It has to be built with that antenna set.

[wayneholbrook]

Which band is faster or better? or is it all the same?

[jovanthakid]

im clueless....will the 8700 i got unlocked for tmo be useful?
