I also have a Motorola Razr V3X that I used to use on Tmo and it is a 3G capable phone, but it was meant for 3 Networks in Singapore. When I used it, it would fluctuate between 2G and 2.5G (Icon status).

are GSM-based Blackberry devices 3G-Capable ? What's the situation on Verizon's 8800, is that 3G capable ? I know it's a dual use CDMA/GSM phone.
None of T-Mobile BB is 3G capable. T-Mobile has been so busy to implement 3G systems and expect them to roll out at end of this year or early next year. Of course the cell phones have to be a 3G capable.

Here is a further detail about T-Mobile's future 3G network.
