I'll be waiting to compare it with the Storm myself. The cheaper data price is attractive ($20 vs $30 on Vzn).

T-Mobile doesn't need a 3G phone? Are you out of your mind? They need a 3G phone now more than ever, which is why they launched (read: rushed) the G1. Many major metro areas have T-Mo 3G right now. If they don't now, they will in a few weeks to a few months.
The biggest thing T-Mobile has going for it is the price point. $60-70 for BlackBerry service with a decent amount of minutes is cheap when compared to all the other carriers. If the other 3 have 3G and T-Mobile doesn't, it's just that much of a harder sell.
The 8900 going to AT&T first makes sense. They have the Bold as their flagship, it'll be good for them to have a Curve replacement at a lower price point. I don't think we've seen a T-Mo branded 8900, have we? We've certainly seen an AT&T one though.
