*sigh* Really?
Please read the entire thread before posting.
T-MOBILE'S 3G HAS DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES THAN EVERY OTHER CARRIER IN THE WORLD
WORLD - 1900/2100MHZ
T-MOBILE U.S. - 1700/2100MHZ
THE UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD FREQUENCIES NEED TO MATCH FOR 3G TO WORK. SO T-MOBILE U.S. WOULD ALREADY HAVE TO HAVE BOLD TEST UNITS WITH THEY'RE 3G FREQUENCIES. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE OUT IN THE FIELD, AND ONLY THREE MARKETS HAVE 3G.
THEY ARE ANNOUNCING 3G ON OCT. 1ST, NOT LAUNCHING. THEY WILL BE ROLLING IT OUT OVER 4Q OF THIS YEAR. AND NO THEY ARE NOT LAUNCHING THE BOLD IN 4TH QTR. 1-2Q 2009 AT THE EARLIEST.

So an executive that makes $250k a year whispered information that violates the NDA and would get here fired to you to distribute that information out into the wild.
T-Mobile is getting the Bold, that was announced months ago at WES this year. RIM said they would be building a Bold with 1700/2100MHz frequencies (T-Mobile U.S.).
Here are the 3G devices:
1) G1 (Android)
2) Samsung F480 (Tocco)
3) Sony Ericcson TM506
4) Sony Ericcson XPERIA X1
There you go. T-Mobile U.S. IS NOT GETTING THE BOLD THIS YEAR.
