May 2, 2008, 1:41 PM by Eric M. Zeman
T-Mobile will launch its W-CDMA 3G network beginning next week. The company will make a formal announcement and provide details on what markets the network will initially be available in. T-Mobile will also spell out which devices can access the 1700 MHz AWS spectrum the company purchased from the FCC in August 2006. The company said that both voice and data services will be supported on its 3G network at launch.

Sweet, Austin is on the list. Now I just need to find some unlocked S60 phones that can use AWS.

Why isn't Albuquerque on the list?
Of course, I am with AT&T, however, it would seem strange that T-Mo wouldn't launch 3G in ABQ, as there are still considerably more T-Mobile users in ABQ than AT&T users, although that is slowly balancing out now....

That is not a city list, it is a market list. Surrounding cities could be included. Telling people that it is a city list gives them the impression that those are the only cities that will launch 3G.
Major abscences include:
Albuquerque, NM (mentioned this in a previous post)
Virginia Beach/Norfolk, VA
Jacksonville, FL
Pittsburgh, PA
Baltimore, MD
Richmond, VA
Also, there are a few markets where they still need to integrate the SunCom c...

Thanks!
Thanks!
i just want to know...
t mobile have very cheap plans compared to some other providers. but what is the downside of having t mobile?
TM does not really have any downside, they are a great company that provides great service and now they 3G. All they need now is more HTC products and we will be good to go.

Mmmm lets see... Sprint wireless has been around since the year, oh, 1986.
T-mobile? oh. 2001. I'd say Sprint had a little head start on T-mobile eh?

do you know what 3G looked like then?
big phone
power hungry (1200mA/h offers an hour of talking)
very expensive (forget about unlimited data)
now 3G is very affordable broadband alternative

it's worth to wait
it looks T-Mobile has done a decent job to prepare 3G rollout
the coverage is almost complete in NYC (at least everywhere I am), the connection is alot more stable (perhaps it's still in early stage, only a few users on 3G)
it's worth to wait
I never used at&t UMTS, that I can't compare, but it's as good as CSL in Hong Kong

What's CSL? How fast is that technology?

w00t w00t......READ THIS!!!
We had long ago bought and paid for the spectrum. Setup the antennas...just had to wait for the government to get off the channels. I mean its the government what can u do ya know. I'm very glad to hear about this none the less. It's about time. I have a lot of customers who ask about 3G.
And now you can tell them you have it! (As you pull out your 4g phone, branded by a different carrier) 😲
FINALLY!
Just in time for me to get a a high speed 3G iphone, without the crappy AT&T service!
Seriously though, this is great news for TMO, and for their customers. I can't believe the government made us all wait this long though! 2 years, but finally we have 3G.
As far as I'm concerned this will put TMO up there with the two big ones... Hell, I've been of that opinion for a while though I guess... they may not have the most customers, but they are number 2 and number 1 rated respectively by consumer reports and jd powers. so now they will rock even more.

You do realize that the 3G iPhone will not work on the 1700MHz bands that T-Mobile uses for 3G, right?
