Samsung Galaxy S III (T-Mobile)
HSPA+ on all bands?
Does anyone know if HSPA+ is available on all bands? I am considering buying this phone full price from T-Mobile, unlocking it and using it on AT&T until I can get off-contract.
...
Bad news... the specs are wrong:
UMTS 850 / AWS / 2100
So if you're in an AT&T area with HSPA+ in the PCS band you're SOL.

I think you, sir, are the one who is mistaken.
According to T-Mobile themselves, this is what the phone is capable of:
Network
3G/4G Capable
Band I (UMTS 2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100/AWS), Band V (850)

From the T-Mobile website:
UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS: Band V (850)

I think thats wrong. I am pretty sure that it does include WCDMA 1900. It wouldnt make sence if it didnt, with T-Mobile moving the 1900 to their 3g/4g network for when they deploy lte.
...
The FCC approval is quite clear that the phone was designed and approved for WCDMA/HSPA+ in the 850, 1700, and 1900 bands. Unless T-Mobile has weirdly disabled one - and there's no good reason they would - it should work well on all three of those bands in the U.S.
