My guess is probably not. Which means that suck just as bad as AT&T who stupidly rolled their our in most markets on 1900. I mean how stupid is that. NO ONE IN THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS EVER HEARD OF 1700, I mean this is crazy what the hell is going on here? If all this is true, the trend of screwing the US consumer will continue, and no one will know any different. The service should be available to UMTS 2100 only handsets right? Someone please tell me this is not just one big huge let down.

I imagine it will want to have 3G coverage in most major cities by then. T-Mobile is rumored to have the first Android phone, slated for release in Q4.

If the past is any indication, It will be quite a while before T-Mobile 3G is rolled out countrywide though. But even with 3G being rolled out by all the major carriers, we still lag far behind Korea, Japan etc in terms of mobile broadband speeds, coverage and options. But even baby steps like these are a tep in the right direction.

I could be wrong. Can anyone clarify on this? @Esme Vos

You say that there are four handsets that can be used with this network (Nokia 3555, Nokia 6263, Samsung t819 and Samsung t639). You mean my Nokia N95 can't use this 3G network? How can this be?
