I'd dispute that Chicago offering, at least on the south side. You see, this is how the FCC gets bad broadband coverage numbers.T-Mo covers in several spots in a major metropolitan area and then lists the city as covered. It's not, and T-Mos coverage here is non-existant. The FCC should hire the Verizon guy (metaphorically speaking) in order to scrutinize areas that are supposedly covered by all carriers, not just this s***ty company.

»compass.t-mobile.com should show you the data coverage for tmo's 3g network. The south side of chicago should be covered. There might be some weak spots, but it should be. And you are using one of tmobile's 3g phones right? (btw, most 3g phones from tmo will NOT show if your connected to 3g. I think one of the nokia's will if you update it with the nokia updater service and the tm506 is rumored to get the icons in the next update. (RUMOR). You have to do a speed test to see if you get 3g usually. ( text.dslreports.com/mspeed

Map of Chicago area. 3G is dark blue. Edge is light blue.

Correct because TMO uses 1700mhz/2100mhz (AWS)

T-Mobile 3G Map Is Their Wishful Thinking

Those maps might be indicative of their plans by the years end, or even next summer.

The GSM and EDGE coverage maps are actually quite accurate, with a little 'stretch the truth' in some spots, but I have traveled around a good deal of their supposedly covered UMTS/HSDPA 3G areas, and find it sporadic and unreliable.

Same deal with my Nokia 6263 AND my Sony-Ericsson TM-506.

I am referring to the Philadelphia market, which had 'already launched' within the past month.

A lot of their solid Blue areas are actually looking more like Swiss cheese, I think they figure if they turn up a few 3G sites in each market, they can call the market as 'being launched'.

Not so fast there T-Mobile, you still have a lot of work to do....

Re: Where T-Mobile 3G is available

LMAO!! They list Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Sunrise Manor, Spring Valley and Paradise as separate markets?!?! And before anybody says anything, yes I'm sure all the other carriers do it too, but it's still laughable nonetheless.

Which one where?

I have a HTC TyTn (quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/800/1800/1900
and tri band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100) and since AT&T's data speed now (since 3G iTards flooded in) constanly fucked up here (NYC) I'd gladly give TMO a try if I know they use 2100MHz here (I doubt though)...

Both. A 3g 2100mhz device will NOT receive 3g from tmobile because it needs the 1700mhz band too. Called aws.
I think it's 2100mhz downstream, 1700mhz upstream. It is special vs. the euro standard. The only 3g tmo devices are the ones they sell and 2 data cards sold by stelera wireless. That is all so far. No windows mobile, blackberry or sidekick.

You need both 1700/2100. One is the downlink and the other is the uplink (not sure which one).

Another reason they've been able to launch so many sites so quickly is because they actually have been building out the network and were just waiting for the government to clear AWS (which was overdue).

Similar (yet much better) than when AT&T rolled out its 3G, and claimed ~ a dozen or so cities in SoCal, most of them were adjacent to Los Angeles itself, and part of Los Angeles 'Metro' area. I'm pleased to see that for the most part, T-Mobile covered the area vs. launching a small area/city.

These can almost be considered Los Angeles (I suspect someday they'll all merge into one).
eg.
Burbank, CA
East Los Angeles, CA
Glendale, CA
Long Beach, CA
Los Angeles, CA
Norwalk, CA
Ontario, CA
Pasadena, CA
Pomona, CA

These are actually in a different county, but still in L.A. metro area.
