| Re: Where T-Mobile 3G is available 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. -- The "Lifetime" channel is responsible for 83% of all divorces...Robert Ginty | |

| Re: Where T-Mobile 3G is available said by whfsdude :Correct because TMO uses 1700mhz/2100mhz (AWS) 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)... -- [BQUOTE=[user=bicker]]Waaaa waaaa waaaa. You just want what you want and don't care to factor in what is right or true. Your perspectives are un-American, and deserve far more ridicule than I'm prepared to pile on them. [/BQUOTE] | |

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). | |

join:2004-10-12 Las Vegas, NV | 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. | |

| 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.
