Re: Who cares about 3G the idea is it works in 3g in the places MOST people aremost of the time...and if you venture into, say, north dakota, then it slows way down to the speed you are stuck with every day. And why would tmobile put caps on edge? you can't download fast enough to hit a cap anyhow. |

I guess there just aren't any people West of the Mississippi (except for right along the Pacific Coast). |

Hilliard, OH | I am still not understanding your point. Are you telling me your tmobile phone works EVERYwhERE in the US? It doesn't. I believe AT&T's GSM network is also bigger than Tmobile's. I will dig for some coverage maps but from personal experience I can tell you TMO's coverage in rural ohio is awful. |

said by beaups:I am still not understanding your point. The point of the article is that the iPhone has been unlocked, and can now be used on T-mo (at least in the US).
Some said that T-mo has worse 3G coverage that AT&T, and that the iPhone 3G won't work on T-mo 3G at all, because they use different frequencies.
And MY point is (that I thoroughly explained HERE) that even with no 3G, T-mo would be a better option.

you did, but the other problem is that tmobile also has WORSE GSM COVERAGE that AT&T. So no matter how you look at it, it works in LESS places. |

LMAO! That map you linked to looks to be from about 2004! Nice history lesson, though.
Maybe you should get information on T-mobile's coverage from T-mobile's webpage like I did. |

Compared to this. Even in your home state AT&T has more coverage. You pay more for better coverage.
Less coverage, less money. |
