Being the first carrier to launch a phone with the Android OS got T-Mobile lots of attention, though it also drew attention to the fact the carrier's 3G HSDPA network footprint was a little lacking. T-Mobile faced delays in getting the network up and running, and in 2008 blamed Uncle Sam for being slow to vacate the 1700MHz spectrum they purchased from the old fellow. They've since been playing catch up, and are doing a rather good job of it. Glenn Fleishman offers a good refresher on the company's plan to move quickly to HSPA 7.2, and ultimately to 21 Mbps service. HSPA+ should see deployment in 2010 on a "fairly broad-scale" basis, T-Mobile tells Fleishman.
