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, T-Mobile CEO Neville Ray promised 208 million POPs and 300 markets in 2009, and it looks like they're keeping that promise. The carrier has launched 3G in over 150 cities since the beginning of this year, or a new city getting launched every day and a half. Their coverage map has struggled to keep pace.
