well they should include 850/1900 for 3g voice and data. unlike cdma, 3G umts includes both voice and data. so when tmo's new network rolls out, new handsets will be able to use umts 1700 for voice and data if 3G is available.

I'm not one of this people who want a phone for 99 cents. Heck the last 3 phones I bought I did so unlocked for $300-$500 each.
FYI, handsets are one thing T-Mob knows they loose money on, they are cool on it as long as accesories and feature sales are up!
If TMo can knock $100 off that price I'm still winning. I have been with them for 6 years now and I'm only frustrated with that part of them. I just want TMo to get a de...
