tmobile launch 3g august 1st?
yesterday i talked to a tmobile rep and they said that the samsung t639 is due out on the 1st of august..im wondering will they launch the 3g network also.
...
The t639 is only EDGE, so the 3g network is definitely not launching Aug 1st. The first 3g phone, a rumor btw, for T-Mobile will be the Moto Q9h.

T-Mobile is *definitely* getting the Q9h? Sweet! 😁

Hmmm, I would have to say your all wrong.
Its pretty simple really, at my store we have a nice pamphlet from Samsung showing most of the new Samsung phones coming out this quarter. It does infact include the T639. Now this is where it gets fun, it compares all the features of all the phones. One of those comparisons is the fastest data speed on the phones, and *gasp* the T639 is listed as EDGE. Considering this information is from Samsung themselves, showing the T-Mobile branded 639, I'm pretty confident that unless they change it at the last minute, the 639 is not going to be 3g.

It's 3G. T-Mobile didn't put 3G, since they don't have 3G turned on. The 3G is on the phone, but its not enabled in the menu. Phonescoop even said that the phone has 3G, since it was supposed to have EDGE, but T-Mobile sent it back to Samsung to have 3G put on it.

The FCC today has re-approved the Samsung T639. The model was originally approved as a quad-band GSM phone, however that approval was revoked and now the phone has been re-approved with WCDMA 1700 support. Support for this band as well as the model both indicate the phone is destined for T-Mobile USA. The T639 appears to be a clamshell phone with quad-band GSM/EDGE and Blueto...

Wait till it releases. You forget a few facts, the FCC still aproved the original version. And second, T-Mobile 3g chips are Qualcomm, meaning it cant be imported at this time. The first T639 to launch will be EDGE, but they will probably release the 3g version after the ban gets overturned or Qualcomm settles with Broadcomm. T639s, or something of the sort.

The US International Trade Commission (ITC) today issued a ban on the import and sale of all new 3G phones using Qualcomm's chips. The ban comes as a result of a patent dispute with Broadcom, which Qualcomm recently lost. This ban will halt the release of all new CDMA models as well as any WCDMA or HSDPA models that use Qualcomm chips. Carriers will be able to continue selling previously launched models, including replenishing stock of them. Updated: Until this dispute is settled, carriers will only be able to launch new phone models that have already been imported into the US in final versions ready for sale. Import of new phone models is banned, however, Cingular c...

But the edge t639 was revoked. Meaning its been unapproved. But the 3g one was approved. But i understand what your saying about the 3g chips. That samsung a727 must have been shipped b4 the ban.

I think it's hilarious when someone sounds so smug and ****y in a post and then they're proven wrong. LOL. 😁
...
I wasnt proven wrong. He just mearly pointed out one piece of the puzzle that made him look right.
...
??????????what do you mean u wasnt proven wrong. you said that it was EDGE only right. Well what he or she posted clearly says that it is also 3G.
...
It's even funnier when said person won't admit he was wrong or proven wrong. lol. 🙂

Are you really that dense?? Or just stupid.
First Qualcomm 3g chips are BANNED from the US. Samsung uses Qualcomm.
Second the T639 got "RE"-approved, meaning that the original design without 3g can still be built.
So one phone cannot be legally sold in the US till Qualcomm settles with Broadcomm. One phone can, hmmmm I wonder which one they will release.
Like I said, when everything is all settled, the T639 with 3g will be refit with an acronym or a similar model number. But as for the one releasing next month, it will be EDGE only, unless T-Mobile wants to be fined out the ass.
If you continue to ignore the apparent facts, then you just prove your williness to be ignorant just to have the feeling that you proved someone wrong...

...........i understand what your saying, but the 1st approval was revoked. Then they approved it again. Meaning its only 1 verson thats approved.
...
True, I see what your saying. I wonder if they got the old version re-approved. They sent out brouchers about it a few weeks ago, and I already have accessories for the phone. It looks like a definate August release, and with Verizon pulling out from defending Qualcomm, I doubt the ban will be overturned in August.
