There are a couple 3G capable Tmobile phones availabe so Im guessing that a 3G launch should closely follow. Any word on an official launch or is Tmob still waiting on the GOV to vacate thier spectrum.

I caught suspected 3G with 6263 in Lower Manhattan area

if you have 6263 tethered, go to WTC area to check out

Thanks. I dug up the AWS archive and checked it out. Hopefully Denver will be one of the initial markets they launch 3G in. ATT people had to wait too long here to get 3G.

In some places it should be imminent as they have already have infrastructure and put the spectrum in those areas. Perhaps they are waiting for the government or some more tests. I have not checked with them but a while ago, few months ago, they were almost ready to launch.
