Dash 3G is here
Agree. And frankly I am really surprised at how limited their 3g coverage is. Smart phones are becoming more popular by the day and to use those devices to their full potential, you really need the speeds that 3G provides. Verizon and AT&T are talking about going to "4G" technologies and bandwidth, yet T-mobil hardly ever rolled out 3G. I think they will very soon find themselves ranked with the regional carriers rather than the national ones because of this.
The total lack of 3G coverage and overall coverage issues in the area I now live will drive me to another carrier once my contract expires. I would love to have a G1, but without 3G there isn't any reason why I should.

I know, I would totally love an G1 but TMO's 3G doesn't cover my area. ☹️

Same here. What I don't understand is why they bother selling it in the stores, when the nearest 3G coverage is 200+ miles away. I've never seen a single person with one.
Reminds me of when I lived in Hawaii and I was in a store that sold XM and Sirius radio despite the fact the nearest foot-print for coverage was 4000+ miles away on the main-land.

I discovered my local TMO store (outside their 3G coverage) does a form of bait & switch. I played with a friend’s G1 at his place, well outside 3G coverage and was like wow this browser is pretty fast on EDGE. Then I realized it was running on Wi-Fi. Go to the TMO store, same thing…gee this phone is fast without 3G. Oh wait it’s running on Wi-Fi.
...
I honestly don't think it's going to be a good seller. It's only $10 less expensive than the G1 was when it first launched, and it's nothing all that special. It's a ramped up dash, and it looks sweet, but it's just too high a price point for something that doesn't really have a "WOW" factor like the G1, Mytouch 3G, or TouchPro2 will have.
