WCDMA 1700 listed in the specs.... I would be absolutely astounded if T-Mobile picked this one up. 😲

yeah, I might switch if that happens 🙂
Or maybe just Nokia rolled a dice and chose one of the US 3G networks. I guess the problem is that there are no quad-band 3G chips available yet?

I've heard people say that many times but there is really no hope in TMO picking this up. TMO likes to hack up phones until it barely resembles the original unlocked version. With a Linux OS, unless they started removing hardware too, they wouldn't be too successful.

No... I'm not confused. AT&T uses WCDMA 850Mhz/1900Mhz frequency band for 3G. T-Mobile devices use the WCDMA 1700Mhz/2100Mhz frequency band for 3G and it is specific to T-Mobile. You will not be able to roam with your T-Mobile 3G device on another carrier's 3G network. Check the specs on any 3G phone for either network. Google frequency bands for each 3G network. Go to TMO or AT&T 3G FAQ pages.

Yea was thinking it was a different thread. 😁 It's common for carrier to disable third party apps. and other functions of phones that they do not approve of. A lot of times features that are available on an unlocked phone are not there on branded phones. What people call dumb phones are capable of doing what most smart phones can in unlocked versions. If you need an example the 5610 would be a good one of hardware and software changes. And like I said TMO has had no plans on picking this up.
