LoL, I don't know, if Wimax is the way they describe it, I don't know if we'll need anything faster. :lol:

Here's a non-broken link. http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireles s/TMobile-Moves-to-3G/ But as Roadkill pointed out, the article is two years old but it does ring true. He's also correct about "The Deathstar" having those speeds already in many markets but it's usually up to those speeds as there are so many AT&T users with 3G handsets gobbling up the bandwidth, I've never seen anyone here in the North West get faster than 1.5 Mbps and even those speeds are a rare occasion and I realize ...

BoyGenius Reports and other sites have been reporting on this model since April. I suppose it's news now that it's "official" and it looks like a cool little "entry smart phone" if I ever saw one. I think I'll get one for my mom and hold out for the G1. (or the HTC Dream or the GPhone or the "first android device" or whatever you'd like to call it.) At least it and the X1 are confirmed to have ...

Does "Open Network" also include them spying on their customers for the NSA?

In a way. They're auto-blocked on T-Mobile's Flex-Pay (even free one's) and if you call and ask, they will block all of them for free. I'm not sure about other providers.

I heard that OnStar and ADT alarm systems would be affected by this as some of their services still used the AMPS technology but I'm sure they've taken measures to avoid issues. They have enough time after all.

in the Article: T-Mobile Adds to 3G Lineup with Nokia 6263 forum

In some areas, yes. T-Mobile purchased new spectrum in areas they don't currently have but one will need a 3G device to take advantage of those areas. Plus, their merger with Suncom should be complete by the end of Q1 so that will be added coverage as well. They have a lot of catching up to do in that area but I think it will please all of their customers once fully deployed. I'm just hoping the delay means ...

AT&T Wireless had something like this a few years ago..

AT&T Wireless, not "The New AT&T," had a similar app in 2003 on my Nokia 3200. It was okay and worked with MapQuest from the "M-Life" menu. It cost $6.00/month so this is a better price. It did save me once when I was lost in Nashville, TN. Once Cingular came about, it vanished. This is running great on my BlackBerry Curve from T-Mobile but if my Bluetooth is on, it tries to pair with a GPS device and ...

A faster processor would be nice too. It's a "Windows Mobile Samsung Blast" with a nicer camera and a prettier finish. Some may like it, but I'll stick with my Curve. 8)

I see what you mean as all the other carriers are doing great with their UMA service and it is true that T-Mobile is behind on sharing their customer's CPNI with 3rd party ad agencies. :o

in the Article: T-Mobile's 3G Delay Government Related forum

Long Term Evolution, it's the fourth generation of GSM technologies. Wikipedia and HowStuffWorks have great articles on it. Very cool especially now that VZW is choosing it. This means that in the U.S.A, Verizon could very well be a roaming partner of T-Mobile and AT&T in the future rather than Sprint. This would be a great thing for us consumers in theory. They could charge an arma nd a leg for it though. 8)

T-Mobile's would work in Japan on wifi but of course you have to get a UMA handset. This is a cool direction for Sprint to go in though.

Is that a typo? I though T-Mobile was the exclusive Hotspot provider for Starbucks and Borders books and AT&T has a contract with Barnes & Noble. /;| Does this mean T-Mobile is making money off of the iPhone without having a deal with Apple? Truly the "Jesus Phone." :P

It's got new feature with email. It uses T-Mobile's sms/mms plans for the email feature so don't have to have a data or Black Berry plan to send and receive emails, just a messaging plan. :D

Not to worry you but I believe that they laid off approx. 5000 workers. They weren't dealers as far as I know. Probably TDMA field techs and the like. It's the most horrible suprise to get. I worked for AT&T Wireless and found out here on PhoneScoop that we were being purchased before hearing anything at work. They kept referring to it as a "merger" although that wasn't exactly the case. Cingular was moving in a direction I personally ...

True, Department of Justice and the Security and Exchange Commission handles antitrust/monopoly stuff, not the FCC. I wonder if it's because both departments have HUGE accounts with AT&T/Cingular for their BlackBerry Enterprise service?? :wink:

As far as I know, Verizon doesn't and I definitely know T-Mobile doesn't. I was actually shocked when I found out AT&T did this, LTV or not, that's pretty lame. Also saw on AT&T's site that there's a 10% restocking fee if you return the iPhone with the box open within the 14 day buyer's remorse. So a $50.00 fee just to try it out. This phone better come with three wishes too! :D Any word on AT&T ...

Considering it's a GSM model and I would think Cingular wouldn't want to compete with their own iphone, that just leaves T-Mobile...maybe. Or Cingular/AT&T may offer a more affordable alternative to the Apple product...we'll see.

The Sidekick works differently than other devices as well. I uses a "relay service" so the info and the OS are virtually on the device. Basically, all of your games, emails, messages, contacts, ringtones and pictures are constantly being backed up on what they call the "Danger Server." The main advantage is that if you ever lose your device or if it's stolen, all your info is wiped clean of that Sidekick once the device is shut off and ...

At first I thought this was a good idea and part of the target market would be the hearing impaired as many of them us Sidekicks but have no need for BlueTooth or MP3's but I've no idea why they didn't include a camera, even a simple VGA one. Kind of a bummer. /;|

Actually, that isn't true at all. T-Mobile only has roaming agreements with Cingular/AT&T in a handfull of States. There are more than two GSM carriers in the USA. If you want to see honest network representation w/o roaming partners, look at the maps at http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_u s.shtml and you'll see that Cingular does have more towers, but they don't own "65% of T-Mobile's network."
