T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy S II Rates 42Mbps HSPA+ and 1.5 GHz Dual-Core S3 SnapDragon Processor
I have never understood
why T-mobile gets such awesome phones, yet their subscriber base continues to dwindle and they're facing a buy-out from ATT. Somebody somewhere is making money from these releases.

Yeah... compared to AT&T's version, this isn't even the same phone. How'd that happen? O.o

T-Mobile does lure in the customer with the nice phones but once they see how crappy the coverage is it's adios T-Mo! That's why they have such high churn. Phones are nice, rate plans are low and customer service is great.
Coverage is good in major cities and data speeds even rival Sprint's WiMAX at times considering it's only HSPA+. But the problem is when they outside the city T-Mo's coverage begins to get spotty. If T-Mo had the coverage Verizon had, they wouldn't be in trouble that they're in.

I agree with you for the most part, but on the West Coast T-Mo has a really strong coverage base. they are using the old AT&T wireless network that was sold to them by Cingular. I know in other parts of the country coverage is a major issue. Although Coverage is a major factor, a lot of T-mo customer's left for an I-phone also.

my coworker just got tmobile. when we compare signals at works, my att got 4 bar of hspa+, he got 1 bar of hspa+, and most of the time it just switch back to 2G EDGE where my att stays at hspa+ all the time. he going to cancel his tmobile and switch to att.

Nope. You named the wrong carrier.
T-Mobile's network in California and Nevada is built upon the former Cingular (née Pacific Bell) network, which is exclusively PCS 1900 MHz. Cingular sold the PacBell network to T-Mobile and retained the AT&TWS network, which is Cellular 850 MHz overlaid with PCS 1900 MHz.
As for coverage, yes, the old PacBell network is one of the most mature PCS networks in the country.

Guess it's all on where you live. Here in the SF/Bay Area, my coverage on TM is great...better than some of my friends on AT&T. Though I do admit when I get out in the boonies, it can get pretty scarce.
Not sure about the "churn", PhoneArena just posted this about 5-million + customer's renewing their contracts w/T-Mobile:
