Mobile broadband is a wonderful and glorious invention, giving us the ability to surf the Internet while on the go. This is great not only for smartphones, but also for 3G-connected laptops and netbooks too. The trouble is that the speed offered by today’s 3G networks still isn’t as fast as what we would get through a conventional DSL or Cable connection. That may soon be changing.

We know that network speeds are being bumped up all the time, but it seems that T-Mobile is ready to really push the envelope with its 3G network. More specifically, T-Mobile USA says that its HSPA+ 3G speeds will be getting ramped up significantly in the next year or so, hitting the 21Mbps range at some point in 2010.

To put that in

My friend Corbin, in Las Vegas, who owns a MyTouch claims he's getting speeds above 7mbps on Tmo's 3G network.

Hmm, I really wonder how accurate his results are. Any MyTouch owners live in Las Vegas getting speeds above 7mbps?

This is kind of funny in my case. 🤣
I just convinced a co-worker who's with TMO to get the myTouch because TMO just recently fired up 3G in our neck of the woods and I wanted to see if it'd work at work. So I told him about the myTouch, he wanted something like the Behold. 😕
So I should get to play around with a new myTouch Sunday at work, if I like it and it get's 3G reception I might pick one up and the $100 off just sweetens the deal.
Don't know if I should tell my co-worker about the coupon... 😛

I miss having good voice quality and solid coverage. I never should have left for AT&T in 2007. Big mistake on my part. Big, big mistake.

Anybody willing to shell out the whopping $650 for this pocket sized laptop? I swear if this thing had 850/1900 3G,...like it !!SHOULD!! I'd probably wait for the price to dip below $600 and get it. This sure is one heck of an impressive device.

Kinda hard to find much of anything wrong with it, huh?

Ok, so some clown down the hall from us in another T-Mobile indirect kiosk, is telling people that the MyTouch is not the G2, that the "G2" will actually be released later this year. I know this because they come to our stand and tell us about it.

This guy says it has all kinds of crazy crap like Blu-Ray compatibility and stuff like that.

I did a search for "T-Mobile G3" and I found a few tidbits of info that coincide with what this guy might be saying. Supposedly, it would be made by Huawei, who I have heard of, but I think Hell might freeze over before T-mobile would carry a phone by that manufacturer, since they haven't before, and they only really carry Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola (LOL), HTC, you know.. all the standard things...

😡 I'm really sick & tired of people always playing the victim role! First of all we need to realize that we have options! We also need to realize that BBB is for SERIOUS issues not because you have a 5th grade education & you're trying to use a complex phone (ie: G1). Yes, I work for a major Cell Phone provider. I will be the first to admit they are NOT perfect. But I am also a consumer & have had my dealings with several different companies. They all have one issue or another! None are perfect & nor will they ever be. I am a Customer Service Representative & I know that I am polite & courteous to each & every person I deal with. I can not say the same for them. A lot of people are foul mouthed, ignorant & well, just plain stupid! If you do...

I just got an email in my inbox:
"Since the announcement of the paper bill fee, we've heard everything from kudos to concerns about the move to paperless – especially from our customers who today are receiving paper bills at no charge.



As a result, we have decided to not charge our customers a paper bill fee for now. Instead, we'll be taking more time to determine the fairest way possible to encourage customers to go paperless.

"

Hooray!!

can you purchase the 8900 from t-mobile without getting the data plan? I tried and the sales rep told me they arent allowed to sell it without the data plan. is this true and if so, is there a way around it? i want the phone but i do not need the data plan. Any info is appreciated. thanks

According to the specs of the phone, it does offer WCDMA 1700/2100, so does this mean that I can finally get an N-series that will be 3g on Tmo?

I was looking at the Samsung T659 in a T-Mobile corporate store in a western suburb of Chicago, but it is not listed on this site. A phone is usually listed on here long before it is released, who dropped the ball on this one?

has jessie james and that's good enough for me... unfortunately they put whoopie goldbooger on there and it sort of put the site back at square one, I love t-mobile, I think J. james is pretty cool and says stuff then does it. I don't like that creepy lady with gross hair. The random guy on the site is weird, don't care for him at all.

This is my story, I love you t-mobile.

I WAS CHECKING OUT SOME BLOGS AND I FOUND OUT T-MOBILE WILL BE RELEASING A BLACKBERRY WITH 3G AND WI-FI!!! ITS THE BB 9700 CODENAME DRIFTWOOD...SOME ARE CALLING IT THE T-MOBILE BOLD BUT ITS MORE LIKE A TOUR, NOW THE COOL THING IS THAT IT COMES W/THE OPTICAL TRACKPAD LIKE THE 8520, RELEASE DATE IS RUMORED Q4 THIS YEAR 😁

When is T mobile going to build out their 3G network in Oklahoma I live in Enid and I must say their EDGE coverage sucks here everyone else here has rolled out their 3G network which we have about five carriers. I am very disappointed with T mobile for the lack of advancement here. I've noticed they have been building out their voice coverage in western Oklahoma but they are still running GPRS over much their network unless you go to a big city. ☹️

Amazon has the HTC TP2 for $150 with contract.

My wife really wants one but I was told tmobile doesnt let you use the 3g speeds. Is this true? Also how about mms, has this been fixed yet? And last question I live in Phoenix, how is tmobile's service here, we currently have alltel and service was great, we are not looking forward to becoming verizon people.

My friend said she got a phone through T-Mobile for 39.99 national unlimted minutes- data and text are extra. Does this plan really exist???? how can i get it??

I have a Lexus RX350 and a G1...OK so you got that already...but I am having problems getting my address book into the car phone.
I did read on another forum something about naming the phone before syncing it. Haven't had luck with that though.
Anyone have this problem or any suggestions for me about this will be so appreciated.

Anyone have any Idea when Sony Ericsson CS8 is being released? I read it was supposed to be released in June/July. AT&T already have their version. Will T-Mobile's version have android?
