if you live in Tampa, St Pete, Orlando, Miami, West Palm Beach.... You'll soon have UMTS/HSDPA. Cingular is testing 3G in these markets. ๐
...
my RAE just told us in 2 weeks its gonna be in my market too. we have already had a few guys from the UMTS team come in our store and talk to us. ๐คค
...
My district manager told me today that we will have 3G at the beginning of October. Hopefully we do because i really want that LG CU500. ๐ BTW I am in Market 4 (Orlando).

Maybe sooner than that. You (Orlando) were supposed to deploy 3G a month ago....

Indianapolis has been testing for a few weeks as well. I have an LG cu500, so I'm hoping for the 3g to be fully released soon!!

First of all, welcome to phonescoop! I see that you're a newbie lol ๐ There's lots to learn...
3G
3G Stands for 3rd-generation. Analog cellular phones were the first generation. Digital phones marked the second generation (2G).
3G is loosely defined, but generally includes high data speeds, always-on data access, and greater voice capacity.
The high data speeds are possibly the most prominent feature, and certainly the most hyped. They enable such advanced features as live, streaming video.
There are several different 3G technology standards. The most prevalent is UMTS, which is based on WCDMA. (WCDMA and UMTS are often used interchangeably.) UMTS is the 3G technology of choice for most GSM carriers.
The othe...
