The conference event has not been confirmed, but this announcement is imminent since T-Mobile is lacking other major mobile carriers in rolling out 3G in the US. Currently, GPRS/EDGE data is being offered, running on the average of 50-150kbps with EDGE and less than 50kbps with GPRS. Remember T-Mobile got the top spot in the recent FCC radio spectrum auction, successfully bidding 4.2 billion dollars for over 100 licenses. Sources say they will implement UMTS with the 1700 and 2100MHz frequency, which will be different from other countries."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Jerry-teaser_t-mobile.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />High speed is coming to T-mobile. As pointed out this of course means new devices will be required but like all of us here, I love getting new devices. Now we just need Cingular to get on with it!
