T-Mobile already lighting up 3G network in Las Vegas and Austin?

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 02:06:17 +0000

T-Mobile’s 3G network has been a long time coming. After winning the 1700Mhz AWS spectrum that it needed to launch its own special flavor of 3G networks in the US, T-Mobile was forced by the US government to stand-by as bureaucratic agencies proceeded to vacate the spectrum. And, after initially launching their 3G network in [...]

With T-Mobile's 3G network up and running, we're eager to see T-Mobile bring some serious 1700Mhz 3G-compatible handsets into their stable. Some eagle-eyed detective work by Cellphonesignal has uncovered FCC documents that clue us in to a new T-Mobile 3G handset - the Sony Ericsson Bella.

Then we got reports from the [...]

T-Mobile 3G network does voice and 384kbps data!

Thu, 01 May 2008 23:15:47 +0000

[Update] It looks like T-Mobile's 3G network is good to go on the data side. I wish I was in New York and owned a handset with 1700Mhz UMTS to test out the 3G network, but reports indicate that speeds are as expected. Full 3G is better than voice-only 3G on T-Mobile's 1700Mhz AWS spectrum. Post updated. Talk [...]

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 22:33:13 +0000
