It may not be what everyone dreamed of, but you have to start somewhere.

It's on Tmobile... no 3g, and horrible coverage.

When they release one on AT&T I plan on checking it out, provided it works with Exchange push.

Just wait till Andorid is on other phones, it'll happen.

I'm on T-mobile but I will have to wait. I would be in the money right now but I had surgery and missed out on a lot of overtime with Gustav and Ike. I would buy it.

Other sources says 3G too btw. I wouldn't mind getting one if it ever makes it way to Verizon.

The phone has 3G support, but T-Mobile's network doesn't.

Oh, well in that case that's fucking lame. Shame that TMobile got the rights for the phone.

FYI, http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/a...p?a=221&p=1536

It's standard 1700/2100 UMTS and quad GSM/EDGE, so it looks like unlocking and using on AT&T is out of the questions if you care about 3G.

I don't like this "chin" on the bottom. http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/a...g=1861&h=17771

Finally, T-Mobile users have something to look forward to besides shitty reception.

I'll unlock it on AT&T. I don't give a fuck about 3G right now.

T-Mobile has said they'll have 3G service in 22 cities by the day the phone is released. Here's a link:

Lol, I've had 3G for over 2 years in fucking Louisiana. Their roll outs will no doubt still be limited to metro areas and spotty at that. I just can't see any reason to go with TMobile for 3G anytime in the near future.
