I live in the Mobile Al and all i get is edge network. When i went to montgomery i had 3G for the first time and it was fast like if i was connected to a wifi connection. From what i also heard for living down here in mob town that T-mobile will never get 3g down here cause of the contract between a airforce base thats refuses to surrender the contract. So, 4g i hope we get it quick, and that means now. Its also a shame that we get nice phones and have to use the crapest connection…My phone was made for something besides talking….

I think that we really need to step up with the 4G as well as the HTC EVO for tmobile! that would be a dream come true and hopfully it happeneds soon cause i will be one of the first ones to buy it and not only that but i and the tmobile custumers will be happy campers to be on top of the chart way above the iphone and apple inc. and other companys like sprint verizon ect. READ THIS !! i speak for a majority of the tmobile buyers seeking the best network and next gen. iphone (HTC EVO). and soon!! i got the money and so do many tmobile ppl. you want the $$$$$ i got it just make this amazing android move with the 4G!! thank you !!((:

I think you guys are confused a bit, Thats all they said is “Comcast would provide the infrastructure to support a 4G mobile network” . All that means is comcast will provide the internet connection for T-mobile’s cell towers. ITS NO BIG DEAL even if your not a comcast fan. Its not like comcast and t-mobile are merging company’s.

Okay guys listen. Comcast is no where near as bad as Charter (which Comcast owns). At least Comcast’s customer care is in the U.S. T-Mobile is a great company with great values. Like one person said hopefully it will rub off on Comcast. T-Mobile has taken their time rolling out their 3G because the network they wanted to set up would make converting to 4G as simple as flipping a switch. Now with the others they are going to have to basically replace their towers. Now as far as the correlation between CDMA, GSM, 3G, etc. is that all of the new phones coming out will run on GSM 850 / GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900 WCDMA 900 / WCDMA 1700 / WCDMA 2100. So they operate on both. Now in order to get the better faster 3G, you have to have a phone with WCDMA 900 / WCDMA 1700 / WCDMA 2100. Otherwise you are going to be on EDGE or GPRS. The U.S. has always been behind in Cell technology, just take a look at T-Mobile Germany which sells the iPhone. Also check out NTT DoCoMo in Japan. 3G was first introduced in the U.S. by Verizon in 2002 and here it is eight years later. So imagine how long it will take for 4G to be widely available. So everyone take a chill pill, be happy wireless technology has advanced as far as it has. I have a G1 but also still have my Nokia 100 which is like the 8-Track player of cell phones.

Actually whoever doesnt know what 4G is, its actauly will be up to 1ox faster than 3G, do you know what that really means? Have u ever load pages over Edge? what about over Wifi? Yeah now u can really see the difference dont u? Thats 4G compared to 3G but the only bad part will be that 4G wont be available in rural areas only in the major cities. So all you noobies out there i dont think you know what it actually means.Its a great year for Tmobile ext year and hopefully they can dominate by next year. Sprint thinks they are the best but i dont think they are.

This should at least clear the air on a lot of points addressed above and at minimum provide you with a jump-off point to investigate further. educate yourself its more productive than arguing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G

comcast customer service has been pretty bad in my experience (ATL area) but it’s not been a big deal since my actual service has been quite good. we don’t have FIOS as an option, but my standard cable modem service absolutely SMOKES the DSL offerings here and in the 8 or 9 years that I’ve had my cable modem, I’ve only had a total of maybe a day of downtime (much of that was due to the crappy cable modem I initially had, and the rest was due to comcast network upgrades that eventually resulted in huge speed increases – I routinely see downloads in the 20+mbits/sec range and uploads of 1.5+ mbps).

@twilightwolf90

I agree 100%. I’m in NoVA too and Comcast is the devil. I wish I could switch to FIOS but sadly, it’s not available in my area yet.

Hopefully T-MO is steering this ship and not the other way around.

@Rob Yah, sorry I should have specified, my comment was only in regard to your “Have it now” generation. I have no beef’s with your monopoly argument. I live in western Canada; we only have 2 ISP’s. Both of them work vary closely together to make sure the consumer gets the shunt. They don’t need to upgrade since its Telus or Shaw or the “56K”.

@rob

Are you suggesting we stick with edge?
And why are you pushing the number of G1′s you have as a reference to technical knowledge or awareness?

The bottom line is this… edge is completely inferior. its theoretical speed isn’t even close to the real-life speed of HSDPA or HSPA… streaming video, downloads, PC-like web browsing and many other functions, just aren’t smooth, efficient, or timely with edge. Sorry dude. Faster mobile networks are a necessity and no matter how mad you get, you can’t justify EDGE over 3G or 4G networks. PLUS, it’s not just about phones… There’s air cards, tethering, and netbooks coming soon… ARE YOU REALLY SAYING EDGE IS SUFFICIENT for those?

Sorry T-Mo hasn’t built out 3G in your area… I’m in Houston. It’s nearly everywhere here and the difference is ridiculous (great). To be honest the 3G speeds arent even topped out spec wise. Theres room to expand still before the move to WiMax or LTE. I’d like to see AT&T’s HSPA+ at 21MBPS.
