T-Mobile Finally Getting High-Speed 3G?
According the Inquirer, there will be a major announcement regarding the oft-rumored and much-needed 3G upgrade for T-Mobile in the United States. The announcement is supposedly set for December 6th, just over a week away. This would mean that T-Mobile users might one day finally be able to get the near-broadband speeds for Web surfing and music and video downloading on their phones that people with Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T accounts have had for months and even years.
T-Mobile has been sitting on 3G capable spectrum since 2006, and even launched its first 3G capable phone, the Samsung T639, back in October, but still no mention of a network has been forthcoming.
Don't get too excited, though. Even if T-Mobile does unveil its new high -peed data network next Thursday, it is likely going to be a long time before there is widespread availability. Networks take a while to build out and it is unlikely that a company as high profile as T-Mobile could build it up in complete secrecy.
