Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / July 20073G Service & 3G phones
I heard that the 3G service supposed to start this summer. Anyone heard any date when the 3G service will be available? Any news what 3G phone sets will be released? Thanks, Les >I heard that the 3G service supposed to start this summer. I wouldn't bet on that. There's talk of HSDPA being implemented, but EDGE isn't even available systemwide yet.  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com I use my RAZR more for e-mails and WAP browsing than for talk. I can hardly wait for 3G. >>I heard that the 3G service supposed to start this summer. > > I wouldn't bet on that.

I must be the only guy on the face of the earth satisfied with EDGE! ;-) Sure, faster is always better, but EDGE's 150k has been more than adequate for mobile e-mail and light browsing on my handset. (Of course I first used mobile data over analog cellular at 4800bps then 14.4k TDMA CSD, so EDGE spoils me by comparison!) I'll take 3G if they include it in my $6 T-Mo Web subscription, but I wouldn't pay extra for 3G... >> I use my RAZR more for e-mails and WAP browsing than for talk.

I find EDGE on my Blackberry 8700 to be very nice. I'd see no reason to go out and spend another $300 or more to get a new device to support HSDPA. SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com That is good to know. I actually have not used EDGE yet. I will probably get an EDGE phone on eBay. I am actually grandfathered in for the $2.99 per mo unlimited T-Zones and 300 text messages. Which is the best deal in town for e-mail and light WAP browsing. I was wondering if T-Mobile will charge more for 3G service. There is no extra charge from GPRS to EDGE, I am hoping that 3G will not bring a higher charge. If so, I would just probaly stick with EDGE. Thanks for the info. Les >>> I use my RAZR more for e-mails and WAP browsing than for talk. I can >>> hardly wait for 3G.

Well, I switched to Verizon EVDO and never looked back. The difference is astounding and worth the price. > That is good to know. > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Blackberry 8700 to be very nice.

I use a Windows Mobile PDA phone- moving from T-Mobile's $6/month data to Verizon's $40 (for PDAs) just isn't worth it to me even for a ten-fold increase in speed.
