It's not T-Mobile, it's RIM. None of the 8XXX series BB's have 3G support - for ANY network. Besides, T-Mobile doesn't exactly have a full 3G network deployment yet anyway. Although, I just got this phone today and I must say the WiFi radio makes me not even care about the lack of 3G. I love this thing! The HotSpot at home is F**Kin' sweet! I was skeptical at first, but the clarity is amazing. I'm pleasantly surprised at how well TMO has pulled this off.
By technicality, Verizon and Sprint's BlackBerry devices have 3G, but that's of an EVDO flavor. What I meant was all of the GSM BB 8XXX series devices do not have 3G support (yes, even the European BB 8XXX's are without it).

Actually, I take that back -
