Technically both Mobile phone Diva and Roger are correct. The 1700/2100 spectrum that was purchased is STRICTLY USA and is new for Tmobile USA. However in reference to those specific frequencies many other countries have been using them for years. It all depends on how that government decides to divide spectrum. If you have a phone that is 3g capable from Europe or Japan that is 2100mhz it will not work. As of right now, yes 3g for tmobile is a new thing for Sim operated phones (i realize that verizon is already working on 4g for THEIR network) but that is what technology is all about, developing new products to enhance peoples lives. Sometimes it takes a little time for manufacturers and cel phone companies to catch up.Does anyone remember the fact that you had to purchase a new phone in order to go from "analog" to "digital" this is no different. The entire benefit of T-mobile rolling out 3G the way they did is incredibly smart because it allows them to piggy back off their current network and continually make changes to increase quality and speed.
