How
convenient, T-mobile. That $199, Android-flaunting, 3G
HTC G1, to be officially unveiled next week, is supposed to
start selling on October 17th, just when the carrier plans to flip the HSDPA switch on eight new markets: Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Orlando, Philadelphia, Sacramento, San Francisco and Seattle. T-Mobile plans to follow those up with Birmingham, Denver, Detroit, Kansas City, Memphis and Tampa by the end of the year, covering about two-thirds of its customers with 3G before 2009 rolls around. It's been a rough few years for the T-Mobile faithful, but it looks an end is in sight -- at least for the urban among us.

WEll GOod NEws but Nothing we really didnt know before.
Although its NIce to see it in Black and White.
So those other Eight Markets' 3G WONT be Ready for when the Dream G1 Comes out in their cities as Planned???
Disappointing but I DO think that the 8 WILL be Flipped on by the time Dream IS Released.

Hi T-Mobile.
It's me. One of your many smartphone-using Milwaukee, WI customers. I like data. I like broadband speeds.
Why don't you like us?
Sincerely,
Milwaukee
