One of the cool things about T-Mobile in the U.S. is they use the 1900 MHz frequency so when SE releases a new phone in the U.K., I can use it here in the U.S. unlike my Cingular-using buddies (850 MHz). My K790i was available months before the K790a that a Cingular user would need. Sure, in a major city you could get away (probably) with the "i" model on Cingular but your signal would suck. Using T-Mobile I got a strong signal everywhere I went. NYC, Washington DC, and out to the boondocks of northern New Jersey plus the Jersey shore.
T-Mobile Rocks. Hard!

Not everywhere you roam, though. T-Mobile has lots of "holes" once you get out West (my workplace being in the middle of one of them). When it's time to roam - which, chances are, will be on Cingular - you'll wish you had 850 MHz on your phone.
Go quad-band or go CDMA.

No CDMA for me. GSM is too convenient with the SIM card. My T-Mobile coverage here on the east coast has been nothing short of inspiring. Well, at least excellent. Inspiring might be taking it a tad too far
Just in case quad-band will make a difference I picked up a brand spankin' new K550i. It's pretty sweet. Considerably smaller but a real nice feel and the smooth lines (no camera hump on the back) are beautiful.

I was always a Cingular guy being from the West Coast. T Mobile just wasn't that reliable out in my neck of the woods. These days if I didn't live in El Sal I'd still be with Cingular for 3G.

The Cingular 3G is not really the international 3G, because they run theirs on 1900 & 850. I could explode about that. I hope Tmob jumps on the 3G (2100) bandwagon very soon.

Recent reports suggest T-Mobile is
delaying their rollout of 3G and opting instead to upgrade EDGE radically. It's going to rival HSDPA or even exceed it. But true 3G is going to wait years. The EDGE upgrade is going to be from early 2008 through 2009, and beyond that they won't say.

I disagree with that. Tmobile won a frequency band bid last year and according to the Global Operator UMTS Status, see last page on this report is working on the UMTS and HSDPA rollout this year. I am really looking forward to this one.

I hope you're right and I'm dead wrong. Last thing I read was that the 3G rollout for T-Mobile was being pushed back. No idea why. If they won frequencies in the government auction I'm sure they're eager to put them to work earning revenue and new customers.
