I will leave T-Mobile later this year, and join T3 later this year

[greenblood]

I'll join T3 to enjoy new AWS 3G, heh heh heh :p
but don't throw stone at me yet, because
T3 = T-Mobile USA 3G! :D

Haha I was wondering why such and avid T-mobile Customer was leaving.
Hopefully We'll go from T-mobile to T3 soon

Our discussions in our district meeting tonight only reconfirmed what is I already posted. December is still the time frame that they expect to start rolling out the service. The government just isn't going to vacate the frequency any sooner. The blackberry rep gave an "un-official" nod to the curve coming soon but wouldn't commit to wifi being available. That was disappointing, I was hoping for at the very least a time frame for it to arrive but his smile meant he knew something he wasn't telling.

Nwahs, its coming bro, all I can do is promise its coming. It'll be worth the wait, more focus on call quality, call strength, signal strength and the things that truly matter.

the most concern is still reception
hope 3G has better reception, even from same node, because this is a main drawback for customers to sign or customers to leave
since I already know HSDPA will be out of the box, that I am sure the internet connection will be faster, and frankly, I found the EDGE is alot faster at home, even can run slingbox at 200kbps with Sierra card, I never seen that in the past several months
T3 is the name I called for T-Mobile 3G
but there's something is pretty important, DO NOT cap data usage like VZW or T-Mobile UK, such carriers are really (beep)hole and too stingy!!!

[Nwahs]

I am really thrilled that 3G will help with reception. Just a little help at my home would be awesome.
Thanks for the report Jedi :)

I think T-mobile is doing things the right way. By focusing on voice/reception and what matters most to 98% of customers they will do exactly they have set out to do. To show customers that they are making leaps and bounds to bring the best possible coverage to you in places that matter most.

I know we all want the gadgets, the widgets and the gizmos but most important we want quality service. While 3g offers a tremendous number of high speed yada yada what matters most is showing that T-mobile is a carrier that is serious about bringing the best possible experience to their customers.

Do I sound like an employee or what?!

Oh and you are welcome! :cool:

Yeah you definitely sound like an employee haha. But that is good to know. I just hope the $4.3 was worth spending on better reception and call quality.

Me too my friend me too. I can survive without hbo mobile and all that jazz if they have quality devices and more quality service.

getting better internet experience with lower price is every road warrior's dream
I think 500kbps is very good for me, since the outstream of my home DSL is 768k, and the absolute bitrate of slingbox is 3Mbps, and the pic quality has no further improvement after 1500kbps
I still leaning toward and stay with T-Mobile and wait for 3G, if I can use 3G service without increase price or change my grandfathered service would be the greatest loyalty reward

if 3G brings better reception than 2G (esp indoors or hard-to-reach areas), more customers will flow in naturally, and less customers quit, that greatly reduce churn
don't forget, T-Mobile will open up some brand new 3G only markets (esp Carolinas, there're several major military bases), don't under estimate the sudden customer increase from these markets

That sounds great. I used to substitute teach and every service except t-mobile got service inside the buildings.

ha, at my high school Cingular would not reach (850MHz), Sprint was useless, Verizon and T-Mobile were the only two to reach.. sure verizon got every nook and cranny, but T-Mobile did well for an almost 60 year old High School that was all brick and steel!

[greenblood]

but there's something starts to worry me
when I read the white papers on the phone spec, I realize the TX of the 3G (no matter which band, and I think AWS is the same) is merely 250mW, 1/4 or PCS/DCS
except the RX sensitivity of node is 10dBm more than PCS, the reception may be worse even from the same node

In my school, Cingular (850) has a hard time reaching to the inner parts of the building. My T-Mobile phones have better success, as I can be having a conversation while my fellow teachers have to run out of the room when their phones ring.

Of course, this is after school, not when we have students!

I heard 3G was coming out Q4 2007.

[terryjohnson16]

Some said Q3.

[greenblood]

I am about to migrate to T3, and about to retire my K790a
the profit of 3G is that I can receive call when I'm online, or watch Slingbox at higher bitrate (requires 300kbps for decent quality)
