Yes it has 3G on 1700 and 2100Mhz. You cannot tell if you are on 3G or 4G because what T-Mobile calls 4G is really 3.5G (HSDPA+). It is not true 4G. The phone just says 4G whether you are connected to 3G or 4G. When it says 4G you are really only using 3G as T-Mobile is deceiving you and playing a shell game. Having said that, the phone's max speed is 21Mbps per second which is pretty darn fast, but not real 4G.
So does the latest nightly actually tell u ure getting 3g or 4g

Can this phone get 4g speed using a HSPA+ network???
It can go up to 14,4mbps. It's exactly the same as the european sensation, except the name.
I've used speed test and got 4 mbs down and 2 mbs up but I don't think I was in a good signal place

No, you won't have hspa+ speed on AT&T. It doesn't have the right band for it. Only compatible in europe and tmobile US.

If you want to use it on at&t and get 3g/h, you need a bell sensation from Canada.
Also whats the best setup rom/kernel?
I use 4g (or atleast what T-Mobile considers 4g) all the time. As far as ROMs and kernels its user preference. Personally I like Eaglesblood, I've used multiple kernels but its looking like the stock kernel is giving best battery.

3G and 4G are the same. T-Mobile doesn't have real 4G. They have a faster version of 3G they named 4G on their own to mislead their customers.
Its software 4g, it just allows a higher data transfer over a 3g connection...

and yet it is still faster than other companies official "4G". Those sneaky guys at T-mobile. How dare they have a faster service and call it 4G.

The H is for HSPA+ also. Depends on which rom you are using as to weather it shows H or 4G.
Actually I think there is something weird with how some towers identify themselves too: I only have seen H in NYC, but saw 4G in Atlanta. Speedtests showed roughly the same speeds in both cities, and I'm pretty sure 4G service is available in both.

In the latter releases of CM7, there is a differentiation in icon based on "Mobile Network Type".
Mobile Network Type HSPA = Icon H
Mobile Network Type HSPA+ = Icon 4G
A lot of the places I travel to show up as H, but I did notice the 4G icon while transiting at Atlanta's airport.
The G2X isn't banded for 3g. Just 4 and 2.

My inspire is for AT&T which I have unlocked for t - mobile but I only get edge internet...
I saw there was a number to(call)/ dial to change settings but when I set it to 3g my signal would just stop and say no service. I also heard wasn't possible to have 3 but I doubt that, is it true?

That depends on the area where you are....in the case you are using a different carrier from ATT you wont get 3g...just edge.
So "lay012" gets 3g because he has AT&T?
There's no way then?

For 3G
Tmobile uses 1700/2100 MHz
HTC Inspire uses 850/1900 MHz
So to answer you, there is NO way. Have to get a phone that matches the network.
The stuff they teach you in school 'skimming and scanning' or whatever your teachers called it shouldn't be used in life after school. I didn't see the unlocked for T-Mobile part .-.
I'm on AT&T.

No the bands are hardware dependent. This has been talked about it hundreds of times. A search would have shown this.
