It does operate on GSM but I don't know if t-mobile's HSDPA network would be compatible. I'm so disappointed that there are no good android phones announced for t-mobile at CES
Actually rumor has it that the LG Optimus 2x will be coming to T-Mobile.

No. I am assuming that Motorola didn't pentaband this phone and you are stuck to using EDGE if you are on T-Mobile.

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
I don't know about US but this means it will work on every Australian carrier, toot!
That sucks. I'm on Mobilcity in Canada and I hope to give my G1 to my dad and get a Atrix if it comes to t-mobile.
It sucks that t-mobile always gets lame phones.

T-Mobile Compromise on great phones
T-Mobile ranks 4th (practically Last Place) in US because they hardly ever get the latest great phones. They always are a step or two below what the top 3 have. Atrix for AT&T but Cliq-2 for T-Mo!!! what a difference. I've been with T-Mo for over 7 years & every time a great phone is announced I want to switch carrier and I finally decided to switch in order to get the Atrix. Hope, Moto learn from Samsung Galaxy & start releasing it to all carriers.
Tmobile was the first GHZ phone in the US, the ever popular HD2 anyone, which is still alive and kicking even today.
Just wait a few months. AT&T acquired tmobile and will be fully integrated by December (rumoured).
Hello, I am currently a Samsung Captivate user (which would suck without the developers here on XDA and the current ROM's), and I am looking to get a WP7 for my wife. I am very familiar with the OS and the SDK, but know nothing of the newer hardware available.
I was wondering what the general consensus was of the best available AT&T WP7 and if there would be any new phones in the next month or 2 expected so we should wait on getting this.
Also will any have a front camera for Skype and video calling.
most popular from AT&T in terms of windows phone is the Samsung Focus.
no word at present of any new hardware, but the mobile world congress is being held 14th-17th feb, which may or may not reveal more handsets (most probably not many if any).
and at present, there are no windows phones with front facing camera, and noone knows for sure when this will come about. and adding to that, skype have said that they have no plans for supporting windows phone.

Samsung has hinted heavily that they'll have a 4G WP7 phone at MWC. Not sure if 4G means LTE, WiMax, or HSPA+ though.
Focus
When I was visiting the ATT store as part of my research before buying a WP7 phone, I was told that the Focus, then the Surround, were the most popular WP7 phones and in fact the Focus was the #2 selling phone overall.

Verizon is LTE, Sprint is WiMax. No gsm carriers in the states have rolled out 4g yet, I don't think. AT&T will definitely be LTE, but it won't be online untill mid 2010, I believe, according to them.

If you go by the original definition, LTE and WiMax are NOT 4G. And if you go by the newer definition, HSPA+ is 4G... I don't know why people shaft T-Mobile in their 4G conversations when they have the most consistent and technically fastest 4G service in the US.
That being said, I do hope a HSPA+ T-Mobile WP7 is coming soon.

The SoC that they are rumored to add support for in the near future is the same as the G2 I believe, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what is coming. AT&T also has HSPA+ now too though, of course.
I wasn't even aware that ATT had HSPA, afaik they were going to be rolling out LTE this year, while T-Mobile increased they HSPA+ to 42mbps...

At CES AT&T said HSPA+ has already been deployed and LTE will be coming second half of the year.

yet AT&T's network couldn't handle the load once again at CES, with engadget reporting hours of unable to make a call or use data. Until AT&T expands their bandwith to handle the traffic flow, I don't care what their theoretical speeds are.
Okay I am in the USA. I am not on T-Mobile but on Att. I am currently using N1. I can leave Att for as specific reason. I know Samsung galaxy s 2 is available but I refused to buy Samsung. I love HTC. After purchasing my N1 I am HTC for life.
I know that carriers in Australia and Att in the US have the same 3G band. I was wondering if there are any news about quad band 3g sensation out there. I would absolutely pick up it I its released. Thx advance.

I am looking to upgrade but buy the phone unlocked out of pocket to keep my old rates.
The problem is the frequency for the AT&Ts 3g, I live near Cleveland.
This site lists the bands the phone uses.
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_3d-review-622.php
Works with AT&T EDGE and AT&T 1900mhz 3G - Does not work with 850mhz 3G
Works with Tmobile EDGE and 3G
I read Cleveland uses 1900mhz it should be good for now but I also read they will use 850mhz
When they remove the edge.
Should I avoid getting the unlocked phone out now and wait to by the Thrill out of contract when its released?
I have been running my HTC Hermes since 2006 (wm6.1 rom CRCs r13.5)
5 years and a few repairs later I am ready to move on...
Since I bought my Hermes unlocked out of pocket overseas I have been running
my data plans under a grandfathered price locked when I bought my Motorola mpx220 7+years ago.
Wait till thrill as far as I know from my friends at radio shack and AT&T it still set to release aug. 21st which is sunday

I need one. I am currently halfway through a 2 year Verizon LTE contract (pre-ordered the Thunderbolt, stupid me but at least I have unlimited data) but would buy an unsubsidized phone if necessary. I will be in East/Southeast Asia, Aus, Eastern and Western Europe.
Currently I'm thinking flagship phone with LTE + Quad Band GSM. The only viable options right now seems to be the Droid 4 (releasing next week) or the Verizon LTE Samsung Galaxy S 2. It seems like the Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus does not have quad band GSM, although international versions do (but I want LTE when I'm in the states). The HTC Sensation does not have LTE, the Rezound lacks quad band GSM.
The other option is buy a used device solely for international travel. Maybe the Droid 3, HTC Sensation or Desire or even a Samsung Galaxy S.
Does anyone here know how much the decision to tune to lots of bands affects performance, call quality and battery life? I will not be carrying a computer or a tablet, so my phone is my lifeline. Also, if anyone has a Droid 3, what major countries does it NOT work in?
Just for reference, this is no Verizon Samsung GSII.
