Not another frequency we do not need.

You know how the FCC runs things round here... Here's a lil something from Wikipedia....
In September, 2006, T-Mobile won a bid for large portions of the 3G Spectrum. The 3G network will be based on the UMTS/HSDPA 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz bands (which unfortunately is incompatible with European 3G frequency bands). T-Mobile grabbed up 120 bids covering 474 million people, which means they have multiple spectra covering the super-urban areas and should be launched sometime in 2007.

I haven't heard of one phone that uses these new frequencies. That certainly could be a reason for delaying the rollout. Maybe SE and others have given them a timeframe for new mobiles that include these frequencies and that time frame is way out there. That would certainly suck.

Doesn't the Z750 use that frequency?

After further review, the Z750 does indeed have the 2100 MHz UMTS band. Encouraging!

As far as I know the UMTS band that is used in Europe is 2100Mhz indeed.

T-Mobile will have the clear edge then in the future with 3G devices. So much for AT&T. Simply by handset availability I would go for T-Mobile now. A quad band GSM device with 2100 UMTS would be all you need.

If my work location weren't a T-Mobile black hole, I would switch to them in a heartbeat. Service requests to T-Mobile disappear down a black hole of their own

Well I have plenty of time to sit back and wait before I return to the US and by then I hope at least one company has a dependable network running that I can buy and use the full feature set of European phones. This seems like a big step for T-Mobile and would make me finally become a fan of theirs.
Until then I am stuck with the basics in more ways than you can all imagine in El Salvador. |

I'm not from San Francisco, but I know it decently well. I went to University of California Berkeley just across the Bay and spent many a fun or crazy evening in San Fran. If there is something you want to know I might be able to answer.
As for Amazon, I have nothing but praise for them. They always seem to beat their shipping expectations, they have a wide range of products and their inventory always reflects what they do and don't have. Plus with the reviews it is reasonable to do research there. They don't have the best prices, but my experience is you get what you pay for. That is to say, you aren't paying rock bottom prices, so you are paying for slightly better service and a very slick and professional web site. |
