You're *never* going to get lots of different 3G handsets simply because T-Mobile's implementation of 3G uses an oddball combination of 1700 and 2100 Mhz. It's doubtful that any hardware manufacturer is going to put gobs and gobs of models that are only usable on one service. Economies of scale is what the manufacturers are going for.
Yes. China. You know, where 1/3 of the world's population lives. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it might be considered a larger market than T-Mobile.
i think it is likely that there are more cell phones in US than in china, simply because of average income; the US has a large middle class, china does not.

Who's going to be impressed with their very limited handsets available for 3G?

Well, they did it for China's TD-SCDMA.

China has a much larger middle class than the US.
We have a little different definition for "middle class" from China.
