I too was considering jumping to AT&T because more unlocked phones supported their 3G frequencies. As soon as I found that my phone of choice (Xperia X10i) operated on T-Mobile, I bought the phone and saved myself the hassle of opening a new line of service.]]>Apr 28th 2010 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/

Besides w/Sprint if you're in a 4G city you get unlimited data for same price. No overages. No throttling...

But to each there own...]]>Apr 28th 2010 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/Apr 28th 2010 9:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/Apr 28th 2010 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/It's there if you happen to live in a covered city. The problem I have seen, at least with my nexus one, is that building penetration of the 3g signal seems to be poor. I can get it outside my house but not inside my house for example. Same with the average mall. Always seems to work in the car though.

I don't find it too bothersome though because if I find myslef inside theres a decent chance there's wifi somewhere.]]>Apr 28th 2010 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/
Not yet. Sprint's 4G coverage will hit full swing soon. And as above poster mentioned, no data caps, at ridiculous faster speeds no less. ]]>Apr 28th 2010 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/Apr 28th 2010 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/Apr 29th 2010 1:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/Apr 29th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/
Sprint's 4G is slower than AT&T's 3G, and I believe but can't remember for sure, T-Mobile's 3G as well (T-Mobile's is slower than AT$T's, though). So if you want to say you've got the "4G" just to say you've got the "4G", have fun with Sprint. But that's like buying a turbocharged Yugo that still can't keep up with a non-turbocharged Hyundai just so you can say your car has a turbo.]]>Apr 29th 2010 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/Apr 28th 2010 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/t-mobile-drops-some-overage-charges-in-favor-of-bandwidth-thrott/

$40 applied to customers who have qualified calling plan, or you'll pay $50 (this reminds me the old Total Internet datacard plan).
I am pretty close to get it after datajack switched to CDMA and add 5GB (instant account ban).
