[...] T-Mobile HSPA 7.2 on all 3G nodes by year’s end [Android and Me] Categories: Uncategorized [...]

Quanity over quality? Are you serious? My G1 is crap after only a year because its outdated already and why in god’s name would I buy a Cliq or myTouch when its nearly the same in specs? Horrible. I’m so sick of this phone hanging on every little thing… and my G1 is ROOTED and OVERCLOCKED. I like Android, but I hate these handsets. There has never ever been a moment in time when I didn’t try to look up some info w/ my G1 and it took so damn long that the moment passed and no one cared.

If it is a software upgrade coming from Tmobile, does this affect people using roms such as cyanogen?

cougar, I live in New Braunfels but visit San Antonio very often. I own a MT3G and can personally tell you data speeds are very dependent on location. Here in NB I have EDGE and can get anything from 44-180 kbps. (C’mon, T-Mo, we need some 3G love in NB!!!) In San Antonio I get anything from 500-1200 kbps. Try the corner of Bandera road and Loop 410. For me that area on average nets me 980-1040 kbps! When HSPA 7.2 rolls out that 400 kbps you get will almost be about 1500 kbps for sure. HSPA 7.2 FTW!!!

Peole are FLYING… IN THE AIR… Magically! You’re pitiful

Seems I spoke too soon.

As of last night!

This may answer a few of the question that I seen on this site.
HSPA 7.2 is just a software upgrade, so this is the reason they are upgrading their 3g network before it is everywhere. There is no new equipment needed.

Can anyone actually back up this news? I still dont see anything on the t-mobile corporate press release site.

You’re not alone. Lets not forget that T-Mobile had first dibbs on the Droid but turned it down. I think they have better things in mind for future android phones. I’ve been with both Sprint and Verizon and no thanks. I’m a T-Mobile customer for ever, no BS from them.

data on Verizon and T-mobile is the same price, voice is not. Verizon also offer month to month, 1 year and two contract. T-mobile phone line up is sad at best. 7.2 upgrade on a limited coverage means little on current line on phones. Carriers make their money on the plans, not on the phones, then they need to low the over price phone so we can use their service. promise of a better tomorrow does not cut it if today total SUCKS!
