Joe, that was a very mature, well thought out rebuttal for all those wack T-Mobile hataz, you sure showed them with your schoolyard profanity and insults... I am sure everyone who reads this thread will think twice before even daring to criticize glorious T-Mobile now....

"SIKE YER MIND"

In all seriousness T-Mobile? At this point? Just bail on 3G for the US, skip it, cut it out, forget it, done. That ship sailed, you weren't on it. Get some 4G deployed THIS YEAR and people might actually pay attention to you... You went from being the Zeta-Jones of Cell Co's to another old stroke victim..

3G voice only means that you'll get downside of more rapid battery drain but none of the upside of faster data. Seriously, I think TMO is happy being 4th or 5th place. Good customer service is fine but wireless customers need real, 21st century wireless technology. Otherwise, your customer base will just remain the teen texting scene.

I live in Copenhagen, Denmark. I receive between 4 and 5 megabit on my 3G Internet connection. 4 megabits may not be much, but still much more than EDGE. My phone only supports 3,6 megabit, but my Internet subscription support theoretically 7,2 megabit.

This article sounds like the best joke of April 2008.

Life is to short for slow Internet connections!]]>Apr 30th 2008 6:05PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/
One note, they do disable the 3G icon, so there isn't a way to know you ever are in 3G coverage unless you enable the debug mode. ]]>Apr 30th 2008 6:04PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/Apr 30th 2008 6:09PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/
True, it drains the battery life faster than 2G. On the positive side, I've never experienced that I could not make a call, because of low capacity on the network. Especially new years evening, where every 2G phone dies. 3G is still alive.

The 2G network is not designed for it's success. 3G is.]]>Apr 30th 2008 6:13PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/Apr 30th 2008 8:39PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/
Good bye T-Mobile. Your degrading voice service, non-existent data service, plummeting customer support have left me no choice. ]]>Apr 30th 2008 7:10PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/
I'm done waiting for T-Mobile and won't be renewing again in June. This waiting game just isn't worth it anymore.

And to Joe - yeah "cheap" plans alright.. ever hear of Sprint SERO? Even just basic regular Sprint plans are comparable to T-Mobile. And of course, all their data plans come with 3G/EVDO coverage. ]]>Apr 30th 2008 7:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/Apr 30th 2008 7:57PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/30/t-mobile-to-debut-3g-as-voice-only-no-data-were-over-it/
3G is W-CDMA voice (not some frankenformat 2G GSM voice+3G WCdata) even in the USA, and even T-Mobile. And yes, W-CDMA is HSDPA.
