T-Mobile gets official with next wave of 3G rollouts

As if it wasn't official enough (and it never really is, is it?), T-Mobile is clarifying and reiterating its intentions to bring 3G to more locales before the dawn of 2009. After launching coverage this week in Sacramento, California, the outfit is now turning its eyes to the nation's capital. In late November, Washington, DC will get blanketed with T-Mobile 3G, and Memphis / Tampa should be getting lit here soon as well. Keep 'em coming, T-Mob -- you've a ways to go still.

Unimpressed. They cover Miami, but not Fort Lauderdale which is well within the "metro" area. Heck, half of the population in South Florida is in Fort Lauderdale. I'm a big fan of TMO, but being more than one year late, dismal at best 3G coverage, and a single smartphone that will work on it (the odd 1700 Mhz frequency, which isn't their fault, but it is what it is), I can't help but snooze here. I mean, they need a BIG splash like launching full HSPA+ in hundreds of cities to catch up with the well established other networks. They unfortunately, usually take the slowest possible route with nearly everything they do. And yes, I am a customer and will probably remain one.

They have 3G in all of south florida. I live in Coral Springs and work in Boca and 3G is active here. I just became active this week though
