Rumored myTouch HD with dual core processor

tmobile's 3g/4g/3.5g/whatever you want to call it is great if you live in a city with good coverage. i can't comment on it if you don't. i split my time between nyc, dc, and pittsburgh, and the following is representative of my speeds in all three places. sure as hell beats the sprint 4g speedtests i have seen. and my nexus doesn't even take full advantage of the network like the g2 / mytouch hd will

Obviously if you don't live in an HSPA+ area than the T-Mobile speeds aren't going to be great. The same could be said for any carrier. That said. T-Mobile has a larger 4G footprint than any carrier. And in the areas where them and their competition both have 4G coverage, T-Mobiles is faster.


What else is there to say?

You're being ignorant.
You haven't read any of my post and assuming things.

- I live in Orlando. One of the first city to get HSPA+.
- I live near University of Central Florida so its pretty much center Orlando.
- I get either Edge/3g inside my house.
- I wok at Disney and I get edge/3g there also.
- I've said many times that when you do hit a good HSPA+ signal its great. I've gotten 5mbps+ before.
- Drove to Atlanta one weekend and as soon as I got out of Orlando I got Gprs all the way to Orlando. GPRS is a step below edge.
- Sitting inisde Turner Field(all 3 games), I couldn't get data service at all.
- When I go to UCF games, I barely get data service inside the stadium also.
- My friends at work who has Tmobile tells me the same thing about their data service.

You do realize that Tmobile hspa+ is based on them just upgrading their current towers right ???
Its been known for the while Tmobile 3G is very spotty.
So what makes you think hspa+ is any but also spotty ??

Yep, I know they just upgrade their towers. Which is exactly what enables them to have such a big footprint already. Sure, it is spotty in some areas. Hell, a lot of areas. But its also a hell of a lot bigger than anyone elses comparable networks.


I live in Tampa. I drive an hour to work. The entire way from the drive to work all the way home I get quality HSPA+ signal. Oh and by the way, just because you are getting 3G on your phone doesn't mean you get HSPA signal. So keep that in mind.




Let me make an observation though. When I live in an apartment a few years back I checked my signal when I was checking out the place. Excellent coverage. All 5 bars. I moved in and noticed I was missing calls etc. As it turns out, the building I was in actually had very poor signal inside the building, but had excellent signal 20 yards away.

Point being, signal can vary DRASTICALLY in a small area. Its very easy to find someone who thinks the signal is downright horrible, when they just look for the bad areas, ignoring 95% of the good areas. You can do that with any carrier. It doesn't mean the signal sucks. It just means you're looking for the problems.
