That sounds like a great phone. To read about HSPA+ you can go here… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_...

The current 3G is just HSPA.

I love the my touch.. there are a whole lot of apps.. i have loaded specific ones i like which i guess is the whole reason.. Can i ask you what HSPA+ is you were refering to? I have never heard of it.. All i know.. i would like to be able to surf faster on mytouch.. watch videos with out the endless buffering.. when i am at my daughters and access her Cox signal through wifi… it is great to watch the vids and such. I have ATT 3g on my laptop and it is pretty fast.. if my phone can get that fast i would be happy..

Well I have received a time frame both from the tmonews.com site that we would be getting it in the fourth quarter of 2009. This was confirmed to me by the Midwest City store when they told me that we have a November 12th scheduled date. I did not have the patience to wait until 3G was turned on so I went with the Blackberry 8900 back in May. To be quite honest, the EDGE has not been that bad on my phone. I have even been able to stream audio from radio stations on my phone. I have been able to watch Youtube videos too. When I am at home, I use the Wifi for UMA calling. I have read a lot about the Mytouch phone. I hear it is an Android phone and it sounds cool. I am curious how your experience has been. I would not worry too much about the 3G service because we are only one month away. Also if you read tmonews.com, they are going to switch on the HSPA+ soon and it will be way faster than AT&T's 3G service.

Thanks for the post.

I live in Norman OK.. just bought the I touch. I thought when i bought it, that T Mobile was 3 G here.. i had received a brochure from them with my bill..that advertised 3G.. when i called and ordered it I asked about the getting the unlimited 3g internet.. i was quoted a price.. i signed up.. then found out i am on edge.. and they wont tell me when okc is getting 3g either.. all i got to say is i pray to god when it does come to OKC that it works in Norman.. if it doesnt.. lord.. i haved been with T Mobile for ever.. hopefully it will come this way soon..and i agree with you all.. they should give people some kind of time frame..

What about Enid at least give us better EDGE coverage. Right now if I want EDGE speed I have to go down town which if you know Enid it ain't very big. I've also been with T Mobile for a while five years and two months to be exact. I have a G1 and my I gave my girl friend a My Touch I pay alot for my service but it is still a bargain for all I have.

It may ease your mind to know that a strong EDGE signal is far better than a weak 3G signal. At least that’s what my brother and I have concluded. (I have a Sony Ericsson TM506. He, a G1.)

My home is at the bottom of a “valley” between 3G areas with decent EDGE reception, while my job (fortunately where I want it most) generally has solid 3G through most of the building.

One of the commute routes passes through the heart of a 55+ community and we’re not talking one of those “active adult” developments. It is bathed in 3G end to end, while nearby areas that are far more likely to contain a more appropriate demographic get EDGE. Hopefully the deployment of 3G will be/is more consistent in your locale.
