The T-Mobile 3G service runs in a different band (1700/2100, UMTS Band IV) than AT&T 3G (850/1900, Band V, if I recall correctly) so I would be surprised if you could get 3G service from AT&T with the G1 that runs on the T-Mobile network. It seems that each phone supports the most commonly used European 3G band (1900/2100 Band 1) and the special "home" band.
I've not researched this extensively and this is from memory and the iPhone and G1 on my desk, but I still hope I am wrong ;) /Shyamal On Jan 5, 12:23 pm, Waldoh <matthardw...@gmail.com> wrote: > "According a report from OFB's Timothy Butler, AT&T has been boosting > its 3G coverage and signal strength over the last few months; however, > the upgrade is at the expense of its 2G client base.
