Add this one to the rumor mill: T-Mobile will be getting its first 3G networks up and running by May, and will roll out UMTS network support for other markets shortly thereafter. On top of the list of markets that will be getting 3G network support is New York, while Phoenix barely makes it at 27th. But this is not about the numbers. If this rumor holds true, then a lot of people would be happy - T-Mobile might be able to sell more handsets because it can now offer those that have 3G network support. And customers will have more choices now; if they can afford to upgrade to 3G then why not? You think this has anything to do with the other rumors concerning a June release of a 3G capable internet device, though? It could be.
All in all, we can expect to see T-Mobile’s 3G network to roll out in 27 markets. The list:
- New York City
- Austin
- NJ and Long Island
- Las Vegas
- Minneapolis
- Miami
- Dallas
- Chicago
- Houston
- Philadelphia
- Denver
- Detroit
- Orlando
- Kansas City
- Atlanta
- Los Angeles
- New England
- Portland
- Sacramento
- San Diego
- Seattle
- Washington DC
- San Francisco
- Birmingham
- Memphis
- Tampa
- Phoenix
Didn’t see your city’s name in there? Don’t fret. This as of yet unconfirmed rumor can change any time. So keep your fingers crossed.
