Users Report T-Mobile 3G Network Has Data

By Benny Goldman on May 2, 2008 at 6:19 AM

T-Mobile says that the 3G service rolling out today is voice-only for now, but New York-based users on HowardForums claim they’re receiving 3G data too. One user says he’s getting speeds over 400k/sec on his Nokia N73, and can receive calls while streaming music, something the old 200k/sec EDGE network isn’t equipped to do. The 3G speed bump has only been confirmed in some parts of Brooklyn, so this isn’t a full-scale upgrade. But it’s exciting news for T-MO users who thought they’d be waiting longer to get their 3G.

    The user they are referring to in this article used the Nokia 6263. One website saw the N73 on his profile and made the assumption, and all the other sites copied.
