Hi! I have a nexus one on AT&T and absolutely love it, but due to cheaper prices and better customer support I am going to switch to T-MOBILE. So is the coverage with T-MOBILE with nexus one 3g issues worth it? How is T-MOBILE service? Please post your speeds and location in the comments. I live in East Texas and get about 2.5 megs with AT&T. Thanks forrest.
I've been with tmobile for about 6 years and their customer service is pretty great but their 3G coverage is a bit spotty in some areas. Personally, I usually have 3G and H speeds and I live in the Miami-dade and broward county in Florida. I can't really give you my speeds because I haven't taken the time to find out but they usually have a map that shows their coverage, though I don't know how accurate they are. Hope I was of some help.
I live in Sacramento and get about 700-900kbps. Nowhere near 2 megs. I've heard of other areas that get much faster speeds (HSPA+ areas). However, I rarely run into an area where I won't pick up 3G.
i live in miami florida, their service is horrible; atleast in my neighborhood. i cant get 70k downloads to save my life.
I just did one quick speed test and I got 1.77 Mbps
Yea I'm picking up my N1 tonight from the FedEx hub since my gf can't answer the door.
I live in Cincinnati OH area and it seems to be good. My neighbor has full bars on his Nexus one and Tmobile, although I don't think he's the type to know his download speed.

I live in Cincinnati as well. The west side of town to be more accurate.
I can agree that for the most part 3G/H is pretty common there are still a decent amount of Edge holes in certain areas.
Overall the connection is pretty good.
My issue is the download/upload speeds on the Tmobile 3G/H network in Cincinnati. It doesn't matter where I go; Downtown, Kenwood, Blue Ash, Milford, Springdale, Cheviot, Northern KY... My speeds are pretty subpar
for 3G+. I get on avg .4-.5 mbps down and .3-.4 mbps up no matter where I am at in the city. This includes being within a football field of an H equiped tower.
They have some major work to do in Cincinnati when it comes to upgrading the networks backhaul.
remember you will have to buy a new nexus one to work with tmobile's 3G. the att version only supports ATt's 3G, and the tmobile only supports tmobile's 3G. so you will need a new phone

This is true. They are setup slightly different to handle that carriers specific 3G/H frequencies. Maybe you can sell yours on Craigslist if you decide to and break even.
That is my plan. Anyone with coverage in Texas? espicaly in East Texas? Also when is the 21 mbps supposed to be released? I am just a little hesitant to jump ship.

Thats wonderful. I like up the street (kinda) in Tampa florida and thats the news I was hoping for..
So I ordered today from Expansys, Which I am assuming sells the C6903, I was wondering whether it would support 4g network speeds on ATT, I know it won't support LTE, I don't need LTE, unless 4G is lte??? (trying to find out the bands for 4g vs/ lte is confusing me!) I've been using the HTC raider in the US and it says 4g in the signal area, nothing about lte. As long as the speed is the same as my current phone I'm fine. Thanks! I guess im trying to figure out if the phone will connect to HSPA+ (if that is what ATT considers 4g)
you will get hspa. no lte
Thanks!
If your city has 1700 LTE band deployed you might have a chance, mine does, ill report back once I get the phone next week
Would you happen to know how to find that out? I currently live in Texas
EDIT found that it is available in the following cities: Phoenix, Raleigh, San Juan, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Chicago, Charlotte, Athens, GA and College Station, TX.

the C6906 is the correct one for AT&T has the 700 band
I travel a lot for work between north America,south America, Europe and asia. so, my question is, which region phone should I get to cover me in all of my travels, or does it even matter?
Just curious of everybody's speed in the world? North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia. Are you unlimited? If not how many GB?
US East here average 40-80 MBs LTE depending on time of day. Unlimited LTE.
XDA App made two exact same posts sorry idk why. Please delete 1 Moderators!
..
T Mobile USA Simple choice unlimited here.
About 100 down 20 up in my home .
I live in some would call the boonies.
