Its a shame that Tmobile US has such odd gsm frequencies than the rest of the world, and as such are unsupported by any of the FFOS phones so far.
With their embracing of prepaid plans combined with inexpensive smart phones could really open up anytime information access for people who cannot otherwise afford it.

Only 3G phones that support the 1700-MHz band are compatible (not all 3G phones support it). If you own a 3G phone that does not support the 1700-MHz band, it will operate at 2G (EDGE) speeds on our network." Do you mean that data rates with Tmobile will be slow? It seems to be supported otherwise?
- dpeck 12y agoRight, it would work. However the modern web, even when "optimized for mobile" is usually a very frustrating experience on 2G, and even some 3G connections. Stuck at 2G most would probably use the data very sparingly and be stuck using whatever wifi they find.
