That's why its TM's choice, and imo its a poor one. Coverage, of course being my main priority, is also at a loss (This is because a poor signal sucks battery life)

And.. Limited 3G? Dang, I think you're deterring me even more from ever becoming a TMobile carrier. I like having 3G open wide in range. For example. I came back from a cruise, and as soon as I hit American water's off in Port Canaveral, I had 3G internet.
Yeah, I think anyone would tell you that T-mo was late in the game on 3G. They are pretty frugal when it comes to stuff like that I've noticed. I live in the Atlanta area and the 3G for me has been pretty good though it is spotty outside the metro area sometimes.

If you've noticed the T-mo commercials - they don't usually tout 3G or even the network. They put emphasis on their value (rate plans) and customer service which typically is very good. Thankfully there are several good carriers in the US and each does a great job of working their angles. Sprint - high speed data, Verizon - Coverage + Largest Customer Base, AT&T - 3G + iphone.
