T-Mobile's current line of 3G devices will work just fine on their new network. They won't get the max speed the netork is capable of, but they will get faster than they are currently getting.

For example- the Touch Pro 2 is capable of 7.2 meg HSPA. Right now the average 3G user probably gets around 1.5 megs or so. When they rollout the new network users will start seeing 7 megs on their Touch Pro 2's.

But you can bet HTC and everyone else will start making devices that support the 21 meg HSPA+. It's only a minor tweak, nothing major. Just like they had no trouble making 7.2 meg devices when carriers upgraded their 3.6 HSPA networks.
Considering that STUPID ASS TIME WARNER throttles your connection down to about that on a daily basis, it's going to be excellent!
