This article states all 3g phones are backwards compatible and will take advantage of the upgraded network. Also the article I posted above shows the hd2 getting 10mbps.
"T-Mobile is the first carrier to launch the even faster HSPA+ in the U.S. While other carriers talk about 4G plans and the promise of compatible devices, T-Mobile will speed ahead with HSPA+ deployments across the bulk of its 3G footprint in 2010, delivering mobile broadband speeds with a home broadband-like experience. And the best thing about the HSPA+ upgrade is that it’s backward compatible.so many of the 3G-enabled devices T-Mobile customers are using today will automatically be faster at no additional cost, so customer experiences could be faster without upgrading or spending more money-- a RARITY in consumer electronics."
