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."

I think it is only backwards compatible with HSPA compatible phones..not all 3g phones..not to mention the HSPA ones will get a speed boost but wont match with true HSPA+ phones like HD2
