Its like driving a Ferrari on a bumpy ass dirt road. Just not worth it, IMO!

Im in CT, and Tmobile's 3G service was was only implemented a few months ago in the summer of 09. I really am torn right now between keeping the HD2, or returning it and waiting for the Evo 4G. However, Im not really feeling the idea of Google in every aspect of my life...plus, Android is not quite right for me...yet. Ohhhhh! Decisions, Decisions!
Totally depends on the area. T-Mo is actually giving me right around 7200kbps when tested on PIE from mobilespeedtest.com. I tested file transfers of about 50MB and the speed averaged out to be about 1600kbps.

Sprint is averaging around 500kpbs for me.

This is my test on PIE: http://mobilespeedtest.com/results/1121087233.jpg

I can get speeds very close to this every single time I test. T-Mo tends to do great in big cities, not so much outside.
