im not really sure why it only gets gprs only. but im guessing its because the fact that the sprint tp2 is a primarily cdma, even though it can work on GSM, only one of them can connect at 3g speed. which in this case, its the cdma radio on EVDO. of course this may not be the answer. just my answer to make myself feel better because i would like to get 3g when i use the phone internationally too. hope may not be lost though. there may be a small chance of getting 3g. the only reason why i said that is because there was a member a few months ago that took his tp2 somewhere in asia. he posted that although majority of the time connections was gprs, depending where he was in that particular country, he was able to get 3g connection. but i recall him saying had to do with the network as well.

nrfitchett44 may be correct. if you really want to be 3g capable when you get it in cebu, you might have to shell out extra to get the european gsm version.
