I'm hoping 2/7 brings Rev B...then the $10 isn't so bad as all.

Are you sure about that? I switched from a TP2 to a Hero and had my SERO plan changed to premium with the $10 fee already. So that means I won't see an additional $10?

I highly doubt it. Show us the speed on paper. Even tmo doesn't vouch for those speeds.

T-Mobile actually does vouch for those speeds. They currently have 21 meg HSPA+, but they announced at CES that they were already in the process of upgrading that to 42 meg HSPA+ and expected to be done with the nationwide rollout in the first half of this year.

yor right, doc! i shut the hell up. i cant believe those speeds. my business class broadband is barely that fast. i know several others on t-mo though, and they dont get speeds like that. how'd you manage it?

It's the hd7, it's just fast like that. When I first got it, I couldn't believe it either, that's why I'm proud of wp7...it just works :).

...one more thing to add, i had to call t-mo when i first got it because it just made calls, nothing else would work. they said i had to have "enhanced internet" or something like that..once they turned that on, it took off! i got the phone in cleveland and pulled that, i'm back in florida and it seems faster than ohio.

OK, I'm checking out T-Mo online. The cheapest plan I see with Unlimited Data is $79.99. Same price as Sprint right???

damn dude, use your mouthpiece lol! if you tell them you want out from sprint, and tell them what you're paying, they'll match or beat it. besides, you pay less per month going month to month as opposed to being under contract with t-mobile....does sprint do that? remember, i've been with sprint for 11 years, i didn't want to leave but i'm not paying $10 more dollars for the same slow service, i did my homework and t-mobile is better than sprint right now.
