In addition, T-Mobile has expanded coverage in additional cities in previously announced metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C.
In all of these major metropolitan areas, customers currently using any of T-Mobile’s 16 3G devices can benefit from enhanced speeds when using T-Mobile’s super-fast HSPA+ network, including more than a dozen smartphones.
Complementing the network expansion is wider availability of the T-Mobile® webConnect broadband products in T-Mobile retail stores in all HSPA+ areas including the T-Mobile Rocket™ USB Laptop Stick, the first HSPA+ capable device from a national U.S. wireless carrier, and the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 with T-Mobile webConnect, T-Mobile’s first netbook.
