Default Questions about unlocked 3G!

I was wondering if the 3G was going to be unlocked and what will be the pros and cons for the phone on T-Mobile. Can somebody message me to help me out cause i really want to know about this phone being under T-Mobile if possible. I know these questions are dumb im kind of clueless.

Going with T-Mobile on the 3G will be pretty useless because they aren't on the same 3G band so to speak. Also when you get the 3G, you have to sign a 2yr contract with ATT. So it would be pretty costly to try to go with T-Mobile.

I've thought about this as well but as mentioned, 3G would not work and neither would visual voicemail.....ATT prices are crazy though compared to Sprint (which I have now) and T-Mobile.

Probably a month or less.

Might see a story, but I doubt you will see a final release in two days. Possible though because the firmware has probably been leaked. I will revise and say no more than 2 weeks.

doubt it will be but it could be in the future, doing this tho you will not have 3g and a number of other potential problems that could make buying it and unlocking it a waste of time and money
