T-Mobile 3G May Not Be Data Ready

I'm not an engineering type. I just use technology. So when I read Matt Miller's post this morning it got me thinking.

3G is data. Voice rides over the data network. What this likely means is the data plans are not ready yet. I mean, TMO didn't need 1700 mghz spectrum to sell voice.

Besides, the cute sales lady at the UTC T-Mobile store told me months ago they will have 3G data in the Spring when I bought a new device there. What's the big mystery?

The mystery is T-Mobile got caught before THEY put the story out.
