    Default Does the Note work on T-Mobile now that they support band 1900?

    T-Mobile may be transitioning 1900 band to HSPA+

    Yes,
    The AT&T Note works on T-Mobile, and they have the radios swapped over for 3G/4G I believe. I haven't read the entire thread on it yet.

    The radio swaps to get 3G/4G on current T-Mobile bands have mixed results among users. It seems to work, but not as well/as fast as a phone with official T-Mobile 3G/4G bands.

    That is not entirely correct. Some users are seeing over 10mbps download. Some users are seeing much less. It seems pretty hit or miss but it is possible to have fast speeds.

    I'm getting -71 for signal strength and all bars lit up @ 12 MB down and 4 MB up on the T-Mobile hack. They are faster than what my LTE speeds are from AT&T. I can switch out the sim cards and use both Carriers. T-Mobile HSPA+ is faster than AT&T's LTE NETWORK.

    I would also like to know this.

    Also, is there a way to find out if your market currently supports 3G/4G on the 1900 band?
