News from the lab. In the field however...
As far as T-Mobile's 3G infrastructure here in San Francisco goes, I
found on-street and in-building coverage pretty sketchy thus far.
About half of the places I am going around town regularly fall back to
Edge. Say there's 3G coverage inside 101 California, none at the Ferry
Building a few steps away. There's coverage in the lobby of the Hyatt
Fisherman's Wharf, none inside. And so on. When I take the G1 I find
myself constantly checking the signal indicator. This leads me to
believe T-Mobile would have to add a substantial amount of towers to
reach decent coverage. *That's just my experience with my particular
handset*, others perhaps have gotten more out of it. In any case, the
air's thin up there in the 2GHz range (talking about signal
penetration, and I am sure there are more constraining factors) and
site development is expensive, impossible in cases.
