3G status within the US?

[Brad Midgley]

It seems like I've heard of people with tmobile using neo without too
much trouble, but I'm not sure if that was with a current SIM you
would get on a new account. I haven't seen a place for success reports
in the wiki, so people will have to speak up if they have it working.

This whole problem is certain to be fixed once FIC turns the crank
again, either on the nextgen phone or if they bother to freshen the p1
offering. The nextgen phone might have an edge radio so the same
problem is unlikely to be present to start with.
