Holy crap. I live in Miami, Florida. WHERES MY 3G?????? Lol sounds like Metro is stepping their game up. I thought they were skipping 3g entirely and going to 4g.

 

[elcocho852]

they didnt forget about our phones guys im hella happy because its hella fast... i think they got 3g because they are going to get new 3g android phones and without 3g or 4g android phones suck, and they werent saling there phones.. Did you guys know that they are going to launch a 4g android phone with a front facing camara in novemeber..

I'm in the DFW area (more specifically, the northern suburbs) and have it. Mine stayed at prl 3020 but my wife's phone went back to 3019 today. Later on I plan to do a manual update to see if I can get hers back to 3020.

I am in SWFL. I just did the *228 prl update and it stayed at 3019.

Im in SFL but have not seen 3G icon (i barely use the cell network). Does anyone know if i need to be on Version 2.2.2 to get this?

Not much is known at this point. It could just be a fluke and go away. It could be implemented in some places and not others. I would really doubt that the OS version would have anything to do with it. The prl version makes a lot of sense though.

i've also noticed the pics on this thread says EVDO Rev. 0. But on another post the Huawei Ascend shows EVDO Rev A. http://androidforums.com/huawei-ascend/385277-metro-pcs-has-3g-now.html
