Does anyone know the method behind the 3G coverage madness? In other words, how do they decide who gets 3G coverage? Im in St. Louis and a couple smaller cities seems to be getting 3G before we will.. I figured it would be based off population but that would seem not to be the case.

Maybe it's based off the density of Tmo subscribers in a particular area?

Probably a number of things. Here in Tampa we should have it by the end of the year. TMob is contracting a deal with Brighthouse to supply 3g coverage.
