A handful of other cities will be covered by 3G in September. San Diego will go live Sept. 15; L.A. and Phoenix go live on the 16th, Sacramento on the 17th, Portland on the 18th, Seattle on the 23rd (odd that T-Mo's home town is so far down this list), followed by San Francisco on Sept. 24.

Other cities launching later this year include: Atlanta, Birmingham, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Kansas City, Memphis, Miami, New England, Orlando, Philadelphia, Tampa, and Washington, D.C.

While T-Mobile's roster of 3G-capable phones isn't super exciting, the HTC Dream -- an Android phone -- will be released later this year, supporting T-Mobile's 3G network.
