I'm curious: if the phone supports quad-band GSM, but 3G only on select networks, then which providers (in the USA) would the 3G features work? Should I assume that T-Mobile is one of these? Thanks, Jon, for the review. I look forward to saving up for one (assuming they're available for joe blows like myself—I got lost online [or just too lazy to click further] looking for how to purchase one).

It only does 3G on the 2100MHz band, which T-Mobile uses. AT&T (are there any other GSM
carriers left in .us?) uses the 1900MHz band, so if you're in .us, T-Mobile is your only choice if you want 3G on the Dev Phone or G1.

The G1 supports UMTS/HSDPA etc on 1700 and 2100 MHz. Most of Europe etc. use 2100 in the USA. AT&T uses 850 and 1900MHz and T-Mobile US are using 1700MHz (although I think they have some spectrum in 2100 as well).

Useful table that somebody else pointed me at:

And the Dream (G1/ADP1) specs say:
* 3G WCDMA (1700/2100 MHz)
