In the case of this forum/subforum, an unlocked AT&T Blackberry Bold 9700 won't get T-Mobile 3G even if you're located in a T-Mobile 3G area and an unlocked T-Mobile 3G Blackberry Bold 9700 won't get AT&T 3G even if you're located in an AT&T 3G area. The same goes with the Canadian carriers that I mentioned above... an unlocked Wind Blackberry Bold 9700 won't get 3G from Rogers/Fido/Rogers/Bell.
