Mobile: Google G2 / HTC-Magic cannot do 3G on ATTW :(

May 30th, 2009 by jeremychone

Basically, it is a 3G band issue. TMobile & AT&T Wireless do not use the same 3G bands (AT&T Wireless does not use use the conventional ones). G2/HTC-Magic was built for TMobile.

The G2/HTC-MagicĀ 3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100

AT&T Wireless usesĀ 850mhz(the old TDMA band) and 1900mhz for 3G.

Here is a great post about the TMobile/ATTW 3G band issue.

Ho, well, it was too good to be true. Edge is still not that bad, at least for email/calendar and even Map.
