tmobile logo Ah there’s nothing like the good ol rumor mill to fill up the news stories on an otherwise boring Monday. This one isn’t exactly juicy per se.. but it’s interesting nevertheless - at least to T-Mobile users. A number of websites (probably all eventually citing the same source I bet) are reporting that T-Mobile will roll out their 3G service on October 1st in 20+ cities across the country.  To make things even more interesting, some are speculating that the company will also announce their first Android based mobile phone that very same day. And what might that first Android phone be for T-Mobile? Rumors have it that it’s the HTC Dream.

Of course, all this is pure speculation at this point. There’s also speculation that the company will introduce three other phones at the 3G launch including the Sony Ericsson Z780, a Samsung handset, and the Motorola ZINE ZN5. Now what cities might get 3G support? They include Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Birmingham, Ala.; Chicago; Dallas; Denver; Detroit; Houston; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; Memphis,Tenn.; Miami; Minneapolis; Long Island, N.Y.; Orlando, Fla.; Philadelphia; Phoenix; Portland, Ore.; Sacramento, Calif.; San Diego; San Francisco; Seattle; Tampa, Fla.; and Washington, D.C.

3G rollout for T-Mobile would definitely be welcome news to the carrier - but how many people would actually care about an Android phone (aside from Google employees!)?
