Question T-Mobile USA

I know this is not coming to T-Mobile USA. However, I wanted to know if I bought this, would this work on T-Mo USA's 4G network?

I had the same question but according to what i have found, T-mobile uses 1700/2100Mhz (need both) for their 4g frequencies and the htc one x is only compatible with 1900Mhz, 2100, 1800, and 850. there have supposedly been customer's reporting that have been using a 1900Mhz frequency on T-mobile but i have not been able to confirm that. I have heard that they are planning to use the 1900Mhz frequency to roll out their LTE late this year or next but to answer your question it would only get edge for now, (officially at least).

Yeah man, after bugging T-Mo USA's tech support and stalking confusing threads in T-Mo USA forums, I've grasped the concept... Mostly. You're 100% correct.

Yeah, you're right, we'll only get Edge. Very fast Edge, however, but still Edge. Now, the people in the USA who are getting 4G out of the X are the few people living in areas where T-Mo USA has released the 1900HSPA+. But, the roll out is just starting.

Also talking with Tech support, the guy was hinting that I should wait until summer if I don't see what I like then, wait until Christmas. I think I'll do exactly that.
