Default Unlocked ChaCha on Tmobile US data problem

I have an unlocked ChaCha that i am using to replace one of my HD2's (one running WM7 dual booted with Android 2.3.3, and one im replacing is strictly Android 2.2)

Anyway i have this ChaCha unlocked and popped my sim card in and everythign works fine except even after putting the different APN's out there for Tmobile US, im still only connecting to Edge (at least thats waht it says in the data connection area in the status bar)

i tried doing a Mobile Connection Test and i got results in the 3g range..so im confused.

Then i did a test on my HD2 WM7 and got results in the 4g range. Is my ChaCha running HSPL / 3G and just says "E" for edge or do i need to modify / edit something else?

Any help would be appreciated. If i confused anyone please let me know and i can clarify because i really need to figure out whats going on

actually i dont think at all its running at 3g speeds because downloading skype from android market just took a couple minutes, where as my HD2 does it within seconds

I only typed in wap.voicestream.com.

You will only get EDGE if you use your t-mobile sim. The radio frequencies are not the same.
