Afraid not, Tmo 3g is a different beast than ATT 3g.

Rooting won't help because this is a hardware issue, not software. T-Mobile's frequencies cannot be seen by an unlocked/AT&T Streak, and thus you will be limited to 2G (EDGE) speeds.

Your only alternative is to find an AWS Streak. These units have a different receiver in them than the standard, and are fully usable on T-Mobile.

They're very hard to come by. You just have to keep an eye out for one or convince someone to let go of theirs
