When i first received my phone it was set to internet2, I noticed browsing even youtube the videos would stutter and were not very impressive, I was bummed to say the least. The other day I switched it to epc.tmobile and youtube works, the vids stream smoothly and not much stuttering. So far as I can tell epc seems to be working better in my area.

So what I wound up having to do was call Tmo support, talked with someone at Tier1 who obviously thought I was smarter than they were, then talked to someone at Tier2 who wasn't much better who immediately sent me to Tier3 where some helpful guy got me hooked up right. He said the epc.tmobile.com was the one I wanted and he took the imie number (whether he needed it or not), said it would be working within 48 hours and within 2 minutes life was good. Gotta say I love this phone...

I have the $9.99 unlimited plan. Initially, I thought I was on 3G since I was getting 1/.8Mbps whereas I was getting 1.25/.26 on AT&T 3G. However, when I go to Settings -> Internet Connections -> Connections -> T-Mobile Internet, the connection type indicates GPRS (pre-configured settings, and the access point name is: internet2.voicestream.com). How do I connect via 3G speed connection instead? T-Mobile's coverage map shows that 3G is available in my area.
Edit: The signal indicator next to the battery life indicator switches back and forth between 3G and 3.5. Does that mean I'm connected via 3G and not GPRS (2G)? Or is the signal indicator supposed to constantly remain at 3.5? Also, does the circled double arrow simply mean I'm connected via mobile internet and not wifi? Or does it mean I'm connected via GPRS?

Do you guys know which one would be appropriate one (faster?) to use on N900 with 3G connection?

Under Internet Connections in settings. You'll have to edit the TMobile Internet one.

Also, someone mentioned in this thread that T-Mobile 2G speed was pretty fast. I also recall reading that T-Mobile was due to increase their 3G speed to at least 3Mbps and another poster in this thread mentioned he got around 4Mbps. Then I saw the switching back and forth of the 3G/3.5 signal indicator when connected. Hence, confusion.

TMO uses different APN settings for different phones. The epc.tmobile.com is used for 3G phones like the Android phones and smartphones. It is also the most reliable of all APN settings. wap.voicetream.com will work also if you had the right data provisioning feature on your plan. Basically continue using epc.tmobile.com cuz it works.
