It's okay. Remember that the iPhone does GPRS and EDGE. T-Mobile
does *not* do EDGE meaning the phone can only really use GPRS which
will give you 92kb/sec (according to speed tests I've done online) to
play with which isn't all that fantastic.

However, the phone does roam onto WiFi networks which it's familiar
with.
