New ASUS FonePad ME371MG Android 16GB 3G+WIFI

I currently have T-Mobile Monthly Plan in the USA. Will the International Version of the New ASUS FonePad work with T-Mobile? If yes, how of a degradation will there be on web surfing performance?

Thanks in Advance.

HSPA+ UL:5.76 Mbps/DL:21 Mbps
2G:EDGE/GPRS/GSM : 850/900/1800/1900
3G:WCDMA :850/900/1900/2100

I'm wondering about this, too. I need one device for everything and a 10" tablet is big for me, as I want to be able to comfortably hold it with one hand while comfortably navigating it with the other. Now, which frequency are you referring to, bhero? 1700 ? I'm having the same reservations but check this out: I've used my AT&T's i717 that seems to have exact same frequencies, as the fonepad for almost a year now and I'm on T-Mobile. I'm getting download speeds of 15-25 MBps on HSPA+ in the San Francisco bay area (not a reframed area). I guess the 2100MHz band must be doing it. Or? Thoughts? I'm seriously considering this device, if the Nexus 7 cannot be made to make voice calls over GSM, as both AT&T & T-Mobile versions of it seem to have all the frequencies needed. Will be interesting to see what Nexus 7.2 will bring to the table, so I'm waiting a couple more weeks but the Fonepad is one of the strongest contesters
