    Depending on what radio frequency you carrier has then you will still not be able to get 3G working. But any carrier that uses the *5025* or *5030* radio will have 3G working. Just set your APN accordingly.

    3G works perfectly for me now - never had any APN or data working with older 2.1 versions. On Orange UK pay monthly.

    The older 2.1 ROMS apparently had problems reading some SIMs, and in saving APNs, in some machines and this has now been cleared up with the newer ROMS (better hardware drivers) so the only issue you would have is compatibility of your radio with the ROM, which I think is okay with 5025. If the new build comes with a radio built in that is newer than yours you will not be able to reinstall your old radio. so this is what you need to check as it will be the US build with US frequencies. If there is no radio in the build, you can do a nandroid backup (thru the recovery screen) before installing 2.1 and if it does not work it will then reinstall the original ROM and app's. (If you are unrooted, though, you can not directly backup the original ROM as it has to be overwritten with a rooted ROM first).

    This whole radio thing is confusing me also. On Optus here in Australia, we are on the same freqs as Europe (900/2100 for 3G) and have baseband 5025. If you punch in the following in the dialler: *#*#4636#*#* you will get an extra setting menu, press the menu button on the networks option and you will get more settings. Telstra here is 850/2100 and I expect is AUS2, I tried this and lost the ability to even select 3G in the main standard settings network setup menu. Perhaps if you fiddle with this it might help.

    Now... for me to root, is it ok to go from 5025 to 5030? Or should I keep away from mucking about with radios? I guess flashing any kind of t-mobile f/w with a radio image is probably a recipe for non-3G but am unsure.. if only you could get a nandroid backup first by flashing a temporary recovery..
