The next feature is the T-Mobile’s take on speed. The company officials requested that we do not open any online pages or conduct speed testing on these phones. This indicated that either the company was unsure about the connectivity in the location or this HSPA+42 system may still be unprepared for this feature. Nonetheless, using this network, both the phones, Amaze and Galaxy SII can theoretically offer a speed of 42 Mbps.

Commonly, the speeds available in San Francisco is miniscule in comparison to the theoretical limit.
