Unlocked or Not, Your iPad Won't Be Able to Use T-Mobile's 3G Network [Apple]

We're excited that the iPad's data plans won't lock you down in a 2-year contract and that the device's 3G modem isn't carrier-locked. But you still won't get 3G speeds on an iPad if you decide to use T-Mobile.
Why? The iPad's 3G modem supports four frequencies: 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 Mhz. T-Mobile's 3G runs on 1700 Mhz. See the trouble? You could of course still get EDGE data service using T-Mobile, but that's just not as great as the theoretically blazing 3G speeds, is it?
