iPhone 5 on T-Mobile's 4G network?
According to GSM Arena, it seems the iPhone 5 supports the 1700MHz band, so theoretically it should work on T-Mobile's 4G network right?

It will work on the LTE network they will release in 2012
The 3G/HPSA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA will be reframed to 1900mhz by the end of this year so any iphone can connect

You will need to buy the A1428 model and not A1429
If I have helped please press the little thanks button in the right hand corner

The A1428 has LTE on bands 4 and 17 (1700mhz and 700mhz [b-block])
This is also known as the AT&T version so all those unlocking AT&T iPhones will have AWS support on LTE
Verizon/Sprint on the other hand (or unlocked iphones outside the US/Canada) will not have such support.
If I have helped please press the little thanks button in the right hand corner
