UK Legend operating on T-Mobile US?

[Guest 3djon]

I'll be moving back stateside this August and I'd love to use my sim free Legend on a gsm provider back home.

T-mobile US 3G bands are (900/AWS/2100 MHz)

The Legend is specified for use at: HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz

Can anyone clarify if I'll be able to get 3G on a T-mobile US sim?

Or even knowing the bands are similar does the fact that T-mobile uses AWS and not HSPA/WCDMA mean I wont get 3g?

Any type of clarification would be helpful
