Leak reveals cities that will be covered by T-Mobile's LTE on March 26th

On Friday, we told you about 9 cities that had apparently started receiving T-Mobile's LTE signal. This was based on information received from OpenSignal, a crowdsourced Android app that announces where to find wireless coverage. T-Mobile is expected to officially launch its LTE service this coming Tuesday at a major event that should also include the introduction of the carrier's new pricing plans.

On March 26th, T-Mobile is expected to launch the BlackBerry Z10 which will also run over the operator's LTE pipeline. Also on March 26th. the T-Mobile Sonic 2.0 HotSpot will be released with LTE support. Somewhere down the road, a new version of the Samsung Galaxy S III is expected for T-Mobile with LTE support.
