Default Is the TM 9810 4G?

Under the listing of phones on their main web site, it says "3G", and "coming soon".
On their customer support forum, under specs, it says "4G".

====
Unrelated question: Has anything been announced when OS7 will get UMA or wifi calling?

The answer is a bit complex. The 9810 is specified by RIM as a HSUPA device for GSM service

http://m.blackberry.com/us/en/torch-9810-specs.html

BlackBerry® Torch™ 9800/9810 smartphones offer 8 GB of memory1, Wi-Fi® and HSPA+ high-speed connections.

TM says

4G Mobile Broadband Provider | T-Mobile

T-Mobile customers with 4G phones are already experiencing data speeds that are comparable to or faster than the speed of a home broadband network. And with recent improvements to our 4G network-doubling our theoretical download speeds-we're giving our customers enhanced 4G data speeds. We've seen average download speeds on our HSPA+ 42 Mbps-capable data stick approaching 10 Mbps with peak speeds of 27 Mbps, and download speeds approaching 8 Mbps with peak speeds of 20 Mbps on our upcoming HSPA+ 42 Mbps-capable smartphones.

It said "3G" a couple days ago. They must have changed it just recently.

Just marketing gimmick anyway. Those 4G phones on T-Mobile really aren't 4G, more so 3. 5.

IIRC they were supposed to be getting sued over that. I wonder what happened with that?
