*Confirmed* Wave Will Run On AT&T & T-Mo Minus 3G

As stated in the previous article, the Wave will in fact run on AT&T and T-Mobile in the United States but will not run 3G which is a let down but that is how it usually goes. So if you want the Wave just to have one and use it for making calls and sending texts then great! However, if you want to browse the web and download apps…it might be slow.
