RM-937 on T-Mobile

Will the rm-937 version of the 1520 work on t-mobile and if so what kind of speed might I expect? I do get LTE where I live.

So I've seen three different models posted on the web the rm-937 which is the global version, rm-938 which i guess is the att version and an rm-940 or something like that.

I don't think the RM-937 will work very well on T-Mobile. First, it doesn't have LTE band 4 (otherwise known as LTE over AWS band). Worse, the phone doesn't support AWS on 3G, either. It DOES support 3G over PCS (1.9GHz), but that requires a refarmed area. Basically, unless I am reading the specs wrong, you would be better off with the RM-940 (AT&T variant) on T-Mobile than the RM-937. At least you'd have LTE in the T-Mo LTE markets.

Just curious... is RM-937 fully compatible with the frequencies of any carrier anywhere in the world?
