Does the Qualcomm "Gobi" MDM6600 wireless chip support the 1700 MHz AWS band that T-Mobile USA and some other foreign carriers use for 3G?
It may support the frequency but the Verizon won't work with T-Mobile 3G

I don't think T-mobile can afford the iPhone

Doesn't matter. If it has AWS, then I can use it with T-Mobile.
If the iPhone 4S will use the MDM6600 chip, how come it's tech specs on Apple's Web site mentions nothing about 1700 MHz nor AWS?

Because it doesn't matter what a chip _can_ support, if the device it's inside wasn't built and programmed to use it.
For instance, the first Verizon iPhone had a dual mode GSM+CDMA chipset, but there were no parts (filters, power amps) or software to enable the GSM side to work.
Likewise, the iPhone 4S must/might be lacking the same for the GSM 1700 band.
