Poor Nexus One owners. They have in their possession the top of the line Android handset (for now) and yet it’s half broken. Since launch, N1 users have been complaining of fairly widespread 3G connectivity issues, with their phones rolling back to homely ‘ol EDGE in areas that are plenty saturated with 3G particles. To remedy this, Google and T-Mobile pushed out an update many days back that was claimed to cure N1 users’ 3G woes. Now that everyone...

It’s a time for said groups to represent their country on the world stage, proving that they are just a cut above the rest.

If you are tired of continual network problems and calls to AT&T go unanswered, perhaps taking matters into your own hands is the best solution. That’s the goal of AT&T’s new...
If there’s one thing about wireless network tests, it’s that they’re constantly being conducted by various groups looking to disprove claims of their competitors while bolstering claims of their own. The last several months of my AT&T contract were hell. Dropped calls increased by day, signal strength was abysmal, and rounding out the trifecta was a trip to a University of Michigan football game when I couldn’t place a single call, text, or...
