If you walked up to any non-techie, technologically inept individual and tried to explain why an iPhone on AT&T — regardless of cell signal strength, coverage, etc – is still better than an iPhone on Verizon, they’d probably laugh at you and walk away. At least here in the US, AT&T’s image has become synonymous with sub-par quality, coverage, and performance. Verizon on the other hand has benefited from AT&T’s foibles. On the...
The MyTouch HD has been one of the more interesting handsets to follow in recent memory, mainly due to it’s lofty goals and brag-worthy hardware specs. Speaking of which, those specs were only rumored to be beastly as we didn’t really have any real concrete evidence to chew on. But alas, a marketing flyer for the MyTouch HD has slipped, and in doing so raises a few eyebrows. First and foremost, it mentions a “dual processor”. That likely means...
LTE is the only thing mobile broadband nuts can focus on. But with promised speeds of 25Mbps+, wouldn’t you? Unfortunately, here in the States we have to deal with a lot of landmass which inherently slows down major network upgrades to the point of being several years behind European markets. Though Verizon’s LTE network is rumored to be going live a tad earlier than expected near the end of this summer/early fall. Though that release would not be accompanies...
4G pundits be dammed, Tmo will have the last laugh…or so they hope. T-Mobile has long been “the underdog” against the other three larger (AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon) carriers in regards to network size, coverage, and even speed. But Tmo is in a unique position to one-up the competition for relatively cheap. Currently, AT&T and Verizon are in the progress of rolling out and testing their next generation LTE-based 4G networks — costly and...
Consider me a tad shocked. PhoneScoop ran some tests comparing Sprint’s new WiMax network against T-Mobile’s HSDPA+ network to see who really was the fastest in Philly. After all was said and done, T-Mobile actually came out on top with peak download speeds of 5,442 kbps and 1,888 kbps! Course, very little people are using T-Mo’s HSPA+ network at this point so of course the speeds are going to be up there. On the low end of the spectrum, T-Mo puttered...
