Another Internet speed test pitting four 3G phones against one another. The takeaway? 3G coverage is lousy in Oakland. Or ... Noah has no idea what he's doing.

B&N takes on Kindle with new 3G eReader, the Nook (AT&T)

If I could layer in some old 60s Batman-style audio of “Smashes,” “Booms” and “Blams” into these posts, I would. This would be a great place to use them. In a move that may frighten Amazon’s Kindle department, Barnes & Noble's debuted the $259 Nook today. The Nook is the first eReading device with both 3G (via AT&T) and Wifi for downloading content from B&N online. Most interestingly, it runs...

AT&T quietly launches 3G microcell in Charlotte

The good news?  After several weeks of speculation and Twitter rumors, AT&T is quietly rolling out its 3G MicroCell.  The bad news?  As of right now, it's part of a public trial that's only available in Charlotte (with more markets on the way by the end of the year).  For $150, those in the Charlotte metro area can pick up the device, which is said to enhance voice and (3G) data coverage for up to 5,000 square...

Due to 3G issue, AT&T pulls Nokia Mural off of store shelves

A 3G phone that doesn't work on 3G bands?  What kind of foolishness is that?  The Nokia Mural becomes the second Nokia device in two months to be recalled on AT&T - bad publicity for both the manufacturer and carrier, and frustrating for end users.  Apparently, the initial batch of Mural's aren't connecting to AT&T's 3G network; a problem, given that the phone is marketed as just that - a 3G device.  Unfortunately,...

T-Mobile launches 3G in parts of Florida and Texas

The boys over at TmoNews are always working hard to find the latest T-Mobile news, and today is no exception.  In a news announcement sure to please some magenta users in Florida and Texas, new 3G coverage areas have been announced.  If you live in College Station, Beaumont, Bryan, or Galveston, you now have the ability to surf on your phone at 3G speeds.  In Florida, T-Mobile was generous enough to provide 3G to Lakeland,...

T-Mobile 3G rollout schedule

The good folks at TmoNews have a reliable source (and when TmoNews says that, you can pretty much take it to the bank) that has leaked the 3G rollout plans for 2009. There's a photo detailing May, and a list covering the remainder of the year. It's not too specific but I'd rather get a rough idea than set my sights on a particular date only to see it pushed back three times. Wouldn't you? Let the copy/paste begin! Q2:     *...

Here comes Android: T-Mobile lights Bay Area up with 3G

We knew it was coming, we just didn't think it'd be here so soon.  According to T-Mobile's coverage maps, my home, my office, and the rest of the San Francisco Bay Area is now blanketed with 3G data coverage.  According to my Sony Ericsson TM506, one of my network options is now "T-Mobile 3G."  Sweet.

Noah Answers Your Questions - Can the iPhone 3G stay "new and fun"?

Q. Hey Noah, love the site.  Now if I got the Apple iPhone 3G, my Question is will it stay new and fun and not seem outdated after 2 years. I tend to get bored of phones after a little over a year.  Thank you for your time. Keep up the good work on PhoneDog! A.

What is 3G video service?

Our friends in parts of Asia and Europe have been enjoying "3G" high-speed cellular services for some time now, while true 3G networks are still ramping up to speed stateside.  One use of 3G cellular networks has been for video services including streaming entertainment and video calling (many 3G phones actually have two cameras: a high quality shooter on the back, and a lower-res camera on the front for video calling).  Verizon...

Looks like the law dogs get it first in Ocala area. Hwy 441 north of Belleview at the split where the sheriffs substation is you will pick up a 3G signal for 1 or 2 mile area only. Havent checked the area near other substations like the one in Ocklawaha yet,

Re: AT&T quietly launches 3G microcell in Charlotte

If you call and complain enough, Sprint will give you the Airave free of charge. Make sure you have something to actually complain about though. Dont be a jerk.

In my case, I supposedly live in Fair coverage area but constantly dropped calls and 2 miles up the road was a complete dead zone. After 2 dropped support tickets, they gave me an Airave and credited $50 to my account.

Re: Due to 3G issue, AT&T pulls Nokia Mural off of store shelves

Re: Tidbit Tuesday: New iPhone rumors; mysterious Palm devices at Sprint

I called t-mobile in regards to this. An associate that i spoke to said he was not aware of this. NOw i work in a call center environment and when something major is taking place that could seriously impact the business, everyone is taught in a sense...how to handle calls. SO anyways he said he wasn't aware and that he needed to research it...so after research he said that this only affects people who activated their phones between 2004 and 2008 and unfortunately i activated my phone in 2003. it was so weird because i have two phone lines one activated in 2003 and the other 2009...it just so happened that both my activations dates fell outside their time frames. Correct me if im wrong...but changes in contract applies to everyone regardless of when you activate the acccount.....lemme know what u guys think.
