AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network

[Ihearrtdsm]

I've been both moving and stationary, watched my phone (Blackberry Bold) go from full service to none in the blink of an eye, within 20 seconds is back to full service.

I blame the magnetic pole shift.

Same thing would happen with my Japanese phone in certain areas.

My iphone 4 sucks. It always drops calls and I hate it! Next time im going to verizon.

^Yeah, but couldn't we get them jailbroken?
You can get them unlocked, but seeing as the only other major GSM carrier is
t-mobile you arent really gaining any ground except for a cheaper rate.

It's also a pita as far as software updates go. You also end up with super-slow data speeds on Tmo since the iPhone doesn't support their higher speed data standard.

I had no idea, looks like I'll be stuck with AT&T for quite some time.

Well there may be another option sooner than you think :)

I've had all the major carrier's for at least a year and switched to AT&T last spring. And of all the big players I have the best reception and least amount of dropped calls. Maybe it's worse in the cities than it is out in the country where I am.

I'll believe it when it happens. Its been talked about and "confirmed" for years now and still nothing. Even at that I've seen at least three different dates for it to be announced this year. Not saying it wont happen, just that I don't believe any of the rumors about it anymore. On top of that Verizon is sooo expensive that I would never go through them anyway.

So the iphone 4 is now 4g-capable? Sweet!
