With all the subscribers (= money) AT&T has gained in the last three years, you would think there would have been progress toward making their 3G more reliable, consistent, and widely available. The exact opposite has happened. My iPhone 3GS reverts to slower speed connections more than half the time. It drops calls regularly. For the few minutes out of the day where the 3G actually works and stays connected, yes it's fast. The rest of the time it's miserably slow and flaky.
When is AT&T going to start spending more money stabilizing their network and less money on stupid defensive ads which every AT&T user knows are false? Their network is already crumbling under the existing load. STOP adding more devices and fix your damn network already.
A new version of the Google Nexus One phone will soon arrive for use on AT&T’s 3G network, according to a CNET News report.
Currently, the phone only works on T-Mobile in the U.S. but customers can already buy an unlocked version of it for $529 to use it on AT&T’s network - but only on AT&T’s 2.5G or EDGE networks.
The information doesn’t come from AT&T but rather from documents filed with the Federal Communications Commission and posted by CNET. When Google launched the Nexus One last month, it said the device would be available for Verizon Wireless and Sprint this Spring.
The report notes that the new version will “operate in the 3G wireless bands for WCDMA Bands I, II and V, which are used by AT&T and Canadian wireless providers Rogers, Bell Canada and Telus Mobility.”
The report said the device will likely work through most of Europe, too.
