AT&T Getting Android Soon? Yes. Motorola Backflip/Enzo!

Chris Leckness — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:37:45 +0000

Look what AT&T might be working on… An Android phone.

First of all, our tipster referred to it as the “Motorola Enzo” although he said it could be called Backflip on launch day, which – to us at least – seems more likely. Feast your eyes, ladies and gents, on what will very likely become AT&T’s first Android Phone:

I wouldn’t normally be really excited about “just a rumor”, but in this case, unless this is a super photoshop job, I am sold. Android to AT&T is confirmed!

AT&T Marks the Spot

Chris Leckness — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:51:39 +0000

I have to say, this is a great idea. If AT&T doesn’t know where they are having trouble, they can’t fix it huh? Now there is no excuse, AT&T releases an app (iTunes Link) to share where and what happened…

AT&T’s 3G network outperforms Verizon’s?

Chris Leckness — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:41:15 +0000

AT&T and Verizon are still taking blows at each other on the airwaves with all their ads countering each others strengths and weaknesses, but they have taken the fight out of the court system. A couple days later, Telephony Online published an article stating that AT&T outperforms Verizon in an independent report recently.

AT&T’s mobile data network problems compared to Verizon’s are mainly problems of perception, according to independent testing firm Root Wireless. On most critical performance metrics, AT&T’s 3G networks comes out on top, they say

I guess the real test is how each of them perform for you in your own city. For me, in Tuscaloosa Alabama, they are both really strong. I have no complaints with either company. I personally use AT&T, but if Verizon was GSM, it would be a toss up. This article goes pretty deep into the testing, well beyond the real life tests we all do in our own cities daily.

Root tested VZW and AT&T’s networks in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles-Orange County, New York, San Francisco, Seattle-Tacoma and Washington, DC. According to its data, AT&T’s average download speed ranged from 246 kb/s to 428 kb/s across the seven markets, while VZW’s average speeds ranged from 195 kb/s to 259 kb/s, validating AT&T’s claim of having the nation’s fastest 3G network. Verizon’s uplink-optimized EV-DO revision A network, however, beat out AT&T in upload speeds in most of those markets, though not by much. Average uplink bandwidth for both operators ranged from 94 kb/s to 138 kb/s. In general the chance for a data connection failure was low for both operators, never exceeding 3%, but AT&T managed to best or match Verizon in all seven markets. Surprisingly, Sprint (NYSE:S) had the highest connection failure rate, ranging from 11% to 15%, calling into question Sprint’s “most reliable network” claims.

BlackBerry Tutorial: Browser Fix with BlackBerry MCP

Sam Hobson — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:53:32 +0000

I recently fixed my BlackBerry Bold and am now gonna start posting BlackBerry stuff again. And I’m going to start off with a tutorial on how to activate the Internet Browser as the default instead of MEdia Net and WAP.

This tutorial is aimed at those with an AT&T BlackBerry who have upgraded to a leaked OS 5.0 and find they are stuck with MEdia Net as the default browser, which means they can’t change the homepage, set the identity, or search from the address page, among other things.

The tutorial is after the break.

Cyber Monday According to AT&T

Kevin Song — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:50:31 +0000

AT&T’s got a couple of Cyber Monday deals, for just one penny. Of course, you’ll have to sign the obligatory two year contract, but still, if you’re in the market for a new phone, or your contract has recently expired, it may be a good opportunity.

On the other hand, some of you might want to wait and save that 2 year renewal for the recently discovered iPhone3,1, if it does indeed come out some time next year.

Cyber Monday: 1 Cent Sale.

*Purchase for only one penny the Nokia e71x; Sony Cybershot; Curve 8900; Pantech Reveal; or, Samsung Jack. Device offers rotate every three hours. Two-year service agreement required.

Get a Tilt 2 for -$99.99, Yes that’s negative $99.99…

Chris Leckness — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:24:12 +0000

Yes, you read that right. Wal Mart is selling the Tilt 2 for 1 cent. Take that offer, get a $100 rebate from HTC and you have a hot phone and you make $99.99. Sounds like the best deal ever if you ask me.

Now this isn’t exactly getting $99.99 absolutely free, that part comes from the HTC trade in program I posted about the other day. I mean, if you qualify and plan to do it anyhow, it’s a sweet deal.

Review: HTC Tilt2 from at&t

Stephen Borders — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:02:18 +0000

Having finished my time with the HTC Pure I have now turned my attention to the second device from at&t to sport Windows Mobile 6.5, the HTC Tilt2. After two weeks I must say I have enjoyed this device. Although it is not perfect, it is, in my opinion the perfect replacement for my aging Tilt. I didn’t feel this way about the Fuze because the keyboard was cramped, it felt blocky compare to the Tilt and it still had a 2.8 inch screen (although the resolution had been improved dramatically. The Tilt2 however has all the right hardware and software upgrades for me to make it a worthwhile purchase.This won’t be a comparison review as I feel many are doing these days, (well other than compare it to the original tilt), but a review of this device standing on it’s own from a person who still likes to use Windows Mobile. We’ll talk about the hardware and the software, the good and the bad what I like and dislike about it as a whole. So let’s get started – after the break

The Blackberry Bold 9700 went on sale this weekend on the AT&T website. $199.99 after rebates with a 2 year contract will get you out the door on this one. The 9700 has already made it’s rounds on other carriers, but now it’s AT&T’s turn. I am seriously considering making this a Christmas gift for my wife, but I already bought her the B&N Nook. Hmm.

Xperia X10 to AT&T?

Chris Leckness — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:46:18 +0000

This is a hot looking Android phone and Engadget is speculating that it’s headed towards AT&T when it finally becomes available..

…the XPERIA X10, is still a long way from being released, but already we can narrow down the list of potential US carriers to just one: AT&T. The guys over at Phandroid were the first to spot the newly added UMTS frequency specs for the phone, and the available 800/850/1900/2100 bands fit only AT&T’s 3G network.

The prices floating around are about right for a high end, unlocked phone (~$900), but with carrier subsidy, it should be decently priced with a 2 year deal. Of course this is all based on speculation at this point, but you have to admit, it looks about right. My guess is that it sells unlocked only with no carrier brand though.
