I cannot WAIT for my N1 to show up and peace out on these clowns. Hellllloooooo T-Mobile and your real 7.2 mbps, $80 unlimited everything, and a hefty selection of Android devices.

Used my iPhone in NYC last week, it was pathetic. I cannot believe people pay for service like that in the city. ATL is ok, but wow... NYC was crippled. ]]>Jan 5th 2010 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/How convenient...
Shouldn't I not have to potentially create giant security gapes in my device to simply use the advertised services on said device?

Maybe AT&T can try to get an App through the gauntlet that does all this 733t h4x0rz shit for me?

Oooooorrrrr. I can just go to T-Mobile and use the N1 with better hardware and an upcoming app market. ]]>Jan 5th 2010 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/They keep thinking they can fool us with their defensive ads about reaching 97% of Americans but the people who use the network to its fullest really can't stand it.

Verizon burned them in the TV ads and is still smiling watching ATT having seizures about it and spending tons of cash on worthless ads nobody believes anyway saying Verizon is terrible.

This might not help people with overcrowded pipes, but for those where bandwidth is available it's a noticeable pump.

=P

Seriously get rid of the 5GB/month data cap OR lower the price to $40 or something more palatable for the small amount of data you get without overages.]]>Jan 5th 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/

Soft-cap on data plans.]]>Jan 5th 2010 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/
iPhone has no real cap on data, within reason.

What I meant was on regular data plans. IE USB modem for laptops get rid of the (soft) data cap of 5GB and open it up OR bring the price down drastically from $60 if your going to leave the 5GB in place.

Seriously AT&T stop having your cake and eating it too. Share with the peasants will you.

That's crazy. Never heard of such a deal. I even went though the user agreement and found nothing about caps or limits. Don't know why T-Mobile doesn't offer direct. But if AT&T can give unlimited on iPhone then someone should have been able to do it for laptops.

And look you found it. Awesome !

Thanks !

Soooo when are you dorks going to start making 3G available more than 3 miles outside of a major city?]]>Jan 5th 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/
I don't understand why people compare companies on the standards of other 1st world counties we our infrastructure is about 30 times the size of the average 1st world country.

America has some points has the population density of a 3rd world country, while still retaining 1st world infasture, granted sometimes it's not cutting edge, but 99% of the time in an area in america with populous you can get 1st world amenities.

The fact that we can keep our infrastructure up as well as we do is amazing enough. If you compare our country head to head with most of the first world, we should only have cellphone service in about 45% of the country, rather then the whopping 80% that we DO have. ]]>Jan 5th 2010 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/Jan 5th 2010 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/Jan 6th 2010 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/If or when the iPhone makes it to another carrier in the U.S., AT&T stands to lose millions of unhappy customers.]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/Jan 6th 2010 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/By the end of the article my reaction was: "Nope"]]>Jan 5th 2010 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/Jan 5th 2010 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/Jan 5th 2010 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/atandt-kicks-it-into-overdrive-rolls-out-7-2mbps-everywhere-bu/
