Who cares if it's not "true" 4G? It's fast as lightning.]]>Jul 21st 2010 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/
I don't care to be honest. Where did I ever say that it wasn't? However I have heard that exact statement from other people on Engadget.

And just like its typical to find people saying that WiMax isn't 4G (I'll defer to the truly informed people) to decide that one .From the little I know though I don't believe WiMax qualifies as 4G. I've heard it explained as just wider and bigger WiFi.

What's even more amusing though is that in the latest spread of verizon articles you've got commentators saying that that even LTE isn't 4G...

So what the heck is 4G?]]>Jul 21st 2010 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/

WiMAX and even the first LTE networks aren't 4G (maybe to a marketer but certainly not a wireless engineer). The technical term being touted is "3.9G".

To be truly 4G it needs to be capable of 100Mbps - 1Gbs and have a fully IP-based core.]]>Jul 21st 2010 8:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/Jul 21st 2010 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/Jul 21st 2010 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/Jul 21st 2010 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/Jul 21st 2010 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/
My friend... None of them are 4G. They use that for marketing purposes. They all 3G. It's just a new hardware that boost 3G that's all. It's just to catch peoples attention that's all. And it's also a stepping stone towered 4G.]]>Jul 21st 2010 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/since you got serious then this is the solution to the war problem

Unfortunately, they lost.

Unless there's some secret plan offerings they have (or if you have a grandfathered-in deal), I haven't found anything less expensive than TMO]]>Jul 21st 2010 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/Jul 21st 2010 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/
The $10 "tax" isn't just for 4G. It also includes true unlimited data and USB tethering. The 4G service is good enough in my area that I'm contemplating canceling Comcast and using my Evo as the primary internet connection at home. $80 a month for cell service, home broadband and 3G/4G mobile data is an amazing deal, and no other carrier is even close.]]>Jul 21st 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/Jul 21st 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/Jul 21st 2010 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/Jul 21st 2010 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/I meant 4G]]>Jul 21st 2010 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/Jul 21st 2010 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/t-mobiles-hspa-blankets-85-million-americans-in-warm-4g-comf/

Relax sunshine, I'm very much well aware that 'true' 4G has to be rolled out and I don't believe I said anything about LTE or WiMAX being 'true' 4G either. I was merely commenting on what was reported because I got an ironic chuckle out of it. No need to get your knickers in a twist, mate.
