I really enjoy my AT&T service. I get good coverage and good data speeds. I'm sorry that there are people who aren't as fortunate, but they need to stop acting like they are representative of AT&T's entire user base. You only hear the complaints because people with great service don't need to say anything! Complainers just love to blow this all out of proportion.

You are highly mistaken. Being able to see your browser during a call is not the same as maintaining a data connection. It is a widely published fact that Verizon's implementation of EVDO Rev. A does NOT support simultaneous transmission of data and voice.

Your smartphone on Verizon can receive a call during a data transmission, but it disconnects your data connection as soon as you accept the call. It is either data or voice on Verizon, not both at the same time (unless you have a WiFi internet connection on one of the few Verizon phones that offer it).

Actually, you only have to lift your index finger if you want to engage the secondary click. Otherwise, it defaults to primary clicking, whether you've got one or two fingers on the mouse ( This applies to both the Mighty and Magic Mice).

Hear, hear! I've had nothing but good service and fast speeds on 3G with AT&T! I'm so sick of hearing people talk about how bad they think AT&T is and how they assume everyone is in the same boat. Well, we're not. The only reason you never hear about the satisfied experiences is because we have nothing to complain about.

I thought the big hullabaloo a while back about iPhone passcode protection was that the "Emergency Call" mode would allow a person to call any number they typed, even letting them "call China."

Has this been changed?

I think it's really rude and unnecessary to use a picture of Asians when discussing overshooting. The more you perpetuate these stereotypes, the more other people will think this type of preconceptions are acceptable.

I think it's going a little too far to generalize and say that Verizon has "significantly better coverage" in the country than AT&T. I've been on AT&T for many years and have yet to experience the poor network coverage that people on here rag about constantly, though clearly regional differences affect all carriers.

I also live in Atlanta, but I spend a great deal of time in the Research Triangle area in North Carolina. While I haven't seen any substantial difference with friends and colleagues who use Verizon in Atlanta, I have experienced many instances up in RTP where AT&T signal is the strongest and people around me (on Verizon and Sprint) have had calls disconnected.

I use AT&T because of their wide network coverage and openness of GSM phones, but I am no ardent supporter of one carrier versus another. It seems to me that some people simply like to trash talk AT&T (for reasons still unknown to me), though I have been in many places across the country and have not had them fail me yet; I've also seen a significant improvement in their network through my travels over the years. I don't know what people have against AT&T (or Verizon and any other carrier, for that matter), but some of these comments are just completely irrational and scream of fanboyism. Just choose the carrier that works for you!

Flashpoint:
You are a dolt. First of all, as others have said, there is no official language of the United States. Secondly, Spanish will never become a "2nd OFFICIAL LANGUAGE," so calm down. Do you really think the people in charge of our country would let that happen?

Last, but certainly not least, if we had the kind of testing that you think is such a great idea, we would turn away a great many number of people who are unfamiliar with our American ways yet have potentially substantial contributions to fields of mathematics and science. Plus, God save us from that exam ever being applied to Americans themselves. You'd deport half the country for not knowing where the USA was on a map of the world, let alone anyplace else.

This morning the transcript above quoted Nishida-san as saying there were 730k units worldwide, and now Engadget has changed it to 1.3 million. What is going on here?

Lord knows Engadget doesn't have high journalistic standards, but this is either a blatant lie by fudging the numbers or they severely mistranslated. I have a feeling it's not just a mistranslation, since I'm pretty sure there's a pretty big difference in the way 730k and 1.3m sound in Japanese...

No more LIES please...

(Go Blu!)

You do, too...

According to Nishida-san, president of Toshiba, it's 730,000 units worldwide. Engadget (conveniently?) forgot to mention that the 300,000 Xbox add-ons were specifically grouped under the 600,000 players in the US, according to Nishida-san.

US 600k + EU 100k + JP 30k = 730k worldwide
