Ever bought or updated a phone at a Wal Mart? It'll take more than a month of waiting, once they have it in stock it'll take another month of waiting at the counter for them to figure out their system to sell the phone.

I suppose this is a "me too" for WRT54G and DD-WRT..

Haven't had to so much as think about the bugger for almost 10 months.

Still using my Rebel too.. Things keep coming up.. :( Car dies, fridge dies.... Hopefully won't be "camera dies" anytime soon!

And hopefully LTE doesn't suck battery like HSPA does. Over double the battery usage compared to EDGE!

Hello, the World Fanboiz called, they wanted their iPhone. GSM is a world standard, CDMA is not.

Yakownski,

Feel free to cash in your cluepon at the nearest high speed motorway.

The way I understand it is that you get better talk time, not sure about standby time, but data transfers eat battery a lot heavier than EDGE does (by a factor of about 100-115% by my estimates with my Kaiser).

I leave mine on EDGE 90% of the time because I like to have online email and IM, and with 3G enabled my battery life is less than 16 hours. It's 36 hours on EDGE. However, on EDGE the data connections get dropped during a voice call, so that and the obvious speed difference makes it difficult to decide to force the phone to EDGE or just to charge more often.

AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced that, in the next month, the company will deploy High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) technology in the six remaining markets across AT&T's entire 3G (third-generation) wireless broadband network. When done, AT&T will have completed its deployment of HSUPA technology, which complements existing HSDPA technology (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), making AT&T the only U.S. carrier to have fully deployed HSPA technology in its 3G network.

Today the superfast AT&T 3G network is available in more than 275 markets. By year-end, the AT&T 3G network will be available in nearly 350 markets.

So, by the above quote from RTFA, it says that if you have HSDPA now, you should have HSPA when the six remaining markets are closed. And looks like they're adding another 75 markets in the near future too. I need to tether my phone and see what speeds I get, even though I generally force my phone to EDGE because the battery usage on HSDPA is more than double that of when on EDGE. Ah well.

It's not a PDA, it's a Treo/Centro/Whatever.

Wowsers! It's the top secret Gadget phone. (Talks into hand) Is that you, Chief? You're where? Right away.

Go, go Gadget Bluetooth Pen!
