    Well I guess since RIM invented the smart phone 9 years ago and this is about their zillionth model, it isn't that big a deal. Reply

    Is AT&T to Blame for 3G's Performance in the iPhone? [view article]
    Absolutely it's the network. There will be a few random hardware failures, but the real issue is that on a lesser phone (not a mobile computer) you won't NOTICE the difference since (for example) there isn't even a credible browser. Reply

    Since no one has even made one comment on this article I assume that the Bold is a big yawn. Reply

    Will iPhones in Best Buy Stores Help AT&T? [view article]
    Back to school has run its course--in fact, it began in June.

    I think iPhone accessories will be high on shopping lists this Christmas, as consumers look for lower price-points to satisfy the gift giving crazes.     Reply

    I also support the 'overwhelmed' suggestion.

    Just read the disbelief from Engadget about iPhone usage:

    "And then we ran the numbers. We could hardly believe it. So far in 2008, the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPod touch account for some 95.8% of all mobile views on the full site."

    Game set and match I think. Better start investing in your network AT&T..!     Reply

    AT&T is totally to blame for HORRIBLE reception everywhere in Northern Orange County (Anaheim specifically) California. Their own stores try to sell you on this incredible 3G coverage which is an absolute LIE!!! Oh and by the way, my white 3G iPhone is NO BETTER than the original iPhone with regards to phone reception whether 3G is enabled or not. Yet their new service plan dings you for extra money because of this network. Yes, when I have 5 bars on 3G; the iPhone is incredible! But these instances are few and far between no matter if I'm in L.A. or Orange County. And as far as I can see, that new update yesterday has done nothing at all to increase reception. I'm constantly on the verge of calling Apple and getting my money back like I did for the first iPhone. But no other cell phone maker makes a phone even remotely as good as the iPhone. I really wish AT&T would finally get their act together. It's so amazing to me how Verizon's service is "by a landslide" better than AT&T's. At least here in Southern California. Reply

    I'd venture the AT&T network is overwhelmed. Reply

    Sprint-Clearwire Deal Expected to Close in Q4 [view article]
    If you've read my other posts you would also have seen I work for MetroPCS so get your stories straight before posting nonsense. I only made an observation actually backing up what you said...about AT&T only complaining because they have the same fight coming up about having too much spectrum. I actually can't stand AT&T either...but they're definitely (& quite obviously due to the sheer volume of customer defections from Sprint) better than Sprint. I'd also love to hear your opinions against my observations on market readiness of WiMax & LTE...post at will! Reply

    For what it is worth: I use a HTC 2125 phone on the AT&T network in the SF-bay area. I rarely ever get 3G reception, and when I do, it is usualy for a very short time (think minutes). Overseas the same phone gets 3G reception 100% of the time in urban area's, even inside buildings, with much faster data transfer. Makes me think the AT&T network is simply not capable of delivering 3G connectivity in even urban area's... Reply

    Many users of 3G phones who have been switching to the iPhone 3G have reported lower performance, there previous phones were working faster on the 3G network to get the same data. The same users are also having big problems with dropped calls where there previous 3G models had no issues. These problems are consistent with reports around the world. The sources for all this information is from tech blogs , particularly gizmodo.com .

    HAYWEED - "Apple would not rush out the product if it was not ready." What about the Newton? What about the current Mobile Me service that Apple has had to give back to back 60 day subscription extensions to?
    What about the first gen iPod Nanos that have been melting, catching on fire, or "exploding" that Apple just recently admitted to after an investigation by the Japanese ministry (this was a battery defect, but they hid/denied it till a formal investigation...)?     Reply

    It is certainly possible that it is a chip/software problem. When the phone has problems securing a 3G connection it switches to 2 G. This can happen under severe load at the cell tower. If the phone parameters are set conservatively it can switch quicker than necessary. Very hard to test this type of load condition Reply

    It must be the network and not the phone. Apple would not rush out the product if it was not ready. Jobs may run Apple but he does not concern himself with the day to day price of the stock. Just consider the conservative guidance every quarter and the stock drop from $200 to $115 earlier this year.

    You know the phone was tested and must have passed filed tests prior to the announcement. There is no way that they put a bad chip design in knowing that they would have to do a recall.

    Another issue may be that some of the chips from infineon could have a problem and those may need the upgrade. Considering the huge jump in internet traffic from the iphone, that many people are happy, I think the people that are having problems are in the minority. Mobile me had some issues but mine service was perfect.     Reply

    Field Signal Strength should be between 50 and 105 (roughly). Usually shown in negative numbers but select phones will show positive numbers...

    50 would ba a very strong signal and 105 a very weak one,     Reply

    I tried the # Ted Landry suggested and it works, I just don't know what it means. @ 1st I had a reading of 113 in my office which usually gets very poor reception on 3g, I leaned back in my chair and it dropped to a negative 87. If someone could explain what these #'s mean I would appreciate it. Reply
