RANT!!! AT&T

[Raptor]

Old windows phones were slow and froze. Why do you want a Windows phone over a Droid?

[Hoarach]

I have an android now (HTC Aria), I just wanted to try the new windows mobile before I made my decision.  The new windows 7 phones look pretty impressive.

When does their exclusive deal with the IPhone run out?

Early 2011 supposedly. Verizon gets the iphone 5 soon, Sprint later on, AT&T is about to take a HUGE downfall.

[Masherbrum]

Jan. or Feb. of 2011 is when Verizon will be able to sell the iPhone.

No one actually knows when the contract is up between Apple and AT&T.  We know how long it was for, but not when it was signed.  There's also been no official announcements regarding Verizon and the iPhone.  I wouldn't be suprised if they never pick it up.  Android phones are just about equal with new phone activations already, and the next gen of android phones doesn't come out for the next few months.

AT&T works while on the Guadalupe river. I'll be switching to it in the near future.

T-Mobile will be losong a customer. Sprint sucks and will be losing a cusromer also. My wife has sprint.

Just so you know...... there is no phone company with a 4G network in the US.

[Reschke]

Was just told by a buddy who is an a Southeastern Regional Manager for Verizon that just launched 4G in Atlanta and Nashville but they will not have the iPhone4 before next summer and the "iPhone5" is not scheduled or even on the books to anyone other than AT&T due to an exclusivity contract that Apple has with them and no one knows if or when that will expire since it is all about money.

BTW my next phone regardless of carrier will be an Android based phone.

4G locations are sparse, but do exist.   Mostly going through the latter testing phase of Sprint.   My neighbor used to work for Nextel/Sprint.   He now is in Houston working for Verizon.

Idk about any other carrier but AT&T smartphones have access to HSPDA network speeds.

Yes that is true but only IF the network they are on can accomodate those same levels...meaning Japan, Korea, Taiwan...no one else that I know of has that network setup yet.

There are no actual 4G networks period. No network currently operating or planned has anything near 4G speeds.

The reference to 4G is in name only.


I have seen articles on Fox and CNN. Here is one on cnet that poped up with a quick Google.
