WOW!!!
WOW! That's amazing!! 8O 8O :o :o :-)... :-)... I still think that TMO pushing their network to 42mbps is awesome but 168Mbps using commercial equipment is phenomenal! This just goes to show you that HSPA+ is a technology forced to be reckoned with. The one great thing that I really like about HSPA+ is the back-wards compatibility with 3G devices. No need to switch over to another frequency or anything, ...
Typical
I could say all kinds of hateful and funny things about VZW's recent outage :lol: but, I can't. I'm too understanding for something like that. I'm not a VZW customer, nor am I an employee, but I do understand that from time to time you are going to have some kind of service interruption now and then. Technology is amazing, awesome, and unbelieveable.....when it works. Nothing on this earth is perfect...nothing! Not one phone, network, car, computer, ...
Re: "... barely break 1 Mbps??"
It all depends on what VZW 3G area you are in. Remember VZW has 2 types of 3G, 1xRTT and EVDO-Rev A. If you are in the 1xRTT area you might see speeds up to 400k, maybe. If you are in the EVDO area you will probably see them up to 1-1.5mbps. Remember when VZW and ATT were having that map war about the largest 3G? Its because they are totally different network tyes and different 3G experiences. EDGE ...
Its coming to T-Mobile USA
OH YEA :-)...
Re: jeyeaaaaaa boiiiii, Deeeeeetroiiiiiiiiit
Hell's yea!! I visited Warren in recently and I was getting some sick speeds on the Vibrant.
Re: great- more faux G
Why not? Other companies have (Apple, Sprint).
Re: Rural Areas
Ever heard of Spring Hill, FL? Didnt think so. Tmo has thier 4G there. Its 50 miles north of Tampa, FL.
Re: T-Mobile Rebrands HSPA+ as '3.9', Says Its 3.9G Network Is the Nation's Largest
Looks like you know how to cut & paste & edit! LOL!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Re: Wow This is fail!!!
That's cool. Just wish there were more people on this site that would appreciate technology instead of bash it.
Re: Wow This is fail!!!
You know why? Most people have these services and they're afraid to hear the truth, because the truth hurts. Most people don't want to believe that. Jay, I have been on this site since 2005 and I have to say, you are probably the most realistic/knowlegeable poster on here. Everyone else just complains/slanders.
Re: Does that mean LTE is 5G?
Check out www.ITU.com They are the International Telecommunications Union. They pretty much set the standard across the board. If it doesn't have "-Advanced" next to it, then its not true 4th Generation Technology. If you search 4G, you will see the results. If you still don't understand, there is a "layman's" terms link for ya.
Re: Does that mean LTE is 5G?
The cool thing with HSPA+ and the type of tech they use is, its back-wards compatible. Which means, current 3G handsets can take advantage of the speeds without upgrading the handset or charging people $10 so they can use someone else's network. :D
Re: Tmo's network
Probably because they just say "What can you do with 4G?" And the average consumer thinks that its faster than other services.
Re: Does that mean LTE is 5G?
And you do realize that Clear has about 50% less coverage than Tmo does with HSPA+. I have the G2 and I have seen speeds up to 12mbps. The device tops out at 14.4. Next year they are going to up the speeds to 42mbps and then 84mbps after that.
Re: This is good news for Sprint
It would be if they operated at the 802.16m frequency and not the 802.16e that they currently are on.
Re: holy megabits batman!
Right. There is really no need for speed faster than what the phone can process. Now if its running a hotspot or something like that, then it would be suffice. The major carriers that are rolling out these broadband networks are looking more toward mobile Internet for laptops and home networks. Take Tmo for instance. They have the largest and fastest HSPA+ network in the US and it can reach theoretical speeds of 21mbps. According to recent information, they ...
Re: Bout time!
I hear ya. Do you know if their LTE network is going to be on a seperate band or not, like GSM 3G?
Re: Fugly
Don't judge a book by its cover. Its going to look even nicer in person. :-)... :-)...
Is Tmo still going to be faster?
From what I have been seeing around the US, Tmo currently covers 100 million people with its HSPA+ network which has a theoretical throughput of 21mbps (which is faster than what Vz is talking about). Then Tmo is going to rollout HSPA++ which will double the 21mbps to 42mbps! I still dont believe there is a need for 42mbps on any handheld consumer device, let alone a laptop. It seems to me that Tmo is leading the speed war! ...
I feel sorry for iOS users
Does that mean they have to wait in the same room that Mr. Jobs waits in?
Re: Bout time!
And Tmo :D
Re: Bout time!
That is correct but, its not just GSM though. Its the GSM 3G band that makes this possible. Tmo and Att have seperate voice and data bands. To this day, If you use GSM and are on EGDE or GPRS, you cannot use voice and data at the same time.
Re: New Excuses.
Lol, I'm pretty sure that they have backups on there.
Re: Let me see if I get this straight...
I heard that this phone was optimized for speed/graphics and this new processor was supposed to out perform the 1GHZ snapdragon. I get thier design. Have a phone that can suck up data at 14.4mbps? Better have a fast processor that can process that data!
Re: Let me see if I get this straight...
What area are you in that Tmo is lagging in the dark ages? I live in an Ok area and I have HSPA+ and I hit around 3-5mbps on average with my Galaxy, which maxes out at 7.2mbps I have tested it against an EVO using WiMax and I ran just a tad over the EVO. When the G2 comes out it will have a theoretical throughput of 14.4mbps! :o
Re: if only
There are pics out there on other sites. Just google G2 and you'll probably find something.
Re: 4G? Umm...not according to the ITU's definition of 4G speeds
I just think people are a little upset about it because they probably have to spend an extra $10 a month for it and Tmo doesnt charge anything for faster data. :wink:
Re: 4G? Umm...not according to the ITU's definition of 4G speeds
Currently 85 million people can get HSPA+ on Tmo. Thats small? They are supposed to have 100mil by the end of the year. Thats about 1/3 of the population of the US. So yea 8)
AllShare and HDMI out
The phone also has Samsungs "All Share" where you can pair DLNA equipped devices through WiFi. Really cool if you want to share pics and videos from your phone to your TV, computer, XBOX 360, ect, via Wifi. You can also buy a HDMI output cable from RadioShack for $25 if you want to hook it up to your TV. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Re: streaming to a t.v.
It does have HDMI out. It connects through the 3.5mm jack at the top. You can buy the cable at RadioShack for $25.
It all comes down to this.....
Your opinion!!!! :o :o :o Really? You mean there isn't a #1 device out there? Lol! Good review Phil and Rich, I liked it!
I feel it all comes down to opinion. You really have to look at the user and decide what the device is used for. If you like to personalize your device, mulit-task (for real), run widgets, ect., then maybe Android is for you. (If you are and Apple fan-boy, then maybe you should ...
Its really really really fast!
I'm in Tampa, FL and I'm hitting around 5-7mbps DL and 1.5-1.8mbps up on my MyTouch Slide. Its even faster when you tether with a computer! :-)... 8O :o 8)
T-Mobile, WIth the Nation's fastest 3G network
Now that T-Mobile has the nations fastest 3G network, is AT&T going to discontinue the "fastest 3G network" marketing campaign? I know they say they have the fastest 3G network in Tampa on the radio.
Awesome! More ways to bog down a network!
Isn't At&t trying to alleviate their network congestion?
Re: Keyboard BLOWS
Its going to be hard to top the 5-6 row G1 keyboard. I did like it better. I don't agree with it "BLOWING", but thats all based on opinion at that point. I will agree with Eric about getting the "o9" and the "P0" mixed up, it happens to me when I use the keyboard. But with 3 on-screen keyboards and the amazing "Dragon Dictation", you don't really have to use the keyboard that much. :D
Almost got all of the extras in there, Eric!
Couple of things that I noticed, or didn't notice in your review was, "Dragon Dictation", HTC Adobe Flash player, and pinch-to-zoom. "Dragon Dictation" is a voice recognition software that a lot of doctors use in the medical field.
I think everyone knows about Adobe's Flash software on web pages by now. I had the pleasure of using this phone for a couple of weeks now and the built in Flash player is AWESOME!!! I was also able to interact with ...
Re: Specs?
The phone has an ARM-11 600MHZ processor. Pretty fast. This is the fastest GSM Android phone I have had besides the Nexus One.
Re: Average Consumers Dont Care!!
I posted about how fast HSPA+ was. Do we really need anything faster then 21mbps on wireless devices?
Re: in 2 years??!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
When do thier 2Q results come out? How many subscribers do you think they'll lose this quarter? 1mill, 2mill?
Re: Better late then never-nu uh Early bird catches the worm
I have seen a 3G network beat WiMax in Philly. It was T-Mobile's HSPA+ network. It was at some event where Clearwire was promoting their WiMax and T-Mobile was promoting their HSPA+ netowrk. They ran head to head and not only did T-Mobile's network run faster but it was more consistant and never lost a conn. It was funny because after the Clearwire rep saw that, he left. lol :o
