Still doesn't work on my old Nokia 6301
The thread title says it all. When I navigate to Opera Mini's download site, it says that there is not an Opera Mini for T-Mobile available for my handset. It suggests that I try the public build, but clicking on the public build brings back the same message that Opera Mini for T-Mobile is not available for my handset. It does say that they are adding handsets, so check back regularly.
Re: Could this relieve 2G congestion?
I understand that it only directly effects 3G devices, but that effect could indirectly impact the load on the 2G network. I've spoken with some whose 3G phones would frequently revert back to the 2G network when indoors. That would mean that there was a larger load on the 2G network. Now that 3G is on 850, those users of 3G phones should no longer experience their phones reverting to the 2G network when indoors. ...
Re: Could this relieve 2G congestion?
Thanks for sharing your observation. My father-in-law just picked up a $99 Iphone 3G last weekend, and it is getting a good 3G signal all over the place, including in his basement. He lives between Choctaw and Harrah, which is basically a hilly rural area. This is pretty impressive, imo.
Re: Could this relieve 2G congestion?
If you are right about the congestion, that would be too bad... T-Mobile's OKC buildout is really pretty good, so I'll probably just stick with using my e63 on T-Mobile for now. I hope T-Mobile does turn on 3G during Q4 '09, though I haven't seen any evidence of work on the towers in my area just yet.
Could this relieve 2G congestion?
I live in Oklahoma City, and AT&T's 2G network has had poor call quality for a couple of years. They have so many users here that peak dayparts really seem to overload the network. Could the improved 3G reception mean that 3G phone users will remain connected to the 3G network consistently and take a few of the users off of the overcrowded 2G network?
I made the move to T-Mobile a few years back because of AT&T's ...
Re: I'd Use This If...
If you are a heavy data user and Cricket is in your area, they may be a better option. You can get their modem for much less, and their "unlimited" cap is 5gb (if I recall correctly). I believe they cost $40/month, with no contract.
The catch is that you would need Cricket's network in your area. This would work for me, as I'm in one of their new AWS markets.
Re: Best Browser Ever
I tried it yesterday on a friend's phone. It's good enough to make me buy a compatible phone! I'm tired of T-Mobile crippling anyway...
Re: Looks like 6133
Agreed. I have a 6133 that works well enough. I don't see any real reason to upgrade to the 6263 just yet. Perhaps if the 3G network comes to my part of the country in the near future, it'll be worth the upgrade. I'm curious to know if Opera Mini will work with the 6263. (I expect that it won't without some sort of modding.)
Re: Microphone
I think it is hidden "under" the bottom row of keys. I came to this conclusion by blowing on various parts of the phone while listening through a different phone. The wind noise was most pronounced when blowing at the bottom row of buttons. It seems to work well enough when the phone is up close to my face, but sounds like I'm talking through a tunnel when I hold the phone away from my cheek.
