Just as we expected, the low-to-mid range LG CF360 is now available on AT&T. The 3G-enabled phone is designed for those just entering in the world of 3G mobility, hence the camera isn’t as great, priding itself with just 1.3 megapixels. Other specs include 2-inch QVGA (240×320 pixels) screen, stereo Bluetooth (A2DP) support, GPS receiver,…
US wireless carriers dropping the ball on 3G data network performance
Add another strike to AT&T’s list of 3G-related complaints. A new study from Gartner attacks US wireless carriers for failing to make good on their promises of delivering “high-speed” wireless data through their respective 3G networks. The Big Four (AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile) all failed to meet their advertised mobile “broadband” speeds. The…
AT&T posts lackluster Q4 2008 financials despite iPhone 3G successes
The iPhone 3G has been a boon for the second-largest US wireless carrier. With over 4.3 million iPhone 3G activations since it’s launch, the iPhone 3G has brought in more than its fair share of subscribers and new revenue to AT&T coffers. Unfortunately, even the 1.9 million iPhone 3G activations that AT&T pushed through in…
Apple sued over misleading iPhone 3G data performance
Apple is being sued yet again by an irate iPhone 3G owner in Northern California. Disgruntled iPhone 3G user Jason Medway filed a 14-page suit that includes himself and all iPhone 3G owners in California as part of complaint. In the suit, Medway alleges that Apple has continued to push iPhone 3G sales with the…
AT&T Samsung Propel Pro en Route with Windows Mobile
The Samsung Propel which was launched on AT&T this fall is getting some company from a bigger brother, the Propel Pro, who will be packing Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard. Apparently it’s got an optical joystick which sucks right now, but if it’s still in testing, maybe they’ll be able to work out the kinks. No…
Nokia E71x for AT&T will run S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2?
By now we’re quite confident AT&T will add the Nokia’s popular E71 smartphone to its portfolio. However, we were surprised to see the screenshots above, nonetheless. They were taken by HowardForums member “bimmerd00d,” who purchased the E71x from Craigslist. Apparently, just like some other Nokia models like the N78 and N96, AT&T’s version of the…
AT&T 3G MicroCell – AT&T’s femtocell with 3G data coming soon!
This new year is fast becoming the break-out year for signal-boosting femtocell solutions. Both Sprint and Verizon are now fully on-board the femtocell bandwagon, and the newly demoted No. 2 US carrier has announced that it will be following suit in short order. AT&T has gone official with their AT&T 3G MicroCell offering on their…
Low-to-mid range LG CF360 coming to AT&T within days
A new LG slider is coming to AT&T within next few days (or so we heard so). It’s the slider-shaped CF360, which because of its low-to-mid range nature won’t impress many. There’s a 1.3 megapixel camera on board, Bluetooth, music player, GPS that enables AT&T Navigator, and of course a microSD memory card slot. In…
AT&T burying MEdiaNet branding, dropping data plan prices?
AT&T customers with wireless data plans are no doubt familiar with the No. 2 US carrier’s insistence on branding their data offerings as part of the MEdiaNet family of services. Why AT&T has stuck by their MEdiaNet branding for so long is beyond us, but it looks like Big Blue has finally seen the light.…
Obama’s Presidential Inauguration Ceremony wreaks havoc on wireless networks
If you thought AT&T’s network reliability was questionable on a daily basis, we hope you didn’t have to suffer the clogged-up cellular networks in the Washington D.C. this morning. AT&T and T-Mobile customers have been reporting spotty reception, significantly delayed text messages, and non-responsive data networks in the nation’s capital this morning as millions gathered…
