America’s “most reliable network” apparently isn’t so reliable, as Verizon Wireless customers are experiencing their third outage this month, which is just one week after we saw another outage.

The folks over at Nanapho.jp, a foreign Windows Phone news publication, did some digging on a Nokia Lumia device to find Nokia’s diagnostics app, which is accessible via the terminal.

Now LTE coverage surrounding the major Canadian hubs of Toronto and Vancouver will get some expanded coverage. Around Toronto, Brampton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Markham will now get service, and out at the other end…
Some digging around the BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0 operating system (possibly with the help of root access) has revealed a few graphical elements that suggest where RIM’s headed next. A bunch of LTE coverage icons were found, indicating that the long-promised 4G PlayBook is still a real possibility. What’s even more interesting is that there’s a…
After Engadget pointed out that the AT&T 4G LTE network is partially live in San Francisco, I just had to give it a whirl. Well friends, I can tell you it’s definitely running and that it’s amazingly fast. As you can see by the headline image, the “4G LTE” logo in the top right is…
