Re: 3G has to be deployed first...
said by en102  :Texas has all of its major cities covered . Wrong there. El Paso has over 800k people, I'd consider it a major city...
however, no 3G.

AZ has it solid from Phoenix to Tucson...
Texas has all of its major cities covered
Florida has a lot of coverage.
L.A. is one of those cities that Cingular/AT&T just doesn't really care to compete in. |

Yeah it's a real mess in LA. Seems like I get 3G access along several freeways, but whenever I reach a destination I'm back to good ole Edge.
Hey Cingy, I don't need access when I'm moving! I need it at my destination!
I drove to a friend's in Chandler, AZ (suburb of Phoenix). They've got Cingular 3G over there that really works like it's supposed to. Had a solid 3G signal all the way from Phoenix area to the suburb, and was able to use it at their place. It's very very nice.

2 edits | at&t has so little 3G deployed, its pathetic.
Most of Los Angeles (2nd largest market) has either little or no 3G service available from at&t/Cingular, not to mention Denver, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, etc.
This is as bad as their lightspeed deployment.
I live in 5 miles from Los Angeles city limits and we 'might' see 3G service by 2008

AT&T executives said separately yesterday that the carrier expects to add another 58 to 65 HSDPA markets by the end of the year.
And for the bad news... mobile spammarketing

Meanwhile, the company will also run a trial of mobile advertising in the second quarter to test some types of mobile ads and study their impact on the customer experience.
