| Re: No Coverage.... Cingular sure does like to make lots of claims. Visiting their website, the biggest thing I see is "Fewest dropped calls of any network". No asterisk or anything. I'm willing to bet Centennial's tiny network has less dropped calls, along with the other carriers that have been proven to have fewer dropped calls. Watching the video on the frontpage, it's also the most "advanced and secure" network, too. They haven't even got it in Lansing here, yet. Just the Detroit metro area (which is more than I can say when I had the service). AT&T fails at wireless data. Sprint wins. Verizon sits back and says they could win, but won't run the whole race. -- Sprint Mobile Broadband PX-500 | Windows XP MCE SP2 | Mobile AMD Athlon 64 4000+ | 1.5GB RAM | ATI Mobile Radeon X600 128MB | 120GB HDD | |

| Yay! So does that mean I can expect 300ms latency in less cities than I can expect crappy bonded-pair U-Verse?
People keep touting the greatness of HSDPA vs. EVDO but out of the thousands of colleagues I passed HSDPA Blackberry's to vs the EVDO ones, guess which ones were the slowest? Guess which one dropped calls, guess which ones generated the most support calls? It wasn't the EVDO folks.

| Re: Not in my backyard said by ninjatutle :is the reason for the gaps in service. People fight tooth and nail to not have new towers, upgrading towers, etc. I see towers everywhere. We are the #1 cell phone state and HSPDA is such a joke here. When you call 1-800-Help-Me-Cingular ... you get a call center located in Greensboro.
BTW, the average rep you're talking to makes $50k a year. So lol, Midwest ... they probably make more than you. The rest of you folks on this site who think you're so smart ... keep that in mind. -- Use the OS tool for the job. | |

| Cingular I like Cingular's HSDPA service just fine. No major problems nor dropped calls - which is certainly area dependent.
I'd say something to derail EVDO's popularity, but I just don't have the stomach amongst the fanboy crowd, here.

Nope, not Verizon. It's Cingular - tethered to an 8525. | |
