AT&T demos speedy LTE, calls 28.8Mbps downloads realistic for real people

jedwan — Fri, 20 May 2011 01:23:23 +0000

GigaOM got to peek inside inside AT&T’s Foundry innovation center in Texas this week, and the tour came with a special treat — a first glimpse at how AT&T’s upcoming LTE network might perform when the carrier flips the switch later this year. Where Verizon’s existing network promises download speeds of between 5 and 12 megabits per second (though we’ve gotten far better and worse in practice), the publication witnessed a connection with 28.87Mbps download and 10.4Mbps upload speeds, using a MIMO antenna passing bits through both 700MHz and AWS frequencies. “But,” you protest, “isn’t LTE capable of more?” Sure, but an AT&T executive told the publication that these were meant to be real-world numbers. Still, considering all the factors and where the test was held, it’s probably best to break out the table salt for now.

As Golf Channel’s Rex Hoggard explains, the Tour is still attempting to attract new fans that may have been turned off by the cell phone ban in years past. However, a mere four Tour events into the “experiment”, the new cell phone …

Motorola’s CES 2011 booth tour

jedwan — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 17:49:43 +0000

To say Motorola’s had a stellar show would be a massive understatement. Betwixt the Motorola Atrix 4G, the Xoom, Droid Bionic and to a lesser extent the CLIQ 2, they’ve been reborn and are the star of the show. Of course, in order to peddle your wares at CES you need a booth — the more garish the better, is the usual fare — and Moto’s is massive and bedecked and badazzled in light with more flair than you’d need to work in a place like Chotchke’s. So, we wandered about, took in the sights, the sounds, and grabbed some pics and a short vid of what we saw.

Verizon’s BlackBerry Tour getting push-to-talk capability tomorrow

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 23:27:03 +0000

When you think push-to-talk in the US, Sprint’s Direct Connect service is still the very first thing that comes to mind — but Verizon and AT&T both continue to soldier on with their own significantly less popular solutions to meet the needs of niche markets that might otherwise bail for iDEN. Big Red’s stable is getting a little bigger this week on news that the BlackBerry Tour 9630 will magically be made PTT-compliant through the availability of a new app tomorrow that’ll work with Verizon’s existing PTT plans. As soon as the app’s installed, the Tour’s so-called convenience button on the side will be instantly transferred into a PTT button, at which point you’ll be chirping it up with the best of ‘em — and even better, the service will be free for anyone activating both a “qualifying” voice plan and BlackBerry data plan, so odds are good you won’t actually pay a dime for the new functionality.

Separately, we’re hearing that Verizon’s Tour will be upgraded to BlackBerry OS 5.0 this evening, and push-to-talk is prominently listed as one of the new features added in the upgrade according to a GizmoFusion leak — so odds are very good these two pieces of news are related. In other words, even if you’re not interested in PTT capability in the slightest, you should stand to benefit a bit from it as the spoils of 5.0 filter down to you; now let’s just add in a WebKit-based browser and we’ll be good to go, right?

BlackBerry Tour2-compatible visual VM on Verizon suggests release is growing near

jedwan — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:42:00 +0000

It feels like the Tour isn’t quite aged enough to be replaced — especially when you consider that the downright ancient Pearl 8100 series is still sold on carriers around the world — but it seems that Verizon (and Sprint, naturally) might be champing at the bit to move on to a newer model with WiFi and a complete eradication of the pesky trackball. Verizon’s posted a Java app to its site with the file name “vvmail_9650.jad,” a reference to the Tour2′s model number. Of course, the Tour2 itself has yet to be announced by RIM in any capacity — let alone for a specific carrier — so we’ve got some hurdles to jump before this is on shelves, but if nothing else, we can safely say it’s coming to Big Red sooner or later.

RIM briefly confesses that BlackBerry Tour 9650 is on the way

admin — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 02:26:00 +0000

We’ve got no shortage of evidence that there’s an updated version of the Tour on the way, but we’re dealing with pretty ironclad proof now that RIM itself has made mention of the so-called 9650 — albeit briefly. A message posted on RIM’s official Facebook account read “The BlackBerry Tour 9650 is coming! Check back for official news!” only to get pulled mere hours later, but the damage has been done — it’s definitely on the way, not to say we’d really doubted it before anyhow. Major features over the original Tour should be an optical pad (in place of that old-school trackball) and the addition of WiFi, making it very likely a solid upgrade for owners of nearly any CDMA BlackBerry. Alright, Storm2 owners, we’ll cut you some slack — but the rest of you, seriously, stay tuned.
