T-mobile 3G / Is there a difference between the 3G and the so-called Tmobile "4G" SIM cards?

« on: December 14, 2010, 08:58:52 am »

Anyone else experiencing 3G issues? On Dec. 14th, I had to call tech support, and one rep didn't see any issues, while another rep did. I was even spoon fed the line about my SIM card is old, and its not connecting to the 4G towers, and I need a new 4G SIM card.

My phone was fine, before I got home.

Nexus One / Nexus One and Gingerbread

« on: December 10, 2010, 02:10:41 pm »

I noticed that Gingerbread allows the phone to shut down like an old tube did. Is that native to Gingerbread, or something that the Nexus S brings to the table?

That would be cool to have on my Nexus One.

The Circus (lounge) / Black Friday shopping craziness

« on: November 27, 2010, 02:09:40 am »

Those lines for Target and Best buy were nuts. Lines forming five stories above the ground up, to the parking garage at Queens Mall, in Elmshurst, NY.

Anyone see or experience any craziness out there shopping?

I saw this on the news:

The Circus (lounge) / BET: "The Game" returning 1-11-11

« on: November 08, 2010, 12:57:26 am »

Last year the CW canceled "The Game" tv show. Their were rumors that "The Game" was going to return, but people didn't know which network would pick them back up. BET entered and started playing reruns, which started producing high ratings for them.

Then they announced they had signed a deal to bring back the show. The show will start airing January 11, 2011:

The Circus (lounge) / How come CDMA carried on, but TDMA didn't?

« on: October 27, 2010, 11:07:28 pm »

I remember years ago, maybe like 6 to 7 years ago, when AT&T Wireless, and Cingular, and several other carriers were around, pre-merger. AT&T Wireless had TDMA phones, which just like CDMA phones didn't require SIM cards.

What are/were the differences between CDMA and TDMA, compared to GSM/GPRS at the time?

The Circus (lounge) / Clearwire looking to auction off spectrum

« on: October 12, 2010, 10:42:00 pm »

Looks like DT is looking into this auction. But, the bad news is that the greedy warthogs, AT&T and Verizon might also be trying to be even more greedy, even though they have more than enough PCS, Cellular, 700MHz, and AWS spectrum under their belts.

We all know how AT&T and Verizon get down and dirty when fight each other for resources.
