T-Mobile LTE!

Has been noticing LTE mark showing up on my new phone about a week or two ago when the bus passes Factoria in Bellevue, and as the spot was very limited, and obviously looks like there are some handover issues between networks – wasn’t able to connect smoothly and do the real test on how LTE works on phone in running buses.

Finally, had a chance to do the quick test at QFC factoria.. it is much faster than HSPA+… and my new phone gets it well so my fingers are crossed for quick expansion/stablization of LTE network

T-Mobile’s Seattle Speed Challenge: $1,000 says the Galaxy S™ 4G is faster than your iPhone®.

Nice approach… as one of the challenger game …starting this Friday, today, till end of Sunday….

Definitely worthwhile to try, but I am curious how many iPhone users will show up and do test to try to claim the money…. iPhone users don’t care about the speed, don’t care about the rateplan, and don’t care about anything other than the fact it is a iPhone!!!
(Anyhow, this test will do validate it)

Poor and somewhat sad analogy-if this hold true-, but hope this is not the case of insisting Wal-Mart is much better than Costco to loyal people shopping at Costco…

BTW, one funny extension is this news is showing up in Korean press as well but more twisted to how great Samsung’s Galaxy S device is… (No complaints because more Korean will recognize the company I work for, but thought this is a bit crossing over the line… )

2min Review: Sidekick 4G

Maybe I am getting a little bit older….. scratching my head to understand what the guys raps about..:(

Had a privilege to play with this device for 2 mins in last month. In short conclusion, don’t be fooled with name of “Sidekick” but this is practically the android with keyboard from Samsung…
