According to a Tuesday report, the division argued independent tests performed by Nielsen Co. showed Verizon in fact suffers from fewer blocked or dropped calls... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/24/verizon.argues.sprints.best.network.claims/ Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/24/telus.wins.advertising.lawsuit.against.rogers/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/telusin.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A judge in the Canadian province of British Columbia has ruled in favor of Telus in a recent lawsuit filed against Rogers for inaccurate ad claims that said Rogers has Canada's most reliable wireless network.

Already on display for a few days, the phone is one of the first more quality-focused camera phones and has a variable aperture and high shutter speed that often aren't included on phones.

After entering an area with no carrier service, or simply at random, an iPhone may launch into a "searching for service" mode from which it does not return, even when back in a known coverage area. The only way of temporarily fixing the problem is said to be reb... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/24/may.be.connected.to.firmware/ Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/19/telus.sues.rogers.over.alleged.false.ads/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/telusin.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Canadian wireless provider Telus is suing competitor Rogers over ads that say Telus' wireless voice and data network is less reliable than its own. Such claims can no longer be made, Telus argues, as it recently launched a 21Mbps HSPA+ network that is on par with Rogers' in terms of speeds. Telus claims requests made to Rogers to stop airing these inaccurate ads were ignored, resulting in the laws... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/19/telus.sues.rogers.over.alleged.false.ads/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/12/possible.verizon.iphone.candidates/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/qualcommchip-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Qualcomm today updated its MDM family of cellular chipsets with some of the first anywhere to support dual, advanced 3G and 4G formats. The MSM7630 supports GSM, HSPA and HSPA+ standards but will also work on CDMA phone networks and support up to EVDO Revision B for 3G on those services.

With peak speeds of about 21Mbps, it's theoretically three times faster than the best anyone has to offer on a national level.

Two separate sources of BGR's say the two iPhone partners are considering replacing the existing 8GB iPhone 3G with a 3GS variant, preserving the same capacity and $99 price. The move would undercut Verizon by offering the latest iPhone at the same price as the less ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/05/iphone.3gs.8gb.may.combat.moto.droid/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:35:00 GMT
