Mobile Broadband you can Trust

Does it ever seem that you cannot find a Mobile Broadband provider that you can actually trust? Just recently, it was said that findings suggested that poor 3G coverage by Nexus One was a cause for many complaints. There are those who are saying that T-Mobile, one of the biggest mobile phone companies, has the smallest 3G footprint, in the entire four U.S. Nationals! If these companies can draw headlines like this, then what are you going to do about your mobile broadband? Do you trust one of these Goliaths, or do you go with the little guy?

Well, it may not be as bad as you think. You need to find someone you can trust, though, to give you the real information on who is providing good mobile broadband coverage and who is not. Information is power, and since we are living in the new information age, why not start by getting the best broadband service that you can get? It is senseless to waste money on dead spots.  After all, would you buy a car if it would only run “in select areas”? That is completely absurd. For how much you pay for most mobile broadband, they should be able to give you the coverage you need.  I could understand dead spots if you were paying next to nothing for mobile broadband – but this is rarely, if ever, the case.

But when it comes to mobile broadband, you are not left to your own devices. There are Websites out there that can help you choose the mobile broadband that is best for you, and they are the Websites that should get your attention.

Can the Nexus One compete with the iPhone?

We all know that the Nexus One has finally arrived. We also know that this is the first Google branded smart phone in history, and the tension has been thick as the world awaits this piece of technological cake from a company that has been building a presence in the mobile phone industry with its open-sourced platform, Google Android.

But the real question is not whether the Nexus One will be successful, but whether it will actually compete with the iPhone? Well, there are a lot of things to consider, but here is what we know. First of all, we know that the iPhone comes from a company who knows mobile phones very well. Apple knows exactly what it is doing, and they have been putting out high-quality handsets now for years. Second, Google is up and coming in the field, not having the experience that Apple has.

But, Google has one thing working for it that could turn the tide… and that is Android. Android has been so successful that it has threatened the very life of Windows Mobile, and it has been a rising insect to iPhone ever since it has come to life. But can Google actually compete with one of the most popular Mobile devices on the market with the Nexus One? It is true that the world is waiting to see, but when it really comes down to it, what would motivate buyers to choose the Nexus One over the iPhone? (more…)

The Nexus One – Google now has a smart phone of its own!

With Apple, it might seem sometimes like they cannot be beat. After all, they have given us some of the best smart phones on the market, right? How can someone compete with what we have gotten from the iPhone?

Well, Google has finally spoken, and it is in the form of a new super-phone that will be called the Nexus One. It is the first super-phone to be released by Google, and as such, it will of course be running the latest version of Android as an operating platform. The handset was premiered recently at a press-only event in California, and it went over very well. One of the new great things about the Nexus One is that it is completely voice activated. So, your text messages can be spoken into existence, as well as your emails. Anywhere that you would input text can now be spoken into existence.

The Google vice president of Android management said that “The Nexus One is where web meets phone”, and by all accounts, he is right. With the ability to pull live feeds and widgets from applications like Facebook, it seems that the Android platform has finally arrived in a form that can compete with the major players. T-Mobile will carry the contract for the phone, which will retail for about $180 with a 2 year agreement. The phone will also be available on Vodaphone and Verizon networks by spring.

It is interesting to note that, by releasing it’s own handset, Google is directly competing with phones like the Droid, which are also carrying the Android platform. This could be a tricky balance… but it is one that Google has obviously thought out. After all, most things that Google touches turn out golden, right?
