I'm not seeing how this has anything to do with T-Mobile's services. T-Mobile will be using HSPA on 1700Mhz, while the other guys will be using EVDO on 1700Mhz. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this just isn't going to let you roam onto T-Mobile.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[packetsniffer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2008 3:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cricket launches first AWS CDMA handset]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's correct, T-Mobile and Cricket are deploying different technologies in the AWS space.<br><br>Chris]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Ziegler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2008 3:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cricket launches first AWS CDMA handset]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</guid><description><![CDATA[wait, where is cricket also availible?<br>I have it here in Buffalo, NY but where also?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GoodWill8675]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2008 3:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cricket launches first AWS CDMA handset]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</guid><description><![CDATA[So uhh what's the point of this having the 1700 frequency on it?

Verizon uses the same 850/1900MHz bands as AT&T. Only difference is the technology that each company is using! AT&T uses GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA on the 850/1900MHz bands, while Verizon uses CDMA/1xRTT/EvDO on the 850/1900MHz bands. If you haven't noticed also, Sprint and T-Mobile both own spectrum on the 1900MHz bands natively. T-Mobile added AWS 1700MHz licenses to their inventory list back in 2006. T-Mobile owns spectrum now on the AWS 1700MHz band and the GSM 1900MHz band, while Sprint(not including Nextels network) only owns 1900MHz spectrum.<br><br>So get your facts straight before you say why are they using AT&Ts bands. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2008 9:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cricket launches first AWS CDMA handset]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</guid><description><![CDATA[i can understand his confusion considering cdma is usually referred to as being on 800mhz. what i dont understand is why the phone has 1700 if it doesnt have edvo? so are we implying 1700 will be used for voice on cdma networks? i mostly expected carriers to go with 1700 for data. roaming into a 1700 voice area would suck for the 99% - 100% of customers who only have 800/1900 phones]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[youngcalihottie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2008 7:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cricket launches first AWS CDMA handset]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</guid><description><![CDATA[@narutouzumaki16<br><br><br>its not a 3g phone it just a cdma phone with 1700mhz cdma]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[speer360]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2008 8:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cricket launches first AWS CDMA handset]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/08/cricket-launches-first-aws-cdma-handset/</guid><description><![CDATA[If used properly Cricket Wireless can be a very valuable commodity in the wireless market.  I've heard tons of complaints revolving around them adding late fee's etc.  However, if you pay your bill on time they are a quality service.  In my service area (san diego) I would say they are just as good or better than Verizon.  The fact that Cricket is even using AWS before other carriers is a sign they are attempting to make some hedge in new markets.  They also started unlimited data EV-DO w/ PCMCIA cards for cheaper than other carriers.  Hopefully they keep it up and include these new technologies in their existing markets and they might have a chance to compete.  I blog about them and other off-brand carriers IE: MetroPCS,alltel @ <a href="http://www.cheapcellphonewireless.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.cheapcellphonewireless.com</a>  Just glad to see engadgeTMOBILE giving cricket some love.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ronnyh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 2nd 2008 1:02AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
