Comcast announces new bandwidth throttling scheme (update: old news) {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2009 4:12PM Does this mean an end to watching Netflix HD? That's the whole reason I switched to Comcast. What a bunch of crap!
Also, how can I monitor my usage? My home network has 3 computers plus 5 or 6 other wi-fi devices that use the connection. How would I know if I approach the 250 GB limit?
Also is that 250 GB limit up and down? (ie 200 down and 50 up = 250 limit)
T-Mobile 7.2Mbps HSPA rolling out now? {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2009 4:07PM xtole, I don't have a link for you... it's just one of those common knowledge (in the tech world) things. T-Mobile's 3G operates on 1700 MHz. That's a band that no other GSM operator uses for 3G, so most GSM phones, including the iPhone, don't operate at 1700 MHz. Currently, only phones designed for T-Mobile 3G will work.
T-Mobile 7.2Mbps HSPA rolling out now? {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 5th 2009 1:13PM T-Mobile just launched 3G here a few weeks ago. I played with a couple active 3G phones at the store: The Moto Cliq and the HTC Touch Pro 2. Both phones connected via 3G kept getting between 150 kbit/sec and 200 kbit/sec on DSLReports' mobile speed test. I have been getting similar speeds on T-Mobile's EDGE in the same market. What's the problem?
I have used DSLReports for years. Their mobile test is very simple, and seemingly accurate for down-link speeds.
HTC's HD2 has landed at Engadget (hands-on) {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 11:27AM I think the Engadget team placing their T-Mobile SIM in this phone caused T-Mobile's outage. The main NYC switch got shy and nervous talking to such a cool phone for the first time, and crashed.
AT&T sues Verizon over 'there's a map for that' ads {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 3rd 2009 5:49PM "Censor text messages they don't agree with." Really? That sounds ridiculous.
T-Mobile nabs HTC's Touch HD2, schedules release for November {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 2nd 2009 11:14AM I would like to add: Engadget writers should keep with the previously-stated policy that if T-Mobile is used in the title, it refers to T-Mobile US, and if it is a T-Mobile market outside the US, the title will say so.
JVC joins the sub-$200 Blu-ray player game with ultrathin XV-BP11 {Engadget}
Oct 28th 2009 11:12AM Yeah, but when will the discs start coming down in price? The cost of the players isn't keeping me out of BR, it's the stupid high cost of the movies. They're too expensive to overcome the small increase in quality over up-converted DVD.
NEC's Aterm WM3300R is like a souped-up WiMAX version of the MiFi {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 3:20PM Why not dual mode with WiMAX and EVDO uplink? Is there a device with both connections as an option? I was considering getting a Mi-Fi, but I know just when I re-up my Sprint contract on an EVDO Mi-Fi, they'll announce a WiMAX rollout date for my market.
Darn that ceaseless technological advancement.
inPulse Smartwatch for BlackBerry up for pre-order, ships in February 2010 {Engadget}
Oct 26th 2009 1:34PM Actually, it will. The watch won't connect on the headset profile, so the phone could still connect to a headset at the same time.

Oct 26th 2009 1:32PM So it won't let you be a douche and a nerd at the same time?
