Sprint AIRAVE review {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 13th 2008 12:33PM This is a RTT1x femtocell. You still use EV-DO for data if you have it. In my house, I have 1 bar of EV-DO coverage and that's still enough to be substantially faster than 5 bars of RTT1x data.
My Airave works wonderfully (and I got it for free by complaining to the Sprint retention department) -- it's just confusing because most EV-DO phones only show the EV-DO signal level on the phone UI. It's not until you're in a call that I suddenly have 5 bars.
Hector Ruiz steps down as AMD CEO {Engadget}
Jul 18th 2008 12:11PM They CANNOT be bought out because all the patent cross-licensing agreements that they have with Intel have a poison pill in them: if AMD gets bought out, all the license agreements go away. End of processor manufacturing from both companies. Not going to happen.
Sprint's Airave signal booster in the wild, on sale nationwide this month? {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 1st 2008 11:08AM All the information on pricing out there in the past day is bunk. From Sprint's own website, an Airave base station with let *ANYONE* with a Sprint phone get on the base station. If you want unlimited calling, however, you must have the unlimited Airave plan which is $15 OR a Simply Everything plan.
If you don't believe me, read it here:

(Oh and notice that a ongoing call will not hop from Sprint's towers to a base station and vise-versa. So no one driving by your house is going to accidentally end up on your bandwidth.)
iPhone contacts search and meeting invite revealed {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 9th 2008 1:11PM And this is interesting why, exactly? Apple farts and it's a headline? Every mobile phone on the planet has contact search; but Apple does it and suddenly it's the best thing since sliced bread...

Feb 23rd 2008 11:42AM The SCH-R430 and SCH-R210A appear to be two more T-Mobile 3G phone, for the 3G network that doesn't exist yet. That makes 5 phones on sale with T-Mobile now that support T-Mobiles special flavor of 3G but have no network to connect to... yet.
