If all the devices are poor 3G performers across the board regardless of network, that is one thing. If the issues are only isolated to certain cities, that could mean another.

It's also possible that the 3G radios are a bit more sensitive than other phones of similar caliber and without a robust ATT 3G network they'll perform sub par, but I'm leaning more towards a poorly constructed wireless network courtesy of MaBell.

On my N95-3, I waited for a software upgrade that never came. They have only given out about 2 upgrades for the handset. While the N95-4 has received several since. When I called Nokia and told them my problem. Guess what they advised as a solution? Upgrade to a N95-4. I spent over $600 on the device in question and this is the response. It wasn't even a year old. Oh and I wouldn't mess with the 5800 now. In case they decide to scrap it like they've done others in the past. The N78 for example. I love Nokia products and, I realize that any device can be buggy but, they have 'THE WORST' customer service. Non at all!

Somewhat of a fanboy but, I actually keep it real. At&t is the closest thing to an open network that we have.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 4:07PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/02/the-plot-thickens-nokia-investigating-5800-nam-issues-says-pro/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/02/the-plot-thickens-nokia-investigating-5800-nam-issues-says-pro/So did my HTC touch HD, which however started to receive 3g data again in Manhattan when the automated roaming choose a different carrier from AT&T (Verizon), My work's phone , a Samsung Omnia, had no problem with any american carrier.
I hink that if a phone works perfectly all over the world and has some troubles only in a specific country, whith a specific carrier and in a couple of particoular cities, maybe the issue should be looked for in that carrier network instead that in the device itself.
Or what?]]>Mar 2nd 2009 7:55PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/02/the-plot-thickens-nokia-investigating-5800-nam-issues-says-pro/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/02/the-plot-thickens-nokia-investigating-5800-nam-issues-says-pro/
So, I'm thinking the issue is with the 1900 band and the corresponding radio. Poor Nokia, they really should have tested this prior to shipping. ]]>Mar 2nd 2009 2:31PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/02/the-plot-thickens-nokia-investigating-5800-nam-issues-says-pro/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/02/the-plot-thickens-nokia-investigating-5800-nam-issues-says-pro/Mar 2nd 2009 2:32PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/02/the-plot-thickens-nokia-investigating-5800-nam-issues-says-pro/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/02/the-plot-thickens-nokia-investigating-5800-nam-issues-says-pro/Mar 2nd 2009 7:14PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/02/the-plot-thickens-nokia-investigating-5800-nam-issues-says-pro/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/02/the-plot-thickens-nokia-investigating-5800-nam-issues-says-pro/
