"“AT&T’s data throughput is 40 to 50 percent higher than the competition, including Verizon,” Mr. Carter said. AT&T is a client and Verizon is not, he added."

and

"This year, Root Wireless ran 4.7 million tests on smartphones for each of the four major carriers, spread across seven metropolitan areas: Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles/Orange County, New York, Seattle/Tacoma, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Washington. In every market, AT&T had faster average download speeds and had signal strength of 75 percent or better more frequently than did Verizon. (A Verizon spokesman declined to comment about these test results or those of Global Wireless Solutions.)

I asked Ron Dicklin, chief technology officer at Root Wireless, how these results, showing AT&T as the clear leader, could be reconciled with the negative appraisal of Consumer Reports’ respondents. He explained that his company’s tests of AT&T’s data network were done with handsets other than the iPhone, which does not allow non-Apple programs like his to run in the background.

AT&T’s besting of Verizon in these tests is all the more remarkable considering the sudden jump in the volume of mobile data that its network has had to handle with the introduction of the iPhone 3G in 2008: approximately 4,000 percent."

@Mr w00t I'm loving my N900. For the most part, this is the device I've been waiting for.

Just got my shipping confirmation from Amazon.

@Sycamore714

With Dell you will have to pay sales tax on the purchase, not so with Amazon.

The consistent Nokia negativity is very evident.

I've been using Gizmo5 with GV on my MyTouch 3G since the release of the phone.

Check out the thenokiablog.com. It works on the T-Mobile 3G network. There is a video posted showing a broadband speed test using the N900 on T-Mo 3G.

I really hope that's not the case. If Apple would be demonstrating utter disregard for their consumers/fanbase if they release another iPod Touch with a camera within the next six months after consumers have ponied up $400 to $500 for this iteration.

Yep. I just ordered it to replace my E71, which is going to be hard to part with.
