A little science experiment for anyone with an unlocked phone and both ATT and T-Mo sims to play with. There is *something* with the way that ATT towers talk to the phones (or vise versa) that causes a regular sh1t storm of EM interference. It will set off anything speakerish near by in to a fit of buzzing an popping every so often. Pop out the ATT sim, drop in the T-Mo, wait, nothing. It was an unlocked GSM Treo that I first noticed this with, but I've had Nokia's behave the same.

I even once had an incident where the wife was having a party, I was called in as the speakers on the keyboard (i.e. the musical kind) were popping and I should fix it. I stated that one of the people in the room had an ATT cell on her and sure enough, one was produced. (So yes, this knowledge can be fun at parties!)

I have not played with a Jailbroke iPhone, but my guess is that people with an iPhone and a T-Mo sim have never had an issue with this.

Anyone care to confirm this and post for the rest of us?
I would second that.

From the comments:

"and I'm really not sure how exactly Ive ported it, but I'll try to make a tutorial or/and an explanation as soon as i get a conformation from "Google"."

Yup, yah. Woops, I ported Android, how the hell did that happen?
Ha! Went to buy a 770 Friday at CompUSA and they could only sell me a N800. No info on Nokia's site. The Application Manager defaults the distro rev to Bora, which is cool, but a few major things I've pulled down are not working to snuff yet. (MPlayer, etc) Still longing for a PIM suite. Guess I'll have to write my own. Nice little surprise on the 2 SD slots (manual says they both handle up to 2GB, shweet)

Waiting for Noika to launch the damn thing so I can try the video conferencing!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
