I get a consistent 45-50 down and 8-10 up with mine. No service call required although comcast was confused at first. Took them about 20 minutes but works fine now.
I've been running this modem for the last month on comcast in San Francisco. 50/10 speeds for $99 shipped from Amazon. No problems at all activating it.
Amazingly the leather case cannot be removed (without ruining it). Apparently HTC could only get it through FCC testing by including the case as an integral component. Doesn't exactly help with a fairly oversized UMPC anway.
Toshiba sent the G900 through the fcc as well and it was only triband.
Anyone considering these should read the earlier G900 reviews first. The specs are great but the first G900s were unusable. My locked up every time it went to sleep. No ringer or anything until you reset it. Toshiba took weeks to issue a patch and I'd already returned mine by then. The 800x480 screen is great though. Surprised it hasn't reached more phones by now. Also amazed Toshiba doesn't go quadband/triband 3G but I guess they just aren't pursuing the US market.
That's all very nice but what it really needed was an upgraded WWAN. EDGE (on the US model) is awful on an iphone let alone a $3k laptop. Come on Sony where's my HSUPA?
Give me a US version and I'd buy it today but no US 3G and no 850mhz makes it a tough sell here. It definitely is NOT tri-band HSDPA. 2100mhz only.
no tri-band HSDPA for the G900. It's a triband GSM (900, 1900, 2100, no US 850mhz) and single band HSDPA (2100mhz so no US 3G). Great phone but not very useful in the US. Europeans should pick one up though! Older engadget article is wrong and the FCC tests confirm no triband HSDPA.
How do you get USB charging (5v) out of two AA batteries (3v - 2.4v)?
Definitely The Wire!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
