nexus one

I love when one company tries to block another from competing. it makes for a rather fun set of fights. looks like Google has taken another shot at AT&T and why not? does anyone really like AT&T  from the looks of the report that most people hate their jobs.  I’m not even sure that AT&Ts own employees are going to defend them.  so what am I getting at? Well  I am currently tangled up  like many consumers in a 2 year contract with the Beast that is AT&T. I’ve really got no complaints at the moment I don’t have an iPhone and the model of Blackberry was not a full 3G it used the slower EDGE technology.  I never experienced the problems of iPhone users are having unless – and here is where the fun begins…  I try and call my friends who have iPhones.  To have a conversation with one of my friends in the NY area it’s likely we will have to reconnect 4-5 times in a 15 minute conversation. Gee thanks, but I actually paid the early termination fee to get away from Sprint and this kind of problems  many years ago- I really wanted that new RAZR that had just come out and was all the Rage.  but that’s not what I actually intended to talk about.

Does Google Hold Grudges?

Why am I not able to get the new Nexus One phone which will work on AT&T for  3G data.  googles own site mentions that it does not use the same frequencies for 3G data transmission.  hmmmm. I’m not a cellular engineer , don’t want to be one but it seems funny to me that I can’t get myself a Google Android Nexus One and use it to its full potential on AT&T.  Is this a grudge against AT&T users ? Or could it be AT&T itself.  That hardly seems useful since they are a massive cell network and hmmm.  This is kinda neat actually- Google has always and will continue to be run by smart people I really can’t see this as being an oversight.  I can buy an unlocked Nexus One but I can only use it as a phone if I’m on AT&T  why then is is worth $530 ? I’m sure there are a lot of things I won’t be able to do if I can’t get data at 3G speeds.  This seems odd.  Not sure what just happened but I think we are witnessing a new way of doing things… Well not really,  it’s always been my opinion that  when large entities go to battle it’s the little guy who pays for it.  I just hope the folks who rush out to put this Nexus thing on AT&T are informed that it won’t do 3G Data

I wonder what does that map look like ?
