In South Africa, 21Mbps is already "old", the supposed "leading" networks provide 42Mbps, the operators who are trying to get more market share with lower prices are at 21Mbps.

However, in many cases, you will see devices claiming support for HSDPA or HSPA or HSPA+, but only supporting a specific speed (e.g. I have seen dongles claiming HSDPA that only support 3.6 Mbps, or claiming HSPA+ and supporting maximum of 7.2Mbps with supposed firmware update to later increase the max transfer rate).

Wikipedia lists HSPA+ as a 3.5G technology. LTE-Advanced and WiMax are the only 4G technologies they list.

But, really, how do you confuse HSPA+ with LTE?

IMHO, part of the problem is the Apple marketing machine, I mean, if they punted 'iPhone 3G' due to (finally, years late) having 3G support, they can only increase model numbers, and GSM-based standards are so new and foreign to most Americans, they must think that the 4 in iPhone4 *must* have been for '4G', after all Apple *must* be the leader, even in technologies that have been in development for 15+ years before becoming commonplace in the US!

In South Africa, the Advertising Standards Agency has ruled against operators who try and use "4G" in any marketing or advertising. For example, they ruled against Cell C (who IIRC was first to advertise 42Mbps, whereas Vodacom had a higher percentage of 42Mbps towers at the time, but weren't prepared to advertise until at least > 99% of their subscribers had 42Mbps coverage).

I really don't see much need for anything higher than 14Mbps on a handheld device at present, it's just going to bankrupt you (or kill your data bundle) sooner (until very recently, all mobile broadband products here have been capped, but there have been some 'data only' products with high caps - such as 10GB - launched recently ... one uncapped product has been annonced, but I haven't tried it.

It's bad enough with a data-only contract on 7.2Mbps, when you realise there is still some torrent running that ate up the remaining 30% of your 650MB quota :-(.

This has brought a BIG sigh of relief to me if it is true because it means i will get my 20 units monday next week.

You will be the envy of the whole community now you do realise this .

Quick question: how do I set up more than 1 email account? I set up gmail cause I needed the girls adress, but cant figure out how to add my hotmail in addition to the gmail.

Lindegaard allready has one?

Envy him :P .

Did he get from telenor? and you are joking asking how to set up mulitple emails on a device many want on here and cannot get.... oh boy you will get your *** kicked for sure of you carry on hahaha .

Rofl, Im sure n950 owners know this, also Lindegaard could know :P

Hes danish, so not sure where he got his

So, Abill, how much are you making from that batch?
Seems like a lot of work

IIRC he only got a loaner device from Nokia so you might be the first person on TMO that has got a retail device.

Go me?

Thats ****ing awesome.


*drumroll*

FIRST!


edit: it was supposed to be locked to Telenor but during unlocking there was a W character in the unlock sequence, which doesnt appear on the N9 when you want to unlock, so we tried just inserting my NetCom microsim into the device, and there you go: just works.

I remember something similiar about the N900, is it possible that you CANT lock a maemo device?

Use the accounts icon from the launcher to add additional "other" (i.e. normal) mail accounts.
