It is not capable of HSPA+ (neither is 800), only HSDPA CAT10.
This isn't the thread to be asking (see OP for focus of this thread), there are AT&T specific threads.

It's perfectly respectable as far as "3.5G" speeds go.
There's plenty of "augmented 3.5G" & "faux 4G" out there, that in RWT's isn't notably better.
LTE's unquestionably better, but it's only becoming truly efficient on phones arriving now/soon.

Well of course not GBPS, I'm just silly--1.5 mbps down. Thanks for the answers, advice and guidance. I'm just dreading true data plan prices but I think I'll have to succumb =/

Same for HSPA+, in fact in my experience it's less reliable at higher speeds than HSDPA, even though it does climb markedly higher.*
Some N9 users claim signal strength/stability is really poor, hasn't been my experience at all, WiFi has been pretty ordinary though.
Anyway, any further AT&T specific questions, just post in one of the threads here...
*but you're probably more likely to get higher stable speeds on avg. with it (so long as your carrier supports it well).

Wow! the poll results are surprising. the n900 which is a 2 or maybe 3 years old phone got around a 42 % while the new (beter characteristics) n9 got around 52 %.
It is amazing how loved is the n900.

Thanks all.
I haven't looked at this thread for a few weeks, but based on my experience and what you all have said I have decided to get a new n900.

- Aegis (fortunately there are some promising community efforts)
- lack of SD card slot (very useful e.g. when tinkering with different OSes)
- no built-in h/w keyboard
- not many hardware buttons
- no IR or FM transmitter
The seemingly rather small bump in CPU speed, the lack of hardware HD video decoding and only rudimentary use of NFC doesn't help much either.
If they had taken the N900's design, just used a higher res screen (e.g. like the one on the Galaxy Note: 1280x800, multi-touch AND pressure sensitive stylus) and bumped the CPU to dual core (Harmattan is a true multi-threading multi-tasking OS after all) with corresponding GPU I'm quite sure it would have received near 100% in this poll.

N9 does have FP10.1 now. It's available for Fennec (Firefox) at the Store, as is Fennec.
You're better-off using one of the newer builds of Fennec from Romxa's site though, they're a bit snappier.
Also you can select/copy text in the native browser now (mem might be failing me here don't have phone w/me atm).
On N9 you can default to desktop UA or whatever other UA you want to use w/Fennec + Phony (add-on).
It's also possible to replace grob (N9's native browser) with a grob that has a modified UA of your choice.
This isn't the thread to be asking (see OP for focus of this thread), there are AT&T specific threads.
In real world terms, no HSPA+ is more minor than it seems, there's been in-depth discussions why.
One I vaguely recall, was in the the "N9: it's finally here" thread.
