Early Morning
Posted by Matt in General Posts, Mobile, Rants on February 17, 2010
So I am thinking… As I sit here with access to my blog via Blackberry…..why not go off into blog land for a little bit? When is the last time I did that? January, it seems to be. What do you know about that?
Sun is coming up, sky looks a light blue with a few cloud strands here and there. Not that it really matters to you, but that’s what I see so you get to know it as well.
I am starting to recommend Sponsored Tweets more and more. Maybe after my next payout we will talk about how strong I like them. Probably need to get a referral link. Oh well.
Getting brighter outside, bunch of birds chirping. Few ducks making noises too. I am waiting for the Fountain to turn back on….Awww, there are no ducks on the fountain. If there was, I’d get another possible chance to see the Fountain hit the ducks. But they are smart, or they hear some sort of something below them kick on, because I have seen them jump off it within minutes of it turning on.
Well, I don’t guess the fountain is going to turn on while I’m writing this. Typing, rather — you get the point.
Bored with this…
A Better 3G Experience, AT&T vs Verizon
Posted by Matt in Mobile, Straight Up News on November 25, 2009
There's A Map For That
I have to get my hands on this story. It’s too much.
It all started with Verizon issuing AD’s displaying a rich vibrant red 3G coverage map, and AT&T’s “spotty” blue coverage map. Of course, why wouldn’t this make AT&T upset. Turning to legal matters would seem like a sure fire way of taking care of this. But there stands only one problem. AT&T is now suing Verizon for “mis-leading customers”, because as it turns out the 3G Coverage Map Verizon shows is accurate. AT&T has not taken the time to upgrade their 3G coverage.

Funniest thing is, the judges overruled the idea of Verizon pulling the ads. They are still running and probably will stay that way.

AT&T is trying to say that most people are not able to distinguish the difference of their 3G Coverage Map, and their actual Data map (which includes EDGE, GSM, etc). Granted most people may have difficulty understanding the real difference, we can still tell the best kind of coverage and how much of it there is throughout the states.

They are also starting their comeback commercials. Check boxes comparing the two differences (how original), with Luke Wilson (who again) comparing.
What I find completely humorous is AT&T has went to saying “The Best 3G Coverage” to “A Better 3G Experience“ Maybe Verizon should file a counter claim that AT&T is just straight up lieing. Once Verizon (if they ever do after this) gets the iPhone, I see AT&T retiring from the mobile wireless market and selling to Verizon. Especially now that Verizon is tied up with Google. (and that’s all I’m saying about that) Who knows what is going to happen next.

Ugggh!! At Delivery companies in general
Posted by Matt in Blackberry, General Posts, Mobile, Technology on July 27, 2009
Thursday I ordered the new Blackberry Tour (that came out July 12th for Verizon and is shipping out to Sprint — along with a few other CDMA service providers — soon after if not already released) and was told I would receive it in two business days.
Granted, it was the weekend and something just tells me that the FedEx delivery workers have a lot of packages to deliver then. But……
Saturday quickly rolled by with no phone. I’m a very patient person (now at least) so I didn’t lose my cool… However whenever I went and looked up my order status via tracking number… The package was scheduled for delivery on Tuesday by 7:00!
Excuse me to sound like that guy who complains at a delivery company but when you tell me two days prior to shipping — keep in mind that this order was placed early Thursday, thus the package was sent out that same day not long after — I expect to receive my package in two days.
Mobile post test
Just writing this quick little post to test out the wordpress app for my ipod touch.
Man- this thing is becoming more and more my personal mini computer rather than ipod.
Dammit Apple, quit making such amazing products.
Edit: (12/21/08 7:48 AM) Seems like the WordPress app worked flawlessly, as if I had any doubt that it wouldn’t. Well, time to go mail Christmas cards.
