Oh, the benefits of stepping outside.

Forgive me, I'm still a bit excited about getting my new phone. I came home expecting to never see 4G and just flipped on the antenna just for kicks and BAM, 4G was found. If I'm anywhere near a wall I get signal and the speed increase is definitely worth it especially since the 3G towers here get really bogged down during prime time. Picture time.

That is a nice increase. Too bad the WiMax isn't better at building penetration. I always hook my phone to the Wi-Fi when I am home anyway though.

[Contreramanjaro]

That's true. However in my apartment complex, at the furthest point from our router 4G is sometimes more reliable. It's a G router with about 12 competing routers. I guess it's just awesome having so many options for connectivity.

[pyroscott]

Definitely is nice. I just moved my router so I could get better connectivity. The laptop pulls it up just fine but the phone doesn't have the range of the laptop.

I see, I have the Evo Design 4G which is rather new for a WiMax device so I assume it has some of the best antennas available. Also, all the extra stuff to make it a "world phone."

Well, phones in general don't have the same power Wi-Fi chip.

Ah, I see. I don't know that much about smartphones and their usage yet. I'm pretty tech savvy you might say, I understand the chipsets and CPUs and such from a technical side but lack entirely real world experience in the area. Brb, I'll show you my old phone... you'll understand.

That's right! It's Sprints iPhone killer from 2008! With full 3G support, GPS, and a Pandora subscription, this phone has it all! Need pictures? No problem, just hit that dedicated faux chrome camera button and bring that 2MP camera to life! It also features a full HTML web browser and supports some javascript. Buy it now with an Everything Unlimited Plan!

I wish my new phone was half the phone of the Instinct, lol.

Edit: Success! No longer "smoke signals," now I can sleep.

LOL, my wife had one of those. 3 phones ago... Not a bad phone for its time but not the iPhone killer it was billed to be.
