I sat in a restaurant for lunch where I could see the top the the upgraded tower sticking up over the shopping center, and still couldn't get a 4G signal, even for an instant. These towers in Norcross must not truly be active with LTE. In Lilburn, I am able to pick up LTE for a brief instant, but, I guess, it's the same issue as everyone else where the 3G signal is, technically, stronger, even though not faster. Perhps I'm way off base, but it seems like this is something that should have been able to be tested before rollout. Maybe not, though, and the real world is the only way they could have known that only in the pockets of bad 3G coverage would LTE work. However, I've been hearing that the Atlanta market is suffering from this issue more than others. If that's true, I'm really curious as to why?

Still nothing in Norcoss, with three towers supposedly live, all within a mile of me. Since the towers in Lawrenceville were all so much further away, I'm just not understanding not getting LTE here.

I am also glad to know it's not just me. I had really strong WiMax 4G, and have missed it very much, as my 3G is abysmal, here. I was so hoping for LTE, today, but it's bound to get better. I am surprised, with all the live towers showing right around me, here at work, that I'm not getting LTE here, but I was able to pick it up in Lawrenceville from much further away from the upgraded towers the map shows. Perhaps these are not actually online, yet. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it gets here soon!

I work in Norcross, with the map showing three towers much closer to me than the towers out in Lawrenceville. No LTE at all, here, though.

10MB up and down, here in Lawrenceville. Amazing! Lovin' it.

Well said! I certainly agree. Being careful to not do the things that can and will get you shut down and/or sued is smart and appreciated by those of us that want this site to be around for a long time to come.

The original iPAQ Pocket PC I bought in summer of 2000 (the H3600) was not a phone, but, to me, was the first useable, color screen, decent resolution, decent app availability device. I carried it and its successors for many, many years and even stayed with Windows Mobile when I came to Sprint to get my HTC Touch. While Pocket PC/Windows Mobile suffered greatly in comparison to iOS, they were all there was for a long, long time. Apple not only marketed well, they made a closed ecosystem that was also user-friendly. Their control of iOS is what made it easy for users to pick up because the apps all had to have a look and feel that was approved by Apple. Of course, it's all what you're used to. While I see iOS as easy to pick up and use, there are a lot fo things that frustrate me with the interface, since I'm used to the Android way of doing things.
