On the second picture it shows a "3G" connection... Verizon phones usually show "EV" if there is a EVDO signal... Are they now going to start saying "3G" instead? Or did the graphic designer who did the photo overlook that detail? What will it show for a 1XRTT connection? "1X"? Back when I had the G1 it would show "E" for EDGE and "G" for GPRS
I tried to attach a demo video, but it is too large >300MB. :speechles Verizon will soon add it to their YouTube channel here: YouTube - VerizonWirelessTV's Channel
Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.80 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/4.2.14912/812; U; en) Presto/2.2.0) It will likely say 3g for real. Even the new evdo blackberries with OS 5.0 and higher are saying that too.....
My new Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 now says "3G" instead of "EV". While in slower speed areas the phone still says "1X". Here is a screen capture (from the screen of my HTC Touch Pro 2 speed test) that I posted in my review of the HTC Touch Pro 2:
The "Droid" is being released in Europe as the "Milestone"...GSM/UMTS version, of course :highclap: Coming next week to O2 in Germany: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/11/02/droid-headed-to-germany-as-motorola-milestone/ specs here: http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/X...es/Mobile-Phones/ci.Motorola-MILESTONE-XW.alt ...unfortunately, looks like 3G on 900 and 2100 only, so no US 3G compatibility ...why? You'd think Moto would recognize that people with smartphones like to also travel?
I'm getting one from my B2B rep. He says he likes it, but it's a bit laggy and too bulky for his taste. I'll just have to reserve judgement for myself when I get mine. I generally don't like huge phones and I'd rather have a full touchscreen as good as the 3Gs instead of a pull out keyboard. But that's just my preference. BTW: I have the 3G indicator on my Verizon Wireless Storm 1 thanks to a non official OS:
