iPhone 3G reception woes unfixable? Maybe, maybe not {Engadget}
Aug 14th 2008 7:18PM No one seems to realize that 3G in most areas only runs on AT&T's 1900mhz spectrum, not on the 850mhz. There are very few markets where 3G operates on both 850 and 1900...
Whereas EDGE runs on both bands in almost every major AT&T market. There are some cities which are only 1900 or only 850 but this is becoming very few and far between as the AT&T and Cingular merger pretty much gave AT&T a ton of spectrum on both bands. In fact a few years ago, after Cingular merged with AT&T Wireless, in Texas and Florida AT&T owns BOTH the A and B 850mhz blocks in a lot of the cities, in addition to all their 1900mhz spectrum, but I don't know for how much longer.
People should do their research as to the real reason there is a coverage disparity in their area. I know that in the particular area of Austin I live in, 3G service sucks on my iPhone 3G, Samsung A717, and LG CU500, and dropped calls are awful and just as bad on the other phones as on the iPhone.
