Even though AT&T’s already committed both carrier and backhaul upgrades in an effort to buck the butt-of-the-joke trend it’s been experiencing for the last couple years, there’s some evidence that it’s a recent trend in the way phone radios operate — not a lack of overall capacity — that should shoulder at least some of [...]

There’s unfortunately not much in the way of details or pictures (beyond that artful illustration above) for this one, but HP has sent a smartbook called the Compaq AirLife 100 the FCC’s way, and the bands in use suggest that it could well be headed to AT&T. As you may recall, however, HP was also [...]

Reports are flying in — using WiFi, we suspect — that AT&T’s having a bit of a data and SMS outage in San Francisco. Our own personal experiences confirm the data, although text messages are sending and receiving just fine. According to a tweet found by TechCrunch, customer service is saying it’ll take anywhere from [...]

OK, so the bigwigs at AT&T and Verizon have learned to make nice (for the time being at least), but what’s a hapless iPhone user to do about dropped calls and other network problems? The AT&T Mark The Spot app offers long-suffering (or even the intermittently bedeviled) customers the ability to ping their carrier in [...]

We hate to point out the obvious, but it really seems that the marketing gurus at AT&T have this all wrong. Look guys — no one’s debating that AT&T’s 3G isn’t the fastest where available. We even saw as much ourselves. But Verizon’s recent slew of ads have been calling out the size of your [...]

That’s right, sailor, Qualcomm has been dishing some more info on the future of smartbooks, and we now know that the Lenovo number we noticed being teased earlier this month will be driven by a vanilla copy of Google’s Android OS. Other data of import includes a purported battery life of more than eight hours [...]

Man, the loot you can uncover when you go snooping around spec pages. That most ambitious of Sony Ericsson projects, the XPERIA X10, is still a long way from being released, but already we can narrow down the list of potential US carriers to just one: AT&T. The guys over at Phandroid were the first [...]

T-Mobile (along with a number of overseas carriers) have had RIM’s BlackBerry Bold 9700 for some time now, and while we knew that the handset was shipping to those who AT&T considers “special” and “irreplaceable,” the rest of the collective masses have simply had to sit on the sidelines and wait. Thankfully, that whole bout [...]

Slowly but surely, the Motorola Motus is coming into focus — sort of. Hot on the heels of that super blurry shot we saw yesterday, BGR has some specs for the mid-range Android set, which seem to indicate this one’s not much more than an AT&T-oriented variant of the Cliq: 850 / 1900 / 2100MHz [...]

Got an AT&T Premier account at your disposal? Does your nine to five require you to wear a suit on every day that ends in “y?” If you’re nodding your head and simultaneously thinking about just how tight that top button is around your neck, there’s a decent chance that you can get AT&T’s version [...]
