What is the difference in internet speeds for the major wireless providers?
This report explains how AT&T sets a much lower standard than Verizon Wireless for the speed of the devices and service it labels as 4G. The vast majority of what AT&T calls its 4G network is far slower than what Verizon Wireless call 4G, which is actually 4G LTE – a different technology that is four times faster or more. AT&T can do this because there are no regulations or governing standards.
Take a look at the report and get a better understanding of what 2G, 3G, 4G and 4G LTE means. A new report from Grudi Associates provides facts and explanations about 3G, 4G and 4G LTE wireless services that help customers choose the right carrier and service, while avoiding advertising hype.

Carriers Band to Fight Cellphone Theft – WSJ.com
In New York there were more than 26,000 incidents of electronics theft in the first 10 months of 2011—81% involving mobile phones—according to an internal police-department document reported by the New York Daily News.
The report said electronics are now the most stolen type of property, surpassing cash. In Washington, D.C., cellphone-related robberies jumped 54% from 2007 to 2011 according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Yesterday I advised a client who just lost a iPhone 4S to call and report the phone stolen so it could be put on the lost stolen list and never work on Verizon Wireless again unless they take it off the list.

Nokia Lumia Windows Phone vs. iOS, Android: The business apps view | ZDNet
AT&T and Nokia are about to launch the Lumia 900, arguably the first Windows Phone “hero” device to hit the U.S. market. Business users should pay close attention, given Blackberry’s steepening decline and a leveling off of business feature enhancements on iOS and Android.

It’s but a wee bit of time until the Nokia Lumia 900 officially launches on AT&T and savvy shoppers can pick themselves up a brand-new Windows Phone for the simple price of one penny.
No, that’s not a typo. AT&T might have the Lumia 900 listed for a cool $99.99 as of this article’s writing, but a quick trip over to Amazon reveals that you can purchase the same device for a tiny piece of copper (technically, copper-plated Zinc, but who’s counting?
