AT&T 4G LTE Now Available in Major Cities

I recently changed my wireless service from Verizon Wireless to AT&T and got an iPhone because I not only liked the idea that I could talk and surf the web, but i also needed a phone that was going to keep up with all my foolishness simultaneously. Since the iPhone 5 had been announced, I was seriously entertaining the idea of going back to Verizon Wireless to take advantage of their expansive 4G LTE network. Something told me to look and see what I find out about the other wireless carriers launching LTE in major cities. Low and behold, I go onto AT&T's website and I see a listing of the cities now servicing LTE, and my city (Philadelphia) is there in black and white. I do some more research to find out when this change took effect, and it looks like this was turned on September 14, 2012 (same date as the announcement of the iPhone 5 which is LTE capable).

I must say, this has probably saved me as an AT&T customer. :)

New iPhone to Possibly Support LTE

Just read an article from the Wall Street Journal that suggests that the new iPhone 5 could possibly support LTE networks. Can I just tell you that would be an AMAZING thing for Apple. Now if only we could get ALL U.S. carriers to support TRUE 4G coverage.

HTC One X Upset

So I was completed INFATUATED with the HTC One X. To me, it was the android phone I'd love to never have. I've used it a couple times and I just LOVE the battery life on it. Didn't really use the phone in my usual capacity (no music playing for hours on end. Just texting, web browsing, facebooking, and of course picture taking), but I knew if I didn't have my iPhone I would surely have this. One of my girlfriends tells me she is in the market for a new phone and would like to know my recommendations for a phone with AT&T. I gave her a suggestion of a low end smartphone since she has never had one before. She said she wanted a newer model phone so she didn't have to worry about her phone being obsolete in a couple of months. of course I told her about the HTC One X. She liked all the features of the phone and asked me about removable memory. I told her the phone didn't have removable memory but had more than enough space for what she is going to be using it for (16GB of internal memory). She asked if she could get the same phone with more memory like you can with the iphone. I wasn't sure, but I didn't think so. Come to find out you can't! The phone ONLY comes in 16GB. That was a MAJOR bummer for me since I'm the kind of person who is about to max out a 32GB iPhone. That just made my hope of this being an amazing phone dwindle down to just another toy to play with! :'(

iPhone 5 Rumors

As some of you may know, I am obsessed with my iPhone. So when the rumors of the iPhone 5 started, I began to get that much more excited. We have heard MANY rumors regarding it's form and function, but it seems like some of those rumors are beginning to prove true. As of 9/4/12, Apple OFFICIALLY started releasing information indicating that the 5 is come much sooner than later.

Now I know some of you are thinking this isn't much to go off of, but to me, this spoke VOLUMES! 9/12/12 is when an Apple press release is scheduled and I am willing to be money this is where the iPhone 5 will be announced. I don't think the phone will be coming out on the 12th, but I'm sure it will be coming out shortly thereafter. Now that the word is out on the press release, we have even began to see some possible pictures and videos surface of what the iPhone 5 will look like. 

Check out this video I watched. If this is what we have to look forward to just on the form alone, there's no telling what fun goodies this phone will be packed with. 

The only thing I wish they didn't do was put that headphone jack at the bottom. I guess I just don't like certain kinds of change...lol! I'll deal with it though.
