Loyalty (or complaints) rewarded as AT&T hands out MicroCells

If one thing has grated on AT&T's signal-strapped customers since the introduction of its MicroCell, it's that you have to pay it. After all, you are paying extra for something you should get by default: decent coverage. Perhaps some loyal customers are seeing a reward for that loyalty, however, in the form of free MicroCells. AT&T's MicroCells are its brand of femtocells. A femtocell uses your own broadband to give you better coverage in your house. In the case of AT&T's MicroCell, you have to register specific devices (up to 10) to be used with it. You also have to pay 4150, plus $20 a month if you want usage through the MicroCell to be unlimited. Otherwise, it counts against your minutes. enGadget reader Jason received a letter (true, not an email) offering his family a 3G MicroCell for free. All he had to do is go to a local AT&T store. He noted that he has trouble with dropped calls at home (as do we), but hasn't complained to TS abou...

T-Mobile moves up Vibrant launch date to July 15

We reported earlier that AT&T confirmed a July 18th date for the Captivate, its Samsung Galaxy S variant. It was rumored that T-Mobile was moving up the launch of its own Galaxy S variant, the Vibrant from July 21 to July 15, and that has now been confirmed , also. While unclear if the reason for the Vibrant's bump by six days is the Captivate, it is wouldn't surprise us if that were the case. Both Sprint (Epic 4G, with slide-out keyboard) and Verizon (Fascinate) will also carry Galaxy S variants, but obviously since the Galaxy S is a GSM device the U.S. GSM carriers were going to get it first. All of these Galaxy S variants will have a 4-inch Super AMOLED, a 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird CPU, Bluetooth 3.0, and Android 2.1. The Vibrant and Captivate will both go for $199 (with a 2-year contract), and the Fascinate and EPIC 4G will likely be close in price, though the 4G's slide-out keyboard might raise the price some. However, neither the Vibrant nor Captivate will have...

T-Mobile, AT&T race to release first U.S. Galaxy S device

We've been touting the T-Mobile Vibrant as the first Samsung Galaxy S device to hit a U.S. carrier, given its July 21st launch date. On Thursday, AT&T announced that it will be launching their Captivate on July 18th, which would beat the Vibrant by a few days. Ah, but maybe T-Mobile heard about this: there are rumors, but no official confirmation, that the Vibrant will launch July 15th. The new Vibrant (above) date is unconfirmed, as the last date given on Samsung's Twitter feed still says July 21. it does, however, sound likely given the AT&T date. Both the Vibrant and Captivate will ship with 16GB of internal storage. That is unlike Verizon's Fascinate and the Sprint Epic 4G, which will have 2GB and 1GB respectively. However, the latter devices will have LED flash, and the T-Mobile and AT&T versions will not. These four devices will all have the Samsung Hummingbird CPU and Super AMOLED screens. While people should stop using the term "iPhone kille...

AT&T says network issues an Alcatel-Lucent bug

As we surmised, the issues folks were seeing in terms of uploads on the AT&T wireless network were not a newly instituted upload cap, but rather a problem on their network. In this case, AT&T made sure to point the finger at a bug in Alcatel-Lucent's 3G base station hardware that slowed uploads for any device that supports HSUPA. Unfortunately, however, AT&T noted that a fix isn't here yet. The issue is reducing upload speeds from the normally expected about 1Mbps to around 100kbps or less, a factor of 10. However, it appears to be regional in nature, not affecting the entire country. Here's what AT&T said: “AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent jointly identified a software defect — triggered under certain conditions – that impacted uplink performance for Laptop Connect and smartphone customers using 3G HSUPA-capable wireless devices in markets with Alcatel-Lucent equipment. This impacts less than two percent of our wireless customer base. While Alcatel-Lucent d...
