T-Mobile Confirms 3G Issues for Google Nexus One

I'm supposed to get my $586 phone today. glad to find out that it'll be a great lookin paper weight. will be looking foward to a full refund. 👀

thanks Google and T-Mobile, you guys have made my Monday Morning a great one! *End Sarcasim*

So after ranting about Tmobile not being able to support the Nexus One's 3g and actually playing with my phone I have come to the conclusion that the web is indeed 3g speed. Well it seems to work as fast at the mytouch and I could live with that. Overall I am pleased and happy with my purchase. 😁 🤤 🤤

Does T-Mobile USA have a map for that???? 🤣

Should have put a device that needs this much 3G coverage on Sprint or Verizon

It's a new phone...stuff like this happens with everything. A couple software updates and (hopefully) this'll be fixed. It's (probably) no big deal.

I'm not a fanboy...I have an iPhone and I love it. Though I understand those who do not(in poor AT&T 3G areas I live in Dayton, OH and our AT&T 3G coverage here is amazing).

That's all.

i cant belive this is still a mystery for some.

This isn't the first good phone that has had issues and it won't be the last. I'm sure either firmware upgrades or exchanges will be made, depending.

Hopefully this is just something that can be fixed by a firmware/software upgrade, maybe the phone was rushed to the market too soon. I still think this was a great move by htc and google.

As I've said, the Nexus One could be a major misstep for Google and, so far, unhappy customers are proving me right. Sadly, quality telephone support isn't something Google can roll out overnight, which is another good reason for would-be customers to wait until Google has a better handle on support issues before purchasing a Nexus One.

It is ironic that TMO a company known for great customer support would pair with a company with no customer support. 🤣

...the Moto CLIQ. That thing won't hold onto a 3G signal, either.

Hrm, an HTC device running someone else's operating system has a problem....

However, HTC is branding the handset under someone else (like say, Audiovox or UTStarcom) , but it still says HTC on the phone... who do I get support from? HTC? No, they're telling me to go to the carrier. The carrier? No, they're telling me to go to Google. Google? Do they even HAVE suppport lines?

Where have I seen this before?

Oh, I know! Just about every HTC device I've ever owned or have come in contact with.

Sounds about right for Tmobile. I used to work for Tmobile and their network is always having issues. I have seen Known network issues like unable to access the web last 6 months in some places. Rediculous.

I am sure they will, but I think that is the only difference between Tmobile and carriers like VZ and ATT (I am not bashing) but the amount of hours that are put into testing is the reason why these two companies take so long to come out with phones. (or they use to) The downside to that is that Tmobile has the hottest phones on the market usually before anyone else.

I am not surprised that there are issues. Normally, a new device is thoroughly tested on the network it is going to, I suspect that the testing was not detailed enough because it is an unlocked phone.

That said, I am sure that there is going to be a series of patches in the next 30-60 days for many issues with the Nexus One before Google gets it right.

Welcome to the retail world, Google...
