New Study Reveals AT&T is the Fastest Carrier, Sprint with the Most Dropped Calls

Metrico Wireless has just released the results of a study based on 21,000 nationwide web page downloads and 6,000 voice calls that has revealed some very surprising results.

AT&T was by far the fastest carrier in terms of data speeds. AT&T is usually regarded as very slow, but for some reason the iPhone 4S loads web pages very quickly with AT&T. Verizon's data speed came in second place, while Sprint's data speed only reached an average of 581 kbps on the iPhone 4S. This speed is 5x slower than AT&T's data speed. As for calling, people you call will be able to hear you best if you use Sprint, but you will be able to hear people you call best with AT&T.

The most surprising piece of data that the study revealed was the dropped call rate of all three carriers. While most people would assume that AT&T would have by far the highest dropped call rate, Sprint actually dropped the most calls with a 3.7% dropped call rate. AT&T came in second with a 2.8% rate, and Verizon came in first with a 2.1% dropped call rate.

The HTC Evo 3D- A 1.2GHz, 1GB RAM, glasses-free 3D, 3D picture-taking smartphone!

Sprint says they'll "pull back the curtain with the latest in wireless innovation at CITA." So, what exactly will they do? Tech and Cars presents you with the full scoop!

Sprint's biggest new product will be the HTC Evo 3D. This will be the sucessor of the Evo 4G. It will be extremely fast- 1.2GHz processor and amazing 1GB RAM. It will also have a glasses-free 4.3" 960x540 3D display. As usual, it will have a 1.3 MP front facing camera, but this time, it will have dual 5MP rear cameras so that you can take 3D pictures and videos! There will be 3D versions of Blockbuster and YouTube apps so that you aren't left without 3D videos. Sprint will also present to HTC EVO View 4G, a CDMA/Wi-Max vresion of their HTC Flyer tablet.

HTC 7 Pro to be Released Feb. 24!

February 24 isn't going to be a big day; it's going to be a HUGE day! Not only will the new MacBook Pro and the Motorola Xoom be released, but the HTC 7 Pro will be released! A recent tweet by Sprint claims that their next  phone will have a hub for gaming, music, pictures, and video. And it even assures us that the phone will be released on Thursday, Feb. 24! This phone has been waiting for Microsoft to complete its Windows Phone 7 software update, which lets you copy and paste, and includes CDMA support. This phone probably is the HTC 7 Pro, because the hubs must be the hubs found in Windows Phone 7, and the only Windows Phone 7 phone rumored to come to sprint is the 7 Pro.

Sprint and T-Mobile iPhones may hit the Market!

The fact that Verizon Wireless will begin selling the iPhone on February 10th has been huge news, and Verizon should sell millions of Verizon iPhone 4s. But, Verizon isn't for everyone. Though it does have the speediest network around, that network could easily get slowed down by all the data Verizon iPhone users use. That could even result in dropped calls. Verizon is also rather pricey. The iPhone 3GS will still be avaliable on AT&T, which as of now is the worst network, but could get cleaned up when the iPhone 4 goes to Verizon. However, AT&T will still remain the worst carrier. In summary, the iPhone still isn't for everyone. Sprint does say that they have a surprise coming February 7th, and it very well could be a Sprint iPhone. After all, Apple has repeatedly reminded us that Verizon has a non-exclusive contract with the iPhone. T-Mobile, one of the less expensive carriers, is showing interest in designing a T-Mobile iPhone. They said they would like to make this happen and that the only thing preventing them from doing so is working out changes in a different 3G frequency. T-Mobile does sell iPhones in Europe. If I were Sprint, I would actually let T-Mobile go ahead and make a T-Moible iPhone, and then boast the fastest network; it would be the only one not packed with data-eating iPhones.
