Gizmodo has done a 3G coverage and speed test in 8 major cities and has presented the results. Now you know why Sprint’s voice coverage sucks. They were busy improving 3G coverage.





I ordered the Google dev phone on Dec 11th. I have not yet received any update on shipping information. After searching in Google I found this thread where some other people were talking about the lack of shipping information. Based on the information on that thread, I went to Fedex and tried tracking order by reference using my order number. Fedex found my order and it looks like my order was shipped the next day on Dec 12th and it is scheduled for delivery on Dec 17th. Now two more days.
Update: About an hour after I wrote this, I got an email saying that my order has been shipped along with the tracking number.

After waiting for a long time to get a better price for AT&T Fuze I decided to give up and buy the Android dev phone from Google. Instead of paying $350 with two year contract I got this phone for $399 with an additional $25 for Android market. The phone is also unlocked and there is no contract. Only problem is I won’t be able to use 3G from AT&T. I think there is WiFi in most places I go around. So it should not be a big problem. I can also switch to T-Mobile once AT&T contract gets over in another six months. Right now I am eagerly awaiting for the phone’s arrival.
