You about summed it up - "ive had Bold issues since i got it in march".
It has been suggested that you switch SIM cards, but you'd prefer to attack people trying to work with you. Another suggestion would be to get a non BlackBerry device and see if it meets your needs. You sir, need a time out, bud. |

We all know from the BOLD release was delayed by AT&T because of the iPhone 3G tying up all the bandwidth on the AT&T network, even RIM had to help AT&T and now the US AT&T customers (ONLY) report of calls being dropped which suggests something still isn't right on AT&T's network. And like I said ready Rogers Wireless who uses the same network infrastructure as AT&T has had no problems with serving both its iPhone 3G and Blackberry customers on its network here in Canada, plus any AT&T customers who come to visit us (grin), Rogers Wireless supplies all of Canada with GPRS/3G/HSPA. I think maybe the problem is in your mind... LoL and someone at AT&T is controlling it as there is no logic in your rebuttal to substantiate your claims that it's the BOLDs OS! :o) |
AT&T's network, if you can believe what you read on the net, is actually pretty good except in certain areas. NYC Metro, where I live, and San Fransisco are two locations I've read about with a poor network.
I'm on my third Bold SIM, no change. Yesterday I send AT&T an email (working with an Executive Response Case Manager to resolve my problem before I quit my contract). I was in lower Manhattan from 4th Street to Battery Park and had six calls drop "Call Failed". At least three times I tried to make a call and I had it fail saying "Congestion". I wasn't standing in the same spot during this time. Data wasn't better as I had the hour glass next to outgoing messages for a long time (I didn't time it, just noticed my messages hadn't been sent when I tried to send another). Regards-Michael G. |

I have my own BES and haven't any issues with emails not going through, only at the office had we had problems but that was simply because I had not setup Exchange and the BES server to reboot at the correct times once their windows updates were installed, since I fixed it no in our company has had a problem.

It's a bit weak in Houston - has been since Hurricane Ike.

Hurricane's rarely make it this far north... AT&T needs to keep on top of their network issues, especially after big storms! :o) Andrew |

It seems to me after reading your post that AT&T is far behind the times and needs to improve their network and do what Ted Rogers did and spend billions each year to install new towers and repeaters in areas that are suffering otherwise they it will get so bad that no one will want to come visit their friends, family and or relatives anymore because they can't get any phone service! :o) Andrew |

the bold is a 3G tri-band world phone, like many other phones out there that run on at least the same 3 3G bands (i.e. Epix, Fuze). these devices all use the same frequencies from AT&T for 3G, those being 850MHz and 1900MHz. they also all use the same SIM cards. the Epix and Fuze dont have 3G issues like "my" Bold(s). same network, same frequencies, same SIM card...whats the only thing thats not the same? the device! so you ask about Rogers then...surely Rogers runs on the same frequencies correct? yet all you Roger's Bold owner dont have any issue. well the thing you seem to be missing is the fact that Rogers relys on 850MHz more than 1900MHZ...AT&T is just the opposite. Lower frequency = better penetration = better reception = fewer dropped calls. where is the flaw in my logic? and again, let me reiterate, i dont think its the Bolds OS, i think its the Bolds hardware. and before you go jumping down my throat about that part, remember, this is just my opinion. its not based on factual data like my previous argument. edit: let me make it clear that im well aware that the Bold works completely fine in many areas of the US (such as here in Blacksburg,VA). the issue is when youre near the 3G border, which is where I had the issues. every phone has to deal with switching back and forth between 3G/EDGE, yet the other phones dont drop calls when they do this. The Bold (and from what Ive heard the iPhone) are the only phones out their that seem to have this issue. of course, ive mentioned i have numerous Bold problems, not just 3G issues. but thats a completely different story and i think most of those issues are based on the fact that my current and last Bolds were refurbs. My original brand new Bold didnt really have many issues besides the dropped calls. Had i known at the time that its going to be a problem no matter what, surely i wouldnt have XBMed it in the first place. |

GSM/GPRS/EDGE on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands (Also known as 2G GSM, or 2.5G in the case of EDGE) UMTS/HSPA on the 850 MHz band (Also known as 3G GSM) You need to do a better job a learning your technology. :0) All 3G device operate at 850Mhz while in 3G mode. And currently my Bold is set to operated in both 3G and 2G so it's possible that my phone does work the same way in 2G mode using 1900MHz. Rogers use to be called Rogers AT&T Wireless before Ted Rogers had the name changed to Rogers Wireless (not sure if Mr. Ted bought AT&T's ownership or if AT&T decided to have their name removed, or if there was some government and or legal thing that required AT&T to remove their name) . It's very likely the two network still operate the same way with the exception that Rogers has poured billions into their network to compete with Bell Canada who use to have the largest wireless network across Canada. There is no problem with BOLD phones on the Rogers network, even our CEO who has a BOLD running the old Rogers firmware (.168 I think) doesn't have problems with his phone dropping calls... The other possibility could be is that you have the bad ion. (laugh) There are people in this world where technology and them don't get along and somehow the managed to wrech technology without dropping or kicking it. My Ex use to stop clocks when she was upset, even stopping the electric clock on the stove... So maybe that's the case here with you? :D Andrew |
