thanks for the replies guys. I made it back to Portland last night only to have to get on a flight to Atlanta this morning. Portland remains fast (though LTE). from Victorville to Ontario (California) I stayed in HSPA and performance remained poor until getting in the vicinity of the Ontario...

I am a Verizon customer in the process of switching to T-Mobile. I'm on a Verizon family plan with three lines and I've already switched one (my iPhone 5s) to T-Mobile. I switched the day before I came down to Victorville from Portland for a few days for work. In Portland T-Mobile LTE was...

all LTE devices can talk to any LTE channel widths, that is a requirement of the LTE specification. the device category limits it to 100 Mbps though (similar to most other LTE devices currently available).

And to answer your question a windows tablet (e.g. surface 2) is intended to and can easily transfer data to and from an external device. If it were me, I would probably bring one of those with me. In 2011 in Afghanistan I brought a 11" macbook air along and I think it was a better choice than...

Etisalat and roshan are pretty widespread these days (I got 2+ Mbps up around bagram and Kabul supposedly has LTE service now). The service down near leatherneck kind of sucks though. Where are you going to be? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Please

why not use something like hangouts rather than text messages? iPhone to iPhone messaging over wifi isn't actually text messages, they are iMessages which just happen to be handled in the same app that texts are. it's not piggybacking on the GSM call setup or anything.

They haven't published numbers since then, that I can see (unlike the other major IM providers). Read into that what you will. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

80 million total (all platforms) monthly active users: http://blogs.blackberry.com/2013/10/bbm-first-week/ they define active user there too.

What BBM features are those who are dismissive not tried? Remember that on iOS at least, a lot of the features that are on the bb10 version aren't present at all. I was a member of a fairly active group on bbm as well, and the fact that I couldn't independently control group vs single...

I have BlackBerry Messenger on my iPhone (moved from a curve) and all of two contacts on it. one I do chat with and the other is mostly idle and prefers other messengers. would I count as an active BlackBerry Messenger user and as one or as two (is my Curve PIN still counted?) if you are going...

40 million is chump change these days, Whatsapp is at over 400 million, for example. Moreover I suspect more than half of those 40 million are India and middle-east, which is fine but those of us who are north american users have a much harder time finding BBM contacts. Sent from my Nexus 7...

This. I am pretty close to having one messaging client per contact that I chat regularly with. To the point that when I change conversations I am used to changing apps, not changing conversations within the app. If RIM (now blackberry) had gotten out in front of this in 2006 or 2007 or so, I...

changes to my status and profile photo don't get pushed out evenly (one contact has one from several weeks ago and hasn't seemed to detect the change yet). on iOS the app badge indicates totally random numbers for how many messages are waiting, for example right now it indicates 7 even though...

I have it and have two contacts on it. it feels a little klunky compared to other instant messengers these days
