A look at the Upcoming Motorola Adventure V750 from Verizon Wireless

Here's a preview of the Rugged Motorola Adventure V750 that will be soon released by Verizon Wireless.

Mobile phone experts expect that the Motorola V750 is one of the two new devices planned to be launched this summer. It will be released along with the introduction of the wireless network's new PTT service.

The Motorola Adventure is being marketed as a rugged handset because it has military specs. This means that the design of the V750 will meet military specs 810F for shock, vibration, solar radiation, high temperature storage, altitude, blowing dust, high and low temperature operation. This is a phone that is built to withstand the pressure of any adventure. That's probably they called it the "Adventure".

The promo materials for the wireless network's upcoming rugged mobile phone indicates that the V750 adventure will offer "High Performance Audio." Customers will be able to reliably make calls in any pout door environment. Well, I expect nothing less with a handset that has passed military specs 810F.

As I've mentioned before the wireless network will launch this phone as part of its PTT program. Naturally, the Motorola Adventure V750 will offer Verizon's PTT. Push-to-Talk or PTT is a communication feature that allows a person to quickly communicate with another PTT subscriber with a press of a button.

Since most of the information on Verizon's Motorola Adventure V750 came from leaked promotion sheets, it's expected that the wireless network will launch the handset in the near future. Here are some details on the Motorola Adventure V750:

Features:

• 2.2 inch high resolution internal display
• 1.6 external display
• 2 megapixel Camera with one-touch access to digital imaging

AT&T's HSUPA Upgrade Near Completion

Let me announce some great tidings for AT&T subscribers. The wireless carrier has announced that its entire 3G network will be upgraded to High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) technology by the end of June .

AT&T's HSUPA is expected to complement the previous upgrade to the wireless network's High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) technology. If completed, the upgrade will make
AT&T the first U.S. mobile phone service provider to fully deploy HSPA Technology in its wireless network. The upgrade will allow AT&T subscribers speeds of up to 1.4 Mbps (Down), 800 Kbps (Up).

here's a comment released by the carrier's representative:

"The ability to quickly upload large files from a laptop is no longer a luxury — it's a necessity. By fully deploying HSUPA across our 3G footprint, we not only meet the current needs of our customers but also lay the path for our continued evolution to even faster wireless broadband capabilities."

Currently, the super fast 3G wireless network is being offered in more than 275 markets. The 3G network will be available in nearly 350 markets before the end of the year. The new upload speeds complement AT&T's 3G download capabilities, which currently offer up to 1.4 Mbps across all markets. Customers who have capable devices, such as LaptopConnect wireless modems will benefit from this technology.

In the last three years, the company has invested more than $20 billion in network improvements and upgrades. This figure means that an average of $5 billion a year has been spent by AT&T. The mobile phone service provider will be able to reuse valuable 850 MHz spectrum to expand and enhance 3G markets by recently turning down its older TDMA network. AT&T's HSUPA wireless network is positioned to keep up with customer demand. The company envisions to adopt LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology to reach even higher speeds in the long term.

Some experts see the upgrade as Some experts say that this move may be part of the preparation to launch the 3G iPhone. It has been known to the wireless community that Apple's new handset will sport a 3G radio. This rumor is also based in history. Last year, before the release of the EDGE capable iPhone AT&T embarked on a massive EDGE network upgrade.

Here's some excellent wireless network news for Sprint subscribers. Sprint and Samsung Electronics Corporation Ltd. has announced that the XOHM wireless network is ready for it's commercial release.

Check out this statement from Barry West, the top man at XOHM:

The collaboration with Samsung and our other partners has created a WiMAX ecosystem that has now proven that it can deliver this new technology to the marketplace well ahead of any feasible alternative."

Sprint's XOHM business unit is devoted solely on developing the WiMAX ecosystem and standards to bring the latest broadband wireless technology. Sprint is utilizing the significant spectrum holdings at 2.5 GHz that were combined in the Sprint Nextel merger to deploy mobile WiMAX technology.

The new broadband wireless network from Sprint that offers the speed and mobility of WiMAX has met the demands of rigorous testing. The tests were designed to see if the network can achieve commercial acceptance criteria that includes overall performance, handoff performance and handoff delay.

The extensive evaluation of this high speed wireless network was conducted in the XOHM(TM) lab environment and with the commercial service network being built in the Baltimore and Washington D.C. area. Sprint decided to hold the launching commercial WiMAX service in those cities later this year after the vital technical milestone was achieved in the tests.

The wireless network has introduced several WiMAX-enabled devices in preparation for the launching of XOHM. The Express Card (E100 PC Card) and WiMAX embedded UMPC (Q1 Ultra Premium Mobile PC) are already in place for the WiMAX systems being deployed for Sprint in Baltimore and Washington D.C.

The Top Ten Wireless Carriers of 2007

Here's an interesting list on the top ten wireless networks of 2007. These ratings were made based on the subscriber numbers at the end of 2007. The figures were taken from the company reports and quarterly statements made by these national and regional licensed wireless carriers.

Top Ten U.S. Wireless Service Providers

1. AT&T

2. Verizon

3. Sprint Nextel

4. T-Mobile

5. Alltel

6. U.S. Cellular

7. MetroPCS

8. Leap Wireless

9. Centennial

10. Rural Cellular

The rankings show that AT&T Mobility remains as the top wireless network in the mobile phone industry. With just over 70 million subscribers, it's the clear winner when it comes to the number of customers. A big part of AT&T's success is probably due to their exclusive right to sell the iPhone.

The number two spot has been secured by Verizon Wireless. This wireless network closed the year with more than 65 million customers. However, it took the number one spot in terms of total revenues for the year. The mobile phone service provider will probably increase it customer base as it has recently completed its acquisition of number ten. carrier, Rural Cellular Corp.

Sprint Nextel Corp. remains rooted in the third spot despite being plagued by problems. However, the wireless network will have difficulty in closing in to it's bigger rivals. T-Mobile USA is at the number four spot. The carrier's recent acquisition of SunCom Wireless Holdings Inc., will increase it's customers by a significant number this year.

Launch Dates and Details for AT&T Mobile TV

Finally! We can finally get a taste for AT&T's long delayed mobile TV service.

It seems that the wireless network will finally launch their often delayed mobile TV service in May. An anonymous source within the company has informed the mobile phones spies at BGR that AT&T will officially launch the service on May 4.

But wait. That's not all. The source also revealed the detail's of the wireless network's mobile TV service, including the channels for the services. The wireless network's mobile TV service will be officially known as AT&T Mobile TV and will become available in three main packages. Let us explore these packages.

The wireless network's subscribers can choose the cheapest service called Mobile TV Limited. This service will only cost subscribers $13 in fees per month but it offers a very limited selection of channels. Fox Mobile, CBS Mobile, NBC, and NBC News will be included in the Mobile TV Limited package.

AT&T's Mobile TV Basic package will offer 8 channels for a fee of $15 a month. Wireless network subscribers will enjoy great mobile TV experience while they flip through Fox Mobile, CBS mobile, NBC, NBC News, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, CNN Mobile and ESPN.

For more affluent wireless network subscribers, the Mobile TV Plus from AT&T will offer an exclusive channel for $30 a month. This mobile TV package includes the 9 channels offered on the basic package as well as the exclusive Sony Pictures channel.

The great thing about this service is that users won't have to wait long to view mobile TV because the broadcast will play without any no buffering time. Parents won't have to fear because parental controls will be available on the mobile phones designed to handle the service. Battery life is also not a big issue because the service will consume about the same amount of energy as a normal phone call.

I have to say that I can't wait to have these services. Some experts say that these service was delayed because of concerns about the number of subscriber's who will get the service. I think it will be a hit. Watching TV in a mobile phone is cool and trendy and those are attributes that can really sell a service.


Squashed LG Voyager Rumor

In my previous post. I blogged about a rumor claiming that the LG Voyager will also be coming to Sprint and AT&T. Well, I just found out that LG officials have denied that there is any truth to that rumor. They want the public to know that they have no plans to offer the LG rumor on other wireless networks. It will remain exclusively with Verizon Wireless.

AT&T and Sprint May Get LG Voyager

I have picked up this interesting wireless network rumor while surfing the web. This enticing scoop involves LG's iPhone response or killer. It seems every mobile phone maker is trying to come up with an answer to Apple's gem. Nokia has the "Tube", Samsung recently announced the "Instinct" and LG has the Voyager.

Well, I can't blame cell phone manufacturers and wireless networks with trying to launch the true iPhone slayer. After all, it's probably the hottest mobile phone on the market. The number of fake iPhones in the world market should be a good proof of this Apple handset's dominance. But enough with the introduction. Let's get on to the meat of this juicy wireless network rumor.

Currently, Verizon has the exclusive rights to the LG Voyager or VX10000. However, some rumors have surfaced that Sprint and AT&T may also be able to add the device to their mobile phone line ups. The LG Voyager has performed well since it was launched so it will certainly draw some consumers.

As basis for this rumor, the Electronic Times quoted an LG official making this statement,

"We plan to expand the supply of Voyager to AT&T and Sprint within this year. That will lay the strong foundation for LG in the North American market."

Well, that statement is indeed tantalizing. It's very probable that LG is trying to expand the success of their handset by offering it on other wireless networks. However, there are also a few puzzling facets to this rumor.

Spring Nextel is trying to recover from various problems and the LG Voyager can help them retain their fickle subscribers. However, Sprint has been working with Samsung to launch another iPhone response in the Instinct. The wireless network was reportedly willing to spend a hundred million to market the Samsung Instinct. Launching the Voyager and the Instinct may cause some conflict. Then again, having two high-end and highly touted mobile phones may be the part of solution to Sprint's problems.

AT&T is already the sole distributer of the iPhone so it is puzzling why they would offer an "iPhone killer". Maybe they want to offer new alternatives to their customers. It would be interesting to see what happens if AT&T offers both of these handsets.

In the end, this is just a juicy rumor. We just have to wait and see if these will be fulfilled. I'll be waiting for related press releases, info leaks and more rumors that are related to this topic. I hope that this post have intrigued and stimulated your mobile phone taste buds.
