the whole reason europe as a whole is behind america is because all the countries standardized early for interoperability. thats because what you call countries are laughably small and insignificant compared to any real place so saying that one country is better than another would be like saying yeah but look how great our coverage is in kansas while ignoring everything else

every european country thinks they matter and its so cute

lol better than europe where because theres no actual difference between carriers theres no incentive to improve the networks

the international pixel has a camera bug where it fucks up if the device is on edge you know the network type that america hasnt had for a few years? yeah europe actually still has that in existence in 2016

america has faster and more lte coverage in more places over a much more diverse topography than europe is anywhere close to matching and its due to telecom competition (which will end once the trump administration begins welp)

i guess it doesnt matter much as americas network is easily 8 years further along than europes

edge still exists here

unless when I'm way the gently caress up north and my phone says E it means something else

i dropped down to edge in rural new hampshire for a couple miles on i-93 up in the mountains though, and also you end up on it in a few of the empty western states if you leave the major roads

i mean there's no reason it'd have gone away, towers that provide 2G GSM as well as 3G or even LTE are still all over the place and it'd be nonsensical to disable the EDGE extensions on them.

that poo poo throttles you once you're somewhere over 5 GB, if they want to, so it ain't unlimited. also throttles your tethering to 128 kilobit unless you shell out extra

tmo has mostly refarmed all of their edge to lte but id guess att hasn't b/c they arent frequency constrained

even when i was in west virginia tmo was 3g lte or nothing

(This is after I told her to get an iPad, and she got a chinese knockoff tablet that defaulted itself and my brother had to spend hours on XDA to figure out how to fix it.)

I told her that it's really just going to be more work and waste my time if you get a Samsung garbage phone, so get an iPhone and you won't have to worry about it. Infact, I'll even buy you the iPhone, because it'll save me money long term when I don't have to give you help and support for hours when there's a problem with it.

At this point my dad flipped out "What if your mom calls for help you will just ignore her because she bought the wrong phone? What is wrong with you?"

I tried to explain to him how terrible Android is, and he's like "You have an Android phone, so why tell your mom not to get one?"

"Because dad I hate myself and this phone (Galaxy Nexus) is garbage, just get an iPhone. I'll even pay for it."

its been super common since 2007 and apple wasn't even the first ones. it's also what a ton of pdas looked like before smartphones were common, just their border margins were chunkier due to technology constraints.
