I totally saw this one coming.  AT&T has sued Verizon over their some what hilarious ‘there’s a map for that’ commercial – it parodies Apple’s ‘there’s an app for that’ ads.  Video below.

The commercial displays two US maps comparing Verizon’s robust 3G coverage versus AT&Ts spotty 3G coverage.  AT&T says it’s misleading because the map Verizon used doesn’t show AT&Ts 2G coverage and could lead consumers into thinking that they don’t provide service in the majority of the US.  Additionally, the maps aren’t a comparable representation since Verizon’s map depicts all of Verizon’s service area while AT&T’s just shows the areas in which they’ve implemented 3G – kind of the same thing, but you know what I’m saying.

At the end of the day the suit will probably result in Verizon pulling the commercials or updating them to include a more comprehensive map of AT&Ts coverage area.

Personally, I think Verizon showed their hand with these commercials but in my recent experience they’re not far off from the general consensus.  Many a people I’ve spoken to say they ‘hate their iPhone’ when they mean to say they hate AT&T for their spotty coverage.  But, hey, that’s what happens when you align your cellular service so closely with a handset.  Will AT&T be the iPhone’s downfall?

Looks like it’s official with AT&T’s announcement, the up to now black BlackBerry Bold will be making an appearance in a ghostly white skin. At first I thought it a bit strange but it’s definitely growing on me.

Expect an October 18 release for $199 after 2 year contract.

AT&T officially announced the availability of the HTC Tilt 2 and Pure. We’ve already seen the Tilt 2 with official AT&T branding and it looks like they’ll be charging a pretty hefty sum much like the other carriers out there. The PURE on the other hand, will be a bit cheaper but still cost a pretty penny. On a more positive note, both of these phones will be the first to sport Windows Mobile 6.5 on the AT&T network.

Feature wise the Tilt 2 has a 3.6-inch touchscreen and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. They’ve also stuffed in dual speakers and dual microphones for some much needed…

Well folks, believe it or not, but the wait for the Garmin nuvifone G60 is almost over. On October 4th AT&T Wireless well begin selling the handset for $299 after a 2-year contract signing and $100 mail-in-rebate. Garmin-Asus’ G60 is said to provide the “easiest-to-use location experiences available because it is the only phone to fully integrate the world’s best selling GPS navigator with voice, data and mobile web.” So it’s probably best to think about the G60 as a GPS with an integrated phone, and not the other way around.

The G60 will include a 3 megapixel camera with geo tagging, be preloaded with a ton of POIs, have access to AT&T’s 20,000 WiFi hotspots and come packed with a dashboard and windshield mount. When the G60 is removed from the in car mounts it will automatically…

The price structure has been announced for the AT&T 3G MicroCell, a line of femtocells, devices designed to help AT&T customers get better reception inside buildings, as well as faster overall speeds.  Described as being “like having a cell phone tower in your home”, the 3G MicroCell is the first such publicly-tested device of its kind.

But the web community’s getting pretty torqued about the fact that you have to shell out monthly cash for this little beauty–about twenty bucks a month for unlimited use and ten if you subscribe to AT&T wireless and home phone.  Include the internet service in that last and you get the MicroCell free of charge.

It’s sort of a low blow, offering a device that’ll let you use the device you pay to use in all situations but then requiring people to pay for it.  For crying out loud, they’re already subscribers–why not just send everyone a free one to keep your base interested?

Is it too early to say FINALLY?!  Three weeks from tomorrow on Friday the 25th, iPhone 3G and 3GS owners will get the 1st stab at sending picture and video texts to a recipient of their choice.

The reason AT&T claims this has taken so long is that they wanted to make double sure that their network systems were in check so that all iPhone users have a stellar and glitch free experience from launch.  That seems honest.

An update will arrive sometime on the 25th and after you get it installed you will be able to send picture and video texts.  With no official date set for tethering, it will be interesting to see how well this launch goes.

And now a word from AT&T:

An Update on iPhone MMS for our Mobility Customers We know many of our iPhone customers are eager for an update on our rollout schedule for Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). We’ve been working for the past several months to prepare our systems and network to ensure the best possible experience with MMS when it launches – and that launch date is: September 25 for iPhone 3G and 3GS customers. MMS will be enabled through a software update on that day.

We know that iPhone users will embrace MMS. The unique capabilities and high usage of the iPhone’s multimedia capabilities required us to work on our network MMS architecture to carry the expected record volumes of MMS traffic and ensure an excellent experience from Day One. We appreciate your patience as we work toward that end.

We’re riding the leading edge of smartphone growth that’s resulted in an explosion of traffic over the AT&T network. Wireless use on our network has grown an average of 350 percent year-over-year for the past two years, and is projected to continue at a rapid pace in 2009 and beyond. The volume of smartphone data traffic the AT&T network is handling is unmatched in the wireless industry. We want you to know that we’re working relentlessly to innovate and invest in our network to anticipate this growth in usage and to stay ahead of the anticipated growth in data demand, new devices and applications for years to come.

We thank you for your business and look forward to keeping you updated on our initiatives.
