Sprint has made a claim that it will be the very first carrier to be introducing 3G femtocell technology into the market. The company spokesman said that, just as it was the first to bring in 2G tech, it would also be the pioneer in 3G technology as well.
This claim comes close on the heels of AT&T releasing an announcement about the release of its 3G femtocell in the US, by 2009 end. Sprint, though, did not give any additional info about the price of the device or the rate of service plans.
AT&T has today announced the BlueAnt Q1 Blutetooth Headset with Multicontrol, which includes the Voice Control feature. This headset will be available online from July19, at www.wireless.att.com. This premium noise-cancelling headset will let users many controls, with merely voice commands. This eliminates the need for users to memorize button combinations, which otherwise becomes mandatory with other such headsets.
BlueAnt’s advanced Voice Isolation Technology software also gives clear calling quality by making the user’s sound stand out above external noise. This results in echo cancellation and wind noise reduction as well. Users can also manage calls from two phones at one and the same time, thanks to multipoint technology. The headset comes in gunmetal and is designed to fit all ear shapes and sizes.
The BlueAnt will be available for $129.9. Click here to know more about the BlueAnt Q1.
Take a look at the pic below. What do you think of it? Pretty strange-looking object, right? Well, this one’s a phone from Nokia, which has recently gotten FCC documentation.
The Nokia RM-599, as it is called now, has WCDMA on Bands II and V, which seem to be for use on the North American 3G network. Considering the ID label here, we think we might be actually looking at the Mako for AT&T. This, of course, means that the phone has managed to clear some of the initial hurdles. We still have no idea as to what AT&T is doing with it at the moment, but we get the feeling we’ll see the release of this one sooner or later.
Some of you may recall that the MyPre or PreCommunity was initially seen in a Palm Pre, making use of a GSM SIM card at the Mobile World Congress that had been held in February this year. Now, Palm is believed to be making another GSM Palm EOS for AT&T.
