Word is buzzing around the net about data loss for the Nexus One around the nation. When you try to connect to the internet on the Nexus One through T-Mobile, this message pops up: “To connect to the web with the device you are using, you will need a webConnect data plan.” So for the 20,000 people who own a Nexus One, your data plan got jacked for a few hours.
Ok, not really jacked but it was gone. And no one really seems to have an answer as to why its down. The guys over at T-Mobile never gave an official response but as of about 1 PM ET, data was restored.
This outage will be harmful to T-Mobiles reputation if they don’t make an effort to announce the precautions they are putting or already have in place to prevent this. It already has the smallest network (albeit the fastest) in the US; but now if it is having difficulties handling the small amount of people who own the Nexus One, they are going to have problems in the future.
