T-Mobile already lighting up 3G network in Las Vegas and Austin?

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 02:06:17 +0000

T-Mobile’s 3G network has been a long time coming. After winning the 1700Mhz AWS spectrum that it needed to launch its own special flavor of 3G networks in the US, T-Mobile was forced by the US government to stand-by as bureaucratic agencies proceeded to vacate the spectrum. And, after initially launching their 3G network in [...]

IKEA is known in the US and Europe for their cheap, assembly-required furniture with a tendency to wear out after a year or so of use. Anybody that has logged time in a college dorm room will likely be all too familiar with the particleboard planks that make up a majority of IKEA’s living space [...]

T-Mobile Sidekick 2008 live pics!

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:23:17 +0000

By now it’s clear that T-Mobile’s newest HipTop, the Sidekick 2008, will be launching sooner rather than later. Good thing, considering T-Mobile will probably want to release a handset named for the year 2008 with as much time left on the 2008-clock as possible. So, with the Sidekick 2008 (Gekko) headed to a T-Mobile store near [...]

It’s better than nothing.

Sure, these aren’t pics of [...]

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:09:59 +0000

With T-Mobile having announced their T-Mobile @Home UMA (unlicensed mobile access) service for a July 11 launch, additional UMA handset details are starting to creep out of the woodwork. HTC's original T-Mobile Shadow (basically a re-branded HTC Juno) handset was a success for T-Mobile, and it seems that the No. 4 US wireless carrier is looking [...]

Alltel tried to buy Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 19:14:38 +0000

What's this? A recent interview with Alltel CEO Scott Ford has revealed that prior to getting prepped as Verizon's $28 billion meal, Alltel tried to buy one of the Big Three US wireless carriers. Apparently, Alltel made a bid to takeover Sprint not once, but three times. Talk about gung-ho dedication. AT&T and T-Mobile were even [...]

T-Mobile details quirky prorated ETF policy - almost useless

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:57:37 +0000

T-Mobile, facing ETF-pressures from consumers and the Feds alike, have finally given in to the prorated ETF trend. But, we really can't fathom why America's favorite (at least according to JD Power) wireless carrier wouldn't give customers a bigger break on their ETF (early termination fee) policy. While the rest of the Big Four will be [...]

We're looking for T-Mobile to pick up the Sony Ericsson [...]

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 18:13:44 +0000

What do we have here? Could this blurry FCC-sourced picture be the successor to Windows Mobile-powered T-Mobile's Shadow? Well, judging by the looks of the HTC CONV100, we thinks this little gem is most likely the T-Mobile Shadow II that was leaked not too long ago (pictured on the left). The HTC Juno ended up [...]

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 18:51:10 +0000

With the recent spate of unlimited wireless plans launched from almost every single US wireless carrier, it was only a matter of time before one of the Big Four wised up and launched a family-plan [...]
