LG And T-Mobile USA Looking To Partner Up?

One of the questions I get asked the most is why doesn’t T-Mobile carry any phones from LG? While that’s a question I can’t answer, the good folks at Telecomskorea believe that’s about to change. As LG has watched its relationship with Verizon, their predominant North American partner decline, LG is looking to find alternative partners in the US to stop its declining market share. According to the article, T-Mobile officials “reportedly” visited LG’s headquarters in Seoul … [read full article]

T-Mobile Losing Interest In Motorola Cliq?

While hype for the Motorola Cliq was high, sales of the phone have unfortunately turned out to be unexpectedly low.

Of course, I can’t say it’s on EVERY single purchase as I don’t fully comprehend the Bing cashback program but 35% on something is better than nothing. So if you’ve been holding out … [read full article]

LTE in Late 2012?

Now, I can’t speak of how accurate this information is, so please have your salt in hand.  Deep in this 3G America document (page 3 of 3 actually) there is a line saying that T-Mobile USA will be deploying LTE in Q4 of 2012.  While this is a year after AT&T (who are just trying to play catch up with Verizon) I am not worried.  If you remember correctly, T-Mobile is … [read full article]
