Last year, I was fortunate enough to attend LG’s G3 launch event to see if the company could come up with a device bold enough and powerful enough to beat its flagship rivals. Sadly, despite having great specs on paper, the overall performance for me wasn’t quite good enough. The screen was dull and dark and its camera could sometimes … [read full article]
Not long ago, John Legere sent out a teaser featuring what looked like a picture of a black berry. And, true to the teaser, T-Mobile just announced that it will – once again – start selling BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry Classic will go on sale online at T-Mobile.com and in participating stores from May 13. Time for a little fun! I’ve got some news, but maybe you can figure it out from this – guess … [read full article]
It was back in March at MWC where I got my first hands-on experience with the new Alcatel OneTouch smartphone. And – for the first time – I was impressed by an Alcatel phone. In the past, the company has perhaps built the wrong kind of reputation for making cheap phones with far too many compromises. But the Idol 3 is the manufacturer’s attempt at making its own flagship at an affordable price. And I have to … [read full article]
Just a couple of days before T-Mobile’s first quarterly earnings call of 2015 a thread on Reddit got our attention. Within it, a customer complained of being “throttled” when – in fact – he was feeling the result of data de-prioritization. It seemed like – from what he understood – that he’d hit some magic, hidden number of GBs in downloads on LTE and had … [read full article]
This morning, T-Mobile announced that it will be kicking off a huge iPad offer for a limited time. In all, you’ll end up paying less for your LTE-equipped Apple tablet than you’d normally pay for a Wi-Fi only model direct from T-Mobile. Although the offer is fantastic value, the way T-Mobile has gone about it is a little less than straight forward. In order to be eligible for the offer, customers have to buy the iPad (any … [read full article]
During the earnings call for the final quarter of 2014, John Legere announced that – unofficially – T-Mobile was already ahead of Sprint in total subscriptions. But the official numbers didn’t agree. After T-Mo’s blockbuster quarter, many had assumed that those official numbers would catch up. With the Verizon and AT&T posting disappointing subscriber add numbers, the industry was all but certain that Sprint wouldn’t do … [read full article]
Verizon’s made a big push and spent a ton of cash on its Never Settle marketing campaign. T-Mobile, in the early hours of this morning, has responded with its very own campaign inviting Verizon customers to switch. As it turns out, T-Mo agrees that you shouldn’t settle… for Verizon. The Never Settle Trial offers the chance for Verizon customers to try the T-Mobile network out for themselves and – if they don’t like it – they can … [read full article]
BlackBerry and T-Mobile’s relationship might be temporarily on hold, but that doesn’t mean you can’t grab one of the company’s devices to use on your favorite carrier’s network. The most recent of those is the all-touch BlackBerry Leap; the company’s latest attempt at cracking the budget end of the market. It’s an interesting concept and is – sort of – the latest descendent of the BlackBerry Z10 which didn’t do so well a couple of years ago. … [read full article]
T-Mobile Galaxy Note Edge users, your Android 5.0 Lollipop update has arrived. The carrier started the software update rollout this morning and – so far – a handful of customers have already emailed and tweeted us to let us know that they have the new firmware installed. If you’re yet to update, however, you should not that it’s not a small update by any means. After all, this is Samsung we’re talking about here. In all, the … [read full article]
It looks incredibly likely that the budget Windows Phone from Microsoft is going to be making an appearance on T-Mobile store shelves very soon. The Lumia 435 is the latest low-end device that promises to be great value for money. T-Mobile’s support pages now list the device, and Microsoft has its own page dedicated to the T-Mo flavored version of the small smartphone. Thanks to the ever-perceptive eyes of 50Atomic for … [read full article]
