I have to say that I’m a little puzzled by the comments I see regarding the HTC HD2 and its upgrade possibilities or lack of them. A number of you have expressed complaints over the lack of a Windows Phone 7 upgrade path for the HTC HD2 and I have to really wonder why. I get it . Windows Phone 7 looks cool, seems to function far better than Windows Phones have up to this … [read full article]
Mostly overshadowed by the release of the HTC HD2 today but not to be forgotten is the Nokia Nuron which is out now. I’ve had some hands on time with the Nokia Nuron here at CTIA and I have to say that, while the reviews have been less than stellar, I honestly think it’s a cool little device. Yes, it’s not fancy shmancy like Android or the iPhone or even the HD2. The reviews … [read full article]
Today was a monumental day for me, for TmoNews, our readers and for humanity in general. Just kidding on that last part! Andrew already touched on the HSPA+ announcements just a little while ago. However, for the first time, TmoNews found itself at a T-Mobile event and I didn’t even have to sneak in! It was an experience in and of itself and, while it wasn’t some huge event with balloons and hoopla, to me it … [read full article]
Tomorrow, March 24th, is a busy busy day. Not only will we be seeing the official launch of the HTC HD2 and the Nokia Nuron, but T-Mobile has decided to add the custom Dell Inspiron Mini 10 with T-Mobile webConnect to the list. What a way to accompany the expansion of HSPA+! The Dell Mini 10 is your typical netbook, sporting a 10.1-inch WSVGA display, 1.3 megapixel webcam, three USB ports, VGA … [read full article]
Today, T-Mobile announced an expansion of its blazing fast HSPA+ network. While it was originally limited to Philadelphia, it has been expanded to parts of New York City, New Jersey, Long Island, the Las Vegas Convention Center and Strip areas, and west suburban Washington DC, with Los Angeles coming soon. In another update, T-Mobile senior vice president of engineering and operations Neville Ray said that “Over 200 million people in the US are now covered … [read full article]
It seems like we have been talking about the Nokia Nuron‘s arrival for a while now, but the official announcement and price were detailed today by T-Mobile and Nokia. It will be joining the March 24th phone release party and come in at $60 with a new agreement. I feel bad for it, really, since it has been completely overshadowed by the HTC HD2 (see recent headlines). It might be worth the … [read full article]
This certainly isn’t the first instance of pre-release purchasing, but it seems outlandish for such an anticipated device. This specific phone was purchased from a Walmart a few days in advance. So, if you have a Walmart nearbyand you can’t stand waiting, then it might be worth the trip (no promises though). The lucky guy, a former iPhone fan (we stole another one!) going by JDMiPhoner, was kind enough to make/take some video of the device from … [read full article]
The Nokia Nuron is shaping up to be a touchscreen delight with minimal monthly addition. Having already grabbed images of the phone in the wild, it’s only right that we move on to the next step of phone leak evolution: the video. Without further ado, we present the above and while it’s less than two minutes, it’s enough to get a glimpse at the phone’s touchscreen in all its resistive form. While it’s likely … [read full article]
After a little confusion the other day caused us to believe and then redact that T-Mobile was offering the current BOGO to upgrades, we are now able to confirm this as true. Previously, the BOGO had extended just to new activations and add a lines only. Now, T-Mobile has gone and extended the offer to all customers who are fully eligible for upgrades. Let me reiterate, you have to be FULLY eligible for upgrades in … [read full article]
Hmm, here is a bit of interesting news. Reuters is reporting that T-Mo is trying to find a way to boost its spectrum capacity. Within this goal, the company is considering forming a joint venture with Clearwire. According to Robert Dotson, the chief executive of T-Mobile USA, the company is “looking for additional spectrum… there are a number of different options we look at, (we) have been talking with cable companies, with Clearwire,…” The big magenta does … [read full article]
