Oklahoma City Gets 3G

Reports of 3G are widespread yet unconfirmed so as always its possible this is just a really awful tease, hopefully it’s not and … [read full article]

Cliq Reviews Galore

The preorder date is just around the corner, and the first batch of in depth reviews, of the T-Mobile bound Motorola Cliq, are rolling in.  A quick run down would be that Blur looks good, but the battery life in the Cliq is very poor as a product of Blur, if you happen to have a bunch of friends updating their statuses (ironic).  Overall, the phone seems to be fairing, well, so so, with some … [read full article]

Sidekick Outage ’09: A Resolution

While we have been following the recent Sidekick data outage rather closely, there seems to still be some loose ends.  Well, with this, T-Mobile hopes to knot everything up and bring everything back into a circle.  In addition to a free month of service, Sidekick customers will also be receiving a $100 gift card.  They are also saying that some more data may be salvaged (but I wouldn’t be holding out for that).  Can we just … [read full article]

“Project Dark/Black” Speculation

The last five days or so has seen a rush of discussion regarding “Project Black.” The guessing game for “Project Black” has taken the T-Mobile Internet with hopes from an iPhone launch to an unlimited plan that makes even Sprint jealous. However, this morning was also met by an editorial courtesy of Engadget that begs the question, is a $50 dollar all-you-can-use plan enough to boost T-Mobile USA’s fortunes? The short answer is no, courtesy of the … [read full article]

tmo-9700-invite

It seems like we already know everything we need to about the Blackberry 9700 (T-Mobile just thinks we don’t).  T-Mobile, in an effort to entice more corporate customers, has started issuing various invites to a special Blackberry event about a phone with WiFi enabled calling.  I don’t know about you, but I am stumped on what it could be.  Anyways, I wish I could attend because they are offering up breakfast for attendees (I hope they … [read full article]
