We can’t complain about the $50 price tag T-Mobile has already assigned to the Nokia Lumia 710, but like anyone else, we do love a good deal. Walmart is offering up the Lumia 710 free, either in black or white for new customer contracts with a two-year agreement. You can avoid the contract for just $380 or re-sign for $50, the same price as T-Mobile is charging. Not to be outdone, CostCo is rocking an even … [read full article]
Here’s one rumor I’d welcome coming true as iconic Windows man Paul Thurrott is reporting that he’s been the recipient of a rumor indicating the Nokia Lumia 900 exclusivity period for AT&T is just 45 days.

The boys from The Verge sat down with Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha, who expressed some interesting thoughts on various aspects of the wireless market. One of the notable comments by Jha mentioned that Motorola wants to make fewer pieces of hardware in the future. This goes against the current grain of hardware manufacturers pumping out Android phones like they are going out of style. Behind this decision is Jha’s wish to see Motorola Mobility better focused … [read full article]

Oh what excellent timing…right on the heels of our report on T-Mobile’s first quarter device roadmap, comes a report from the boys at PocketNow indicating the HTC Ville, an Ice Cream Powered Android device is headed to Magenta.

We’ve been wondering all about the Galaxy S Blaze 4G ever since we first got wind of its existence a few hours before the release of the report. Like almost all all the smartphones “announced” at the Consumer Electronics Show, we don’t have a specific date for the Blaze 4G to launch. Or do we? According to this screenshot, we’ve obtained a small piece of T-Mobile’s 2012 roadmap, specifically the first three months. Things may … [read full article]

We knew this day would eventually come, and so we prepare to say goodbye to the very first dual-core device in the United States, the T-Mobile G2x. We just receive word that the G2x, internal known as the LG LGP999 G2x met its fate on January 6th, just 5 short days ago. The G2x led a troubled life, with rumored “recalls,” Gingerbread delays and angry customers suffering reboot after reboot. Still, the G2x performed very … [read full article]
Clarification from T-Mobile Regarding iPhone: Comments made by T-Mobile’s CTO, Neville Ray, regarding the evolution of chipsets to include additional bands were misconstrued. Mr. Ray was speaking generally to chipset advancements available to all phone manufacturers. T-Mobile has no knowledge of Apple’s product roadmap and our position on the iPhone has not changed. Yup, after almost 3 years of being a part of the T-Mobile world as the man behind TmoNews, I’m revealing myself as the great wizard … [read full article]
