Rumor Alert: Blackberry Playbook, Storm 3 Coming The Magenta Way?

Rumor Alert: This isn’t the first time we’ve heard this rumor but this time I’m a little more confident having heard this intel from our sources and quite a few of them. I’d still take it all with a grain of salt but it’s looking good.

Oh those silly online resellers. MobileCity has just put up a holding page for the T-Mobile G-Slate with a price of $699.99.

Deutsche Telekom Not Interested In Selling T-Mobile, Stop Worrying

There is no question that T-Mobile’s recent quarterly report left us a little concerned and disappointed. We wanted to see an immediate turnaround and yet, like so many things, this company wide turnaround will be more gradual than immediate. Given that, we thought it might be worth posting a quick article to help allay some of the fears people have expressed since that article went up. On February 25th, the Wall Street Journal printed up a … [read full article]

We’ve been without any news of the upcoming T-Mobile Mifi’s since the beginning of the month but now, thanks to a  trusted tipster we’ve got the goods on T-Mobile looking to start training on these devices.

T-Mobile Finally Ends The Sidekick (OS) Line, Effective May 2011

T-Mobile Removing Flexpay Option, Bringing Deposits Back

There is little question that some sweeping changes may come about as T-Mobile begins its company-wide turnaround especially in light of recent quarterly numbers. One of the first steps taken to begin that process is to eliminate Flexpay across the board. It is our understanding that Flexpay never quite took off as T-Mobile hoped and given that, we aren’t surprised that it’s finally being retired. As we stated back in the middle of February, the … [read full article]

Huawei U8500 T-Mobile Bound? Receives FCC Approval

Few things excite us more than when we see an unknown phone come through the FCC with the necessary bands to run on T-Mobile’s 3G/4G network.

A quick run through of the FCC documentation doesn’t reveal much else and we should remind everyone that FCC approval doesn’t guarantee a T-Mobile arrival. Still, we’re always interested in devices that go through with those beloved AWS bands so we’ll … [read full article]

(Updated) New $80 Plan for a Limited Time

Update: As so many of you (meaning almost all of  you) have pointed out, this has been going on since November so it’s hardly new. While we expected to see an everything unlimited plan today at $79.99 we got caught up in the mix and indeed thought this was new as well.

February 23rd Bringing About Several Device Price Changes

Plenty has been made in the past few days over T-Mobile originally posting a $149.99 post rebate price for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and then updating later with a $199.99 post rebate price. Well, as it turns out, the Galaxy S 4G won’t be alone in seeing a price increase as the myTouch4G and T-Mobile G2 will also see similar increases.
