Here We Go Again, Sprint And T-Mobile Rumors Persist

Hey guess what? Another T-Mobile and Sprint merger/acquisition/partnership/holding hands while skipping in the park rumor. This time the Wall Street Journal has stated that Sprint, or more specifically their board of directors is debating whether or not to let rival T-Mobile USA invest in Clearwire. For the record this isn’t the first time Clearwire has popped up in the T-Mobile world as outgoing CEO Robert Dotson has publicly stated that discussions with Clearwire … [read full article]

(UPDATED)Official T-Mobile G2 Images Surface

G2 fans, get excited.  Seriously though, this is important.  What’s as good as live shots?  That’s right, press shots that happen to be on T-Mobile’s servers.  This really puts the nail in the coffin if you ask me, though that is a bit grim (we are looking for positive here).  This phone is in fact coming soon, and does it look great? I think so! Aside from that, all looks good and clear (stock … [read full article]

HSPA+ Expands Some More

It has been a while, but T-Mobile is lightning up HSPA+ all over the place again.  The latest editions include Boston, Mass.; Erie, Penn.; Fresno, Palm Springs and San Diego, Calif.; Miami, Fla.; Richmond, Va.; Spokane, Wash.; and Topeka, Kan.  (I know that there is one TmoNews editor that will be happy to here about Miami’s HSPA+ coverage.) Additionally, just as we anticipated with our leak back in July, Magenta will further upgrade its … [read full article]

Billshrink Shows The True Cost Of Ownership For Galaxy S Phones

When considering a cell phone carrier these days, the lines are often blurred between saving money and picking the best cell phone.  Well, thankfully, BillShrink is working on this for us and has broken down the cost of ownership between all four carriers when owning the respective Galaxy S device.  T-Mobile often comes out ahead in these head-to-head matches.  In this particular instance of the comparison, T-Mobile actually ends up tied on the lower end of … [read full article]

T-Mobile To Offer Smartphone BOGO Again, Now With The Vibrant

And It’s Official, Blackberry 9300 Curve 3G Coming September 8th

Well, chalk up another Blackberry on T-Mobile and while we can’t say we didn’t call this one, it’s always nice when T-Mobile officially announces the date.  The Blackberry 9300 doesn’t have any of the “wow” factors of, say, your typical Android phone but for Blackberry lovers (and there are Blackberry lovers still out there), the BB OS works just fine.  Though we have to say again we don’t understand why Blackberry is releasing any device … [read full article]

T-Mobile Looking To Step Up Android Push?

I have to admit I’m not sure if this page is new and I just happened to stumble onto it last night or if it’s old and I just happened to stumble onto it last night anyway. Either way, it looks as though T-Mobile is going on an Android offensive looking to showcase its Android diversity and strength, not to mention place as the original Android carrier in the US.  Head on over to android.t-mobile.com and … [read full article]

More Goodies Found In Leaked T-Mobile G2 Build

Of course, you remember that leaked G2 ROM.  It did just leak a couple of days ago.  Anyway, some brave souls have taken the time to flash their (rooted) devices with the leaked ROM and come across some interesting finds.  Namely, there are some included Apps and Widgets that definitely mark this as a T-Mobile phone, but we knew that already.  Up above is the G2’s noteworthy welcome screen, making sure to note the … [read full article]

Motorola Charm Video Reviews

Courtesy of Mobileburn This isn’t the first video review we’ve seen for the Motorola Charm and the general consensus is that T-Mobile and Motorola put together a sharp little phone with an average screen.  I think this safe to say that the introduction of this phone won’t detract from the attention the G2 will receive, but it might be a nice little introduction to the Android platform for T-Mobile customers. We’ll update this post … [read full article]

BlackBerry 9300 In All Its Dummy Phone Glory

It was just yesterday that we were able to bring the first confirmed release date for the Blackberry 9300 to grace the T-Mobile lineup.  In just a few days you’ll be able to own this Smokey Violet or Graphite Gray follow up to the Blackberry Curve, my absolute favorite phone of all time.  I have to say that when this phone was first announced by T-Mobile, it was stated that it was Blackberry OS … [read full article]
