Offered at $199, many bloggers, including myself, couldn’t understand why T-mobile would risk such a price when the iPhone 3G was coming in a full 100 dollars lower. Well, a compromise must have been made in the hallways of Bellevue (that or sales have slipped), as tomorrow brings a $50 price drop. Good for new lines and upgrades, the price … [read full article]
T-mobile continues its 3G march this morning with emails coming en masse for Raleigh, Durham and Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

It sure is shaping up to be an exciting holiday season, especially for Android. While we wait for the Cliq, you can feast your eyes on the Samsung Galaxy Lite (in a new color scheme and everything). This Samsung Android phone is looking pretty good and I’m digging the accents. The listed specs are as follows: 3.0? WQVGA TFT … [read full article]
