Blackberry 8520 Dressed In White

While the retail release date seems to be missing, the Black 8520 dropped on the same day as Walmart so we’ll just hope for the same luck this time around. Of course, Walmart was also offering this introductory Blackberry at $48.88, a … [read full article]

Wherefore art thou CS8?

Sony Ericsson is hands down my favorite cell phone manufacturer of all time. I have always been in love with their quick but feature rich phone icon based interface. I love the simplicity of it, the ability to hack the hell out of it and theme that baby to your heart’s content. Of course, the personalization is no more so than any Nokia would allow, but SE gets my love and adoration. Therefore, I pose the question … [read full article]

About a month ago David reported that overage charges were going to increase come September 1st, and well…that is tomorrow.  Treat this as a friendly reminder to save yourself a bunch of trouble, and charges, by changing your plan if you think (can you really plan this?) you will be using more than your allotted minutes.  Chances are, you will be fine, but if you have gone over on your minutes a … [read full article]

Three Phones T-Mobile Bound

Noka-3710a T-Mobile

As some of you may know, I happen to love when the FCC unveils information about upcoming phones.  Well, this wonderful government body (which has all the fun with new phones) has granted access to three new phones for T-Mobile.  To begin with, we have the Nokia RM-509 (pictured above and known as the 3710 elsewhere), which is a mid range flip phone with a QVGA internal display, S40 UI, GPS, 3.2MP … [read full article]

Dearest Readers, Tmonews has seen some definite hardships in the last two weeks. Server troubles have plagued the day-to-day life of the website and caused my hair to turn gray.

Maemo5 User Interface on the N900

After watching the Nokia N900 introduction video from yesterday, let me just say I can’t sleep. This device is a very-much needed upgrade to T-Mobile’s current Nokia line-up. Not to mention a possible “iPhone Killer”. Please enjoy this video of the Maemo5 User Interface on this godly device. Thumps up Nokia, for great marketing! I’m loving these commercials, just add some Magenta flavor and your good! Feel free to drool … [read full article]
