Motorola And Magenta Marrying On September 10th?

Sascha Segan over at PC Mag (via Gearlog) has posted up an interesting theory on why he feels the Motorola event will be a T-mobile based launch. Through the simple process of elimination, Sascha explains one of the standout reasons. One of the keynote speakers is our dear overlord, T-mobile CTO Cole Brodman. Other factors such as details that Verizon and Sprint are either stating to be missing the event altogether, and with AT&T playing coy, all … [read full article]

Blackberry 8520 Dressed In White

Perhaps I just have an affinity for white phones as I feel white just looks sleeker and more streamlined. I know others will believe black offers the very same effect but hey, I’m writing this! 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]

Palm Springs Goes 3G

Well it didn’t take very long to get another 3G city on the map for T-mobile with the announcement that Palm Springs, California has gone live. Once called home by Frank Sinatra Palm Springs is a city that one might envision lifestyles of the rich and famous and now with 3G services, even the most pampered celebrity can enjoy voice and data at the same time! This year is blowing by and … [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]

Reminder: Overage Charges Increasing

rising-rates

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]

The New and Improved Tmonews

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. Really, it’s all gray now. In an effort to stem the anger and frustration I have experienced and the readers have endured we have decided to accelerate some of our plans for the unveiling of the “new” Tmonews. Dust will be prevalent for the coming days as … [read full article]

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]
