Details on this upcoming change are still coming in, but our source has it that the web2go interface, specifically for Touchwiz devices is set to get a makeover. Therefore, Memoir and Behold owners should definitely keep reading. Our source pegs this as a change to the “homepage deck” and not to the browser itself, unfortunately. Having said that, the side note here is that Behold/Memoir owners who have yet to discover the html “hack” [read full article]
Well its been a while since we’ve last seen T-mobile make any major changes to data plans and last time we got pretty much a total overhaul. Well, apparently 7 months was long enough and its time for a little revamp. Boygenius just ran a story about the Family Text Message changing from $19.99 to $24.95 a month. While still lower than the competition, in … [read full article]
I’m not even really sure where to begin with this story, other than to say yesterday saw quite a bit of back and forth regarding who will actually manufacturer the rumored G1 V.2. Reports yesterday actually pegged Motorola as the device manufacturer, marking their first entry into the Android marketplace. Turns out, that wasn’t exactly true. The next guess … [read full article]
Courtesy of the boys at Boygenius last week we got a glimpse at the Walmart T-mobile 2009 lineup, with a number of phones previously unknown or known and yet to be named.

I’m not really sure what the swell of news regarding the Wing being removed from T-mobile.com is all about, we’re still well over a month away from the launch of the Touchpro2.

While this isn’t the first time we’ve gotten wind of a Blackberry codenamed “Driftwood,” our friends at Boygenius are running with two “sources” who are “confirming” this device for T-mobile in September. Hopefully, rumored to be the first 3G Blackberry device, this should hopefully introduce a little more excitement than the Gemini and its lacking feature set. Rumored specs include the … [read full article]
Well this is the exact kind of news that brightens up the day for me when I blog! Cole Brodman, T-mobile USA CTO recently spoke to Om Malik at his blog GigaOM and had this to say about Android and T-mobile: “We are looking to launch multiple Android-based devices in the second half of this year with three partners.” Ok, that sounds good to me, anyone else have a complaint about multiple manufacturers producing Android equipment?!

I think its a safe to say that all of us are fairly familiar with the standard My-Tmobile homescreen and the various features and services it can provide. With that in mind, change is coming in the form of the above screenshot showing the revamped MyTmobile page set to launch May 24th.
