After years of delays and assorted issues, T-mobile USA finally has rolled out 3G in New York City. We were told it would come out months ago. It didn’t. We were told it would be voice only. It wasn’t. We were told it will be UMTS data. It wont be. Wait, what?! Yep folks, T-mobile’s phase I of their 3G launch involves only UMTS data. However, it looks like plans are to do a little upgrading on … [read full article]
Price questions have been asked and tmonews.com has answered. I’ll let the price comparison do the walking and the talking this time around.
I suppose it would be helpful if we mentioned what phones are currently available and able to take advantage of the FULL Family 4-pack add-on features mentioned earlier? Of course, any myfaves phone will do for 3 of the 4, but if you want the unlimited minutes at home using the router, you’ll need one of their special UMA-enabled phones for each family member that wants those minutes. Currently available phones are: Nokia … [read full article]

Our friends over at BoyGenius have gotten their hands on this little gem, the Blackberry KickStart. Blackberry really has caught up with the times and we can see the anticipation building for this superstar. Sporting a 2 MP camera, Video capture, and customizable skin (Sounds an awful like the Gekko we posted earlier), this one should be a winner. Of course on the “flip” side we have to remember what … [read full article]
We are getting a lot of people asking if the Sidekick Gekko will be a Limited Edition SK, or a be a completely new device. We’ve also been getting questions as to why T-mobile is releasing a Sidekick so soon after the LX came out. Well, we have answers to both these questions and more. First and foremost, the Sidekick Gekko is not a Limited Edition LX (See: Tony Hawk … [read full article]

Don’t everyone get excited about this phone at once! Wait a second…does anyone even care? Well we just bring you the news, and todays news (Besides that 3G thing nobody cares about) is that the Motorola W450 (AKA Salina) is headed to T-mobile. Scheduled to come out near the beginning of August, the W450 really doesn’t offer anything groundbreaking, earth-shattering, or new. With a 1.3 MP camera, no 3G, … [read full article]
Here is the update we promised earlier. It is pretty hard posting from a non-smartphone, and cropping sensitive information out of pictures, so we do apologize for the delay. This is the moment we have all been waiting for. 3G countdown anyone? The list of cities, in order, is as follows: New York (New Jersey/Long Island is no longer on the list) Austin Las Vegas Minneapolis Miami … [read full article]
Thats right T-mobile users, 3G is officially launched in New York on May 1st. Sorry for the lack of details, this is just a quick post on the go. We will have a follow up post in a few hours with some pictures when I have access to a computer. We have the pictures, and we’ll post them up as soon as possible. It is kind of tough to crop out sensitive data from your phone! From … [read full article]
Thats right folks, Tony Hawk uses a Sidekick LX. We haven’t heard about Tony Hawk that much lately, but evidently he is important enough to have his own Sidekick, because coming on July 16th, the Tony Hawk Sidekick LX will be released. All you skater-texters rejoice, because this phone is made for you. We don’t have too many details other then it will be Tony Hawk branded, but we’re guessing the housing will be pretty durable to … [read full article]
After their long “break,” which they spent seeing other wireless providers, T-mobile and Sony Ericsson have finally rekindled their oh-so-hot relationship. Anyone know what this means? No, not quite romantic candles in all of T-mobile’s corporate stores. But we have the second best thing. The Sony Ericsson Bella will launch on T-mobile’s network on July 12th. Woah, a Saturday? The Curve was launched on a Saturday, but if you remember correctly, that was a fairly messy launch. … [read full article]
