With only 5 days remaining until the highly anticipated T-Mobile HTC HD2 launches, the folks over at Wirefly have managed to get their hands on the T-Mobile HTC HD2 and have compiled a nice detailed review. Wirefly also apologizes for the T-Mobile HTC HD2 unboxing video that was posted and then pulled upon T-Mobile’s request. It has been posted again and is now available to the public. So if you didn’t get a chance to see Wirefly’s unboxing, click here. Sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy 15 minutes of pure  HTC HD2 goodness. Leave your thoughts in the comments!

So here we go with another rumor pertaining to the iPhone, T-Mobile and our hopes and dreams for its arrival. Whatever you think about the iPhone, its appearance on the magenta network would certainly give a boost to a fourth place T-Mobile. Deutsche Telekom CEO Rene Obermann hinted in an interview today that the T-Mobile USA branch is indeed hoping to land a deal for the iPhone.  Speaking to the Financial Times CEO Rene Obermann didn’t detail any specifics regarding the talks but hoped to have a deal in place as soon as late 2010 or 2011. Interestingly enough he emphasized that Android would “support the network in the meantime.”

While of course Apple declined comment for the story and never discusses future carrier plans T-Mobile is a likely partner though certainly not the anticipated front-runner. With the largest customer base in America, most expect Verizon to pick up the next iteration of the iPhone though with technology similar to that of AT&T, T-Mobile is a more likely fit. While Android fans on T-Mobile may lament the arrival of the iPhone, there would be little question as to whether or not it could help the T-Mobile USA branch. The iPhone brings the customers as AT&T has discovered with consistent records of customer ads every quarter. With AT&T network troubles prominent in the news and T-Mobile making vast improvements it might be opportune for them to seize on AT&T troubles. For the moment, it’s all rumor and speculation but when the Deutsche Telekom CEO speaks, we listen.

Hmm, here is a bit of interesting news.  Reuters is reporting that T-Mo is trying to find a way to boost its spectrum capacity.  Within this goal, the company is considering forming a joint venture with Clearwire.  According to Robert Dotson, the chief executive of T-Mobile USA, the company is “looking for additional spectrum… there are a number of different options we look at, (we) have been talking with cable companies, with Clearwire,”

The big magenta does not believe the national broadband plan, recently forwarded to congress by the FCC, will be of help in its goal. Dotson also responded to a question about a merger with Sprint, “What you never want to do is take one company that is going through challenges and take another company going through challenges” and put them together. Interestingly, Clearwire is Sprint’s big partner in building out a national WiMax network. T-Mobile has committed to bringing Long Term Evolution to market, a technology which is supposed to compete with WiMax. Because of the differences in next generation technology, I do not really see this happening, but we will have to wait and see.  What do you think?  Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

Warning, shameless promotional plug ahead! The HD2 it isn’t, but our friends at Wirefly have asked for a little help in promoting their Sony Ericsson Equinox giveaway.  I have to admit that I’ve been using this phone steadily over the past few weeks and it’s been a real pleasure to use.  It’s not a smartphone and I’m not under any delusions about what it can do, but what it does do, it does very well.  Their contest is simple.  You enter by posting a comment like “Wirefly is the greatest thing since sliced bread” and you’re entered.  Really, it’s that simple.  So enter, win, and thank Wirefly.

Note: The Upgrade offer is only available through Partner channels, NOT through corporate-owned retail stores!  This makes for two separate BOGO’s, one for corporate retail which is doing new lines only and one for retail partner sales which is doing new lines AND qualifying upgrades.

Quite a few of you took notice of the fact that to participate in the current BOGO promotion running now through the 31^{st ,} you had to be a new customer in order to qualify.  As of yesterday, T-Mobile has gone and done something swell by extending this promotion to eligible upgrade customers now through the 31^st!  Hip hip hooray!  This is a terrific offer and upgrade eligible customers should take advantage of this asap or as soon as the HTC HD2 launches, of course!  Check the details in the image but this is one offer not to pass up!

Update:  There seems to be a bit of confusion as quite a few of you have emailed in stating that the $99.99 price is showing up in your upgrade. However, some of you are also reporting the upgrade price to be $189.99.  We’ll try to get to the bottom of this ASAP!

That’s right, Android fans.  Today is March 17^th, otherwise known as Cliq  XT arrival day.  Unfortunately, though, the news isn’t all sunshine and rainbows as we should have stuck with our gut and believed in the $129.99 price point.  As it turns out, the news we received on the 15^th was inaccurate and the documents we received originally were right all along.  Sigh.

Oh well, for $129.99 you’re still getting a hell of a deal with the Cliq XT and reviews so far have been mostly positive.  A major downside is Android 1.5.  However, we’re sure Motorola and Google aren’t going to let the Cliq XT sit at 1.5 forever.  Expect to see an update down the road sure to breathe new life into an already feature-rich Android device.

So what’s stopping you?  Hit the link below!

Nothing says “buy me” like a glossy advertisement and that’s exactly what T-Mobile is dropping in their stores.  The trifecta of upcoming phones arguably covers the entire gambit of needs for smartphone lovers everywhere.  If you want some Android goodness, the Cliq XT with some MotoBlur window dressing has you covered.  Perhaps you want a touchscreen without all the smartphone frills but with some extra horsepower over that standard flip.  The Nokia Nuron is waiting for you.  Then, of course, there is the prize, the Transformers viewing, E Reading, 4.3-inch screen browsing Windows Phone bad boy.  The HTC HD2 needs no introduction on this blog but I do love watching Transformers over and over and over.  I know it’s a Michael Bay movie but I watch it for the explosions and testing my subwoofer, not the storyline!  Duh!  Anyway, this advertisement is ready for showtime come March 24^th and you can bet T-Mobile is looking for this trifecta of devices to lead their second quarter charge.

Finally, after months of speculation and rumors, rumors and more rumors, the Magenta mothership herself has confirmed the date of launch.  It’s March 24^th.  So get your piggy banks cracked open or beg and plead for money from your Mom but come one week from this very Wednesday, this baby is all yours.  If the price is right.

It’s been a nice run of HTC HD2 posts though up till now, right?

Sound off below!

Thanks Jack!

We’ve been hearing whispers through emails and smoke signals that the Nokia Nuron was indeed facing a short delay to launch.  We can now officially confirm the delay as well as the March 24^th launch date.  Originally slated for the 17^th, we’re not sure what the cause of the delay was and, frankly, since this phone only requires a $10 data plan, we’re willing to wait an extra week.  The pricing details were missing from the launch announcement, but we’re still hearing the $69.99 for 2-year and $179.99 no contract are solid prices.  That $179.99 no contract is a steal.  Want more of the Nuron?  Take a look here and here!
