Editorial: Why T-Mobile Should And Will Deploy LTE (The Technical Edition)
In the comments of the article about the analyst positing $9 billion for LTE deployment, many people were puzzled on why everyone is so focused on T-Mobile needing to deploy LTE. The obvious marketing answer is that everyone else has it, so T-Mobile needs to be competitive and deploy it to be able to say that they've got it too. By itself, that is an incredibly...

We've heard rumors of T-Mobile preparing an in-home solution for signal boosters for almost as long as we have been doing this website.

Well that knowledge in mind... Read more » T-Mobile No Longer Blocking Video Chat On The Nexus S
If we can try and think back to the whole 'T-Mobile is blocking video chat on the Nexus S' story which stormed the internet for all of 15 minutes and turned out to be an engineering problem, remember that? It's been solved thankfully and now Nexus S users are enjoying video chat's over 3G to their hearts content, or at least their data allotment limits. We've got...

Tip of the hat to the boys at This is my next as they just scored what they believe is a 2011 device lineup for T-Mobile. I guess the Samsung Hercules was just the tip of the iceberg for them today as they've uncovered some of the blanks we've been searching for ourselves through the end of 2011. We're going to follow their lead and do a month by month breakdown... Read more » (Updated: Engineering Problem!) T-Mobile Blocking 3G Video Chat On Nexus S/G-Slate
Update: As it turns out the folks over at AndroidPolice had already discovered this problem a few days back and the trouble is due to engineering resource constraints. Due to such engineering constraints T-Mobile blocks the specialized P2P mode that Google uses to connect video chats. Nexus S owners have been hit with some disappointing news with the arrival of... Read more » T-Mobile Readying Microcell In Home Solution?
With T-Mobile focusing so much attention on providing in home coverage solutions via Wi-Fi there has been little talk, at least that has been made public about a Microcell solution. While T-Mobile's loyalty team has been beta testing Cel-Fi units that are designed to boost signals in the home a widespread rollout has yet to occur. As it turns out a recent...

The Motorola CHARM has been discounted from $269.99 to $199.99, and the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G with 3.5mm Jack has been discounted from $399.99 to $299.99. The discount applies to all colors...

Well, this is interesting! Back at Mobile World Congress, LG stated that the LG Optimus Pad (known in the USA as the T-Mobile G-Slate) would not have a glasses-free 3D display, and instead it would require a separately sold pair of 3D glasses to properly watch 3D content on the tablet. For the record, this pair of glasses will be the famed Red and Blue variant you... Read more » Listening In To The AT&T Investor Call On T-Mobile
We've been listening to the AT&T Press Event this morning regarding the AT&T/T-Mobile agreement and it's a doozy. First and foremost, let's be real clear. AT&T is going after T-Mobile spectrum in a big way. Complementing AT&T's own 700 MHz LTE spectrum with T-Mobile's 1700 MHz AWS frequency will help AT&T deploy LTE to 95% of the... Read more »
