You might notice a new look around TmoNews this morning and, of course, you aren’t dreaming. We did a little work on the site last night. We’ve cleaned up a little and, hopefully, you like what you see. It is very very much a work in progress as I still hope to change, adopt and experiment with new features in the coming weeks and months. Most important though is the addition of the Disqus comment system to … [read full article]
So many of us discount Blackberry these days thinking they have fallen so far behind in the smartphone game they might never be able to catch up. The Blackberry 9780, launching today is a lot more evolutionary than revolutionary but perhaps the old adages “if it isn’t broke don’t fix it” applies well. The Blackberry 9700, predecessor to the 9700 was a rock, just an ultra reliable smartphone following the typical Blackberry mold. Blackberry may … [read full article]
Today, T-Mobile announced that it is teaming up with the other two major U.S carriers, AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless to bring Isis, a mobile payment system to customers. Isis will use near-field communication (NFC) based technology to allow smartphone owners to use their handsets as a form of payment, thus replacing the need to carry around credit cards or even cash. Currently, there are no NFC enabled smartphones on the market, but one is coming very soon. … [read full article]
The Samsung Vibrant remains one of the most popular (and attractive) devices in the T-Mobile lineup and what’s a popular phone with a beautiful screen without a dock? T-Mobile retail stores we’ve been told have begun receiving docks for use with the Vibrant as of yesterday. The dock, priced at $39.99 will act as a desktop speakerphone, charge your phone, provide a great angle for media viewing and it’ll automatically select the “dock” feature when you … [read full article]
Magenta is coming out swinging yet again with another shot at the AT&T network. I have to say I am loving the new marketing approach and there is one moment in the commercial where the AT&T “person” revs the bicycle and it just cracks me up. Though I have to ask, how many people are just watching these commercials for Carly? Come on…be honest. YouTube
Update: Due to what can only be described as a freak lightning storm, we held off on the move and will try again this evening, November 16th! Just a quick note as the site undergoes a little maintenance tonight, it’ll be down for about an hour and then back with some small changes to the look! Most importantly, we’re re-implementing Disqus to add a little extra flavor to the comment system! We’ll see you on the … [read full article]
I have to admit a little Blackberry envy for the first time in I don’t know, a long time as I watch Aaron unbox the Blackberry 9780. Perhaps it’s just a little sentimental value for the Blackberry of old when BBM rocked my fingertips and I used to have a Transformers theme right after the first movie came out. Yeah, I did, I admit it, I was proud of my Bumblebee theme. While the Bold … [read full article]
Oh snap and I was just a minute late loading up the live stream and missing Google CEO Eric Schmidt showing off a Nexus S device. The most important part of this? This as of yet “unannounced” Nexus S device was clearly running on the T-Mobile network! Boom, Nexus S! Any questions? Engadget
I don’t know about you, but I really don’t like the ‘F’ word, that word being fragmentation of course. How do we keep from saying such a bad word? Updates of course, and T-Mobile has us covered on that front. For those G2 users, your update for Wi-Fi calling and HotSpot should be done, and if not, it will be coming very soon. An update for the myTouch 4G is also expected shortly, which … [read full article]
Right now the HTC HD7 and the myTouch4G could arguably be considered the two hottest devices on the T-Mobile network. Thanks to the boys at Wirefly who’ve compiled almost 14 minutes comparing many many aspects of the two devices. If you are torn between the two devices it’s definitely worth watching and even if you are just a phone connoisseur, it’s still worth watching. While the Android platform certainly has its share of backers … [read full article]
