Okay, Okay, so it’s not an actual shot clock, but the FCC has stopped it anyways. The backstory is that the FCC normally gives 180 days to complete merger reviews, and they just stopped the T-Mobile and AT&T one at 83 days. Stopping it isn’t a big deal, it has been done before, but the reason is very important. In this case, they are stopping it to allow AT&T time to rework their economic model. … [read full article]
Another hour, another phone gets the leaked Gingerbread treatment. If you remember correctly, not too long ago some T-mobile G2 warranty replacement devices were being delivered with Gingerbread. Now, that same build can be downloaded to your very own G2. Sure, it has it’s share of bugs (they all do), and there will be an official update later, but this will surely pass the time. Hit the source link for the download … [read full article]

Oh, and you’ll be able to find the black one at Walmart and Sam’s Club. Any takers?!

Life’s Good, especially if you have a G2X right now. No, the G2X Gingerbread update is not coming OTA right now (just wait) but you can download Gingerbread for your G2X right now. What you’ll need is a data cable, a Windows computer, your G2X and this LG Updater. Should be quite simple. I can understand if you want to wait for an official announcement and OTA update from T-Mobile, but … [read full article]
In short, AT&T had an earnings report today and had a few statements regarding the process of the merger. Wayne Watts, of AT&T, told those listening in that they are still confident that the merger will be approved by the FCC and DOJ in the first quarter of 2012. Specifically, AT&T “remain[s] confident that [they] can satisfy the FCC and DOJ.” So nothing has really changed. In other news, that’s my favorite picture … [read full article]
If you happen to be one of those people using a Dell Venue Pro on T-Mobile, then you know all to well the problems that plague it. The firmware update that addresses these problems, which is already hitting all other Dell Venue Pros, has now been delayed until next week. Just hold on, and maybe your phone will update before the G2X. Twitter
Right on the heels of the LG G2X class action lawsuit, LG has finally pitched in with something to say. Unfortunately, their response isn’t really good news. Their statement, issued by an LG moderator at LG Forum, is that: “The official word for the Gingerbread update on G2x is ‘by summer’ and all of the internal discussions thus far have it launching very close to that timeframe. When we receive any updated information we will update … [read full article]
Well that was fast. Not long after Senator Kohl spoke against the merger T-Mobile issues an open letter in response. With a shake of their head and wag of their finger, T-Mobile says they are disappointed and disagree with his analysis. Here is the entire response: “We are disappointed to learn of the position taken by Sen. Kohl on the proposed merger between AT&T and T-Mobile USA. While we have a great deal of respect for Sen. … [read full article]
There’s this very vague report going around about new 42 Mbps smartphones coming to T-Mobile in the second half of this year, made by HTC, LG and Samsung. I’m just going to come right out and say it, “Well, duh!” This should come as no surprise, it’s about as solid of a story as that great Samsung phone from yesterday (which is actually quite solid). With a network that supports 42 Mbps, T-Mobile would … [read full article]
This saga just won’t end, and frankly I’m kind of sick of it. Anyways, Verizon’s COO Lowell McAdam came out saying that he believes the merger will go through, mostly because “AT&T needs the spectrum and is motivated enough to [acquire T-Mobile], and will agree with what the government will want.” So essentially, he thinks that it will go through because AT&T just wants it and had money. I’m still betting on the underdog. … [read full article]
