When I decided to write a mini opinion/editorial on the news that T-Mobile is suing Aio Wireless over the use of Magenta, I honestly didn’t expect such a strong response. I’m not sure why anyone believed I was writing it from the perspective of a legal analyst, I’m no more … [read full article]
Concerned about using your credit card with the Sony Entertainment Network or the PlayStation store after the company’s recent bout of hacker attacks? Some good news then as they’ve launched carrier billing through T-Mobile (and AT&T but forget about them). Unfortunately you can’t use carrier billing with the PlayStation Vita but I suppose two out of three services is good enough to start. I’m hopeful this new carrier billing feature will extend to PlayStation 4 when it launches … [read full article]

As a long time fan of T-Mobile, I’ve supported T-Mobile through thick and thin, acquisition rumors, AT&T buyout attempts and quarter after quarter of disappointing financials.

That’s not a lot to go on, but for an introductory smartphone I … [read full article]
T-Mobile is ready to defend its “famous Magenta color trademark” once again as a new lawsuit is filed against AT&T’s Aio Wireless prepaid carrier.

According to Law360, T-Mobile filed the lawsuit last Friday in a US District Court in Texas.

Like all good rumors, we should take this with the standard “subject to change” warning but my sources suggest this could be iPhone related.

For a long time I’ve wanted to get my hands on an Android smartphone that is the right combination of size and specs. Many might (and will) argue that the Moto X doesn’t hold up on paper to the Galaxy S 4 and HTC One, but in my real-world experience it’s just as good. It remains very unfortunate that, for whatever reason, T-Mobile has decided not to offer, at least initially, the Moto X through their … [read full article]
