Here We Go Again, T-Mobile and iPhone Rumors Persist

Another day, another rumor.  Yesterday we heard about merging with Sprint, but what about surpassing them?  Well, it is very possible that that could happen if this particular rumor came true.  It’s not the first time we have been on this roller coaster, but yet another analyst says the iPhone is coming to T-Mobile.  Tee Examiner’s source says “There were talks about it, then strong rumors. Then, there were problems with the carrier. But … [read full article]

(UPDATED)Official T-Mobile G2 Images Surface

G2 fans, get excited.  Seriously though, this is important.  What’s as good as live shots?  That’s right, press shots that happen to be on T-Mobile’s servers.  This really puts the nail in the coffin if you ask me, though that is a bit grim (we are looking for positive here).  This phone is in fact coming soon, and does it look great? I think so! Aside from that, all looks good and clear (stock … [read full article]

HSPA+ Expands Some More

It has been a while, but T-Mobile is lightning up HSPA+ all over the place again.  The latest editions include Boston, Mass.; Erie, Penn.; Fresno, Palm Springs and San Diego, Calif.; Miami, Fla.; Richmond, Va.; Spokane, Wash.; and Topeka, Kan.  (I know that there is one TmoNews editor that will be happy to here about Miami’s HSPA+ coverage.) Additionally, just as we anticipated with our leak back in July, Magenta will further upgrade its … [read full article]

More Goodies Found In Leaked T-Mobile G2 Build

Of course, you remember that leaked G2 ROM.  It did just leak a couple of days ago.  Anyway, some brave souls have taken the time to flash their (rooted) devices with the leaked ROM and come across some interesting finds.  Namely, there are some included Apps and Widgets that definitely mark this as a T-Mobile phone, but we knew that already.  Up above is the G2’s noteworthy welcome screen, making sure to note the … [read full article]

Possible Blackberry 9300 Release Date

File this in the rumor category, but we think we have nailed down a release date for the follow up to the Blackberry Curve.  Dubbed the Blackberry Curve 3G, this latest edition to the T-Mobile Blackberry lineup will surely please those who aren’t looking for a high end Blackberry sooner, rather than later.  Our trusty sources say to expect this little number on September 8th.  So mark your calendars since that date is fast approaching.  … [read full article]

T-Mobile G2 ROM, What IS Actually Inside Edition

You have probably noticed that the latest news in the G2 saga is this whole leaked ROM deal.  Well, some time has passed and some secrets are being divulged by people that know their way around ROMs (namely, not me).  Well, you smart people have certainly found some interesting tidbits hidden inside which definitely make the G2 stand out.  First, the pixel density is 240 PPI, which shapes up to a screen resolution of 800×480 … [read full article]

HTC Device Passes FCC

Ah yes, the FCC, outing another phone and destroying all sorts of secrets.  The HTC PC10100, as it is referred to, passed today with 802.11n WiFi, AWS and HSPA+, which makes it almost a sure thing that it is T-Mobile bound.  Chances are, this is the G2 that we are all expecting (just another month or so!), but it could always be something else.  Enough teasing, let’s get to the real leaks … [read full article]

T-Mobile to Hear (Dell) Thunder?

In an interesting turn of events, it appears that T-Mobile may be getting the Dell Thunder as well as the Dell Lightning. Both have similar specs, but the Thunder is an Android based phone while the Lightning is a Windows 7 Phone.  Engadget, though, was able to get their hands on two early prototype Thunder units.  Apparently the hardware they have doesn’t quite match the test apps that can be found on the device.  It appears that … [read full article]

LG, Android, T-Mobile; Connecting the Dots

Now let’s be clear, everything that follows is, for the time being, speculation, but when the seemingly random placement of dots are connected, they sure do make a pretty picture.  LG and T-Mobile have not had a great relationship in the past, neither has LG and smartphones for that matter.  It has taken a while for LG to offer up some phones on T-Mobile, and their offerings were weak at best.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m … [read full article]

All Square with the Charm

T-Mobile had a big day on Twitter, teasing and announcing two new Android phones.  While most of us will enjoy the first tease, the second announcement should please some.  The elusive Motorola Charm has been officially tweeted, which I guess is as good as an announcement, with a launch date and a coming soon page.  You can pick this little guy up on August 25th for $75, which seems reasonable.  Now that we … [read full article]
