Still not having luck with your Vibrant’s GPS signal? Don’t worry then, you should know that you aren’t the only one.

We knew it was a rumor all along, but it looks like this rumor just didn’t turn our way. The Dell Mini 5, or Streak, was once thought to support T-Mobile’s 3G network, but probably not supported by T-Mobile (like that good ol’ N900). Dell has said themselves that the Streak “will not be certified for T-Mobile operation overall.” I guess that means that no AWS goodness will be thrown in, EDGE maybe (but … [read full article]
T-Mobile has made it very clear that their strategy is to promote friends and families. What better way is there to stay connected with these friends and families than by using those crazy social networks that the kids seem to love these days.
