HTC HD2 Sold Early?

This certainly isn’t the first instance of pre-release purchasing, but it seems outlandish for  such an anticipated device. This specific phone was purchased from a Walmart a few days in advance.  So, if you have a Walmart nearbyand you can’t stand waiting, then it might be worth the trip (no promises though).  The lucky guy, a former iPhone fan (we stole another one!) going by JDMiPhoner, was kind enough to make/take some video of the device from … [read full article]

A Warning to Nexus One Users

Whatever you do, DO NOT SIT ON YOUR NEXUS ONE.  Wait, it gets more interesting.  Crave UK, who owns the cracked Nexus seen above, swears that it just randomly cracked while charging, but HTC’s technical support is saying “they don’t go in pockets”.  The response states that “putting a phone in a tight pair of jeans and sitting down would usually cause the kind of damage” seen above.  I guess that means you should either carry your … [read full article]

Coverage Maps Being Updated

Starting March 14th, T-Mobile will be making some changes to its coverage map.  While there won’t be any massive, earth-shaking changes going on here (yeah, I’m looking at you, Chile earthquake, that is robbing us of 1.26 microseconds daily), the map will be updated to more accurately reflect voice and data coverage.  First, when you zoom out, you will see the overall coverage.  As you can see, there is a lot of green where people actually live … [read full article]

Moto Cliq XT in T-Mobile Branding

Motorola Cliq XT on T-Mobile

Have you been longing for Moto Blur, but you would really appreciate a thinner device and no keyboard? (GASP! I know, but I fit into that category)  The WiFi equipped, Android 1.5, Blur covered Cliq XT might just be your phone. It is rumored to be launching on March 10th.  While nothing is completely shocking about this phone, I hear there is a secret feature which is quite interesting.  Apparently, the face of the phone outside … [read full article]

My Account Android App Updated

Do you have an Android phone? Do you like viewing your account and changing account settings on the fly?  Then this update it for you.  T-Mobile has updated the App to include two menu icons, My Account and Help, and it now allows you to switch to paperless billing or make payments using previously stored information.  They also added some extra security, making you sign in with your My T-Mobile password or the last 4 digits of … [read full article]

Nexus One 3G Woes, Part 315

This problem just won’t go away.  Even after the latest OTA update, the Nexus One is still having 3G problems.  As you will see in the video above, 3G connectivity changes dramatically just by how the phone is being held.  Now, if you ask me, this certainly doesn’t sound like a T-Mobile 3G problem.  Also, I’m not one to point fingers at a certain Chrome and Buzz-ing company, especially since they have so much power … [read full article]
