Let’s be honest, the most coveted phone processor out there (right now) is the Snapdragon processor. It is advancing smartphones past their cell phone cousins and putting them closer to netbooks. Currently, you can get your hands on this beautiful piece of silicon if you get yourself a Nexus One. If you are in to waiting, then you know the HTC HD2 also features this very same processor and it will soon grace us … [read full article]
It is always a sad day when a popular phone is killed off, and it appears that RIMs Blackberry 8900 is the next phone to be discontinued. T-Mobile has said that the 8900 has “reached the end of it’s life cycle.” Well, that was blunt of them. Let’s just look towards the future, and hope for an 8910 in the future, a Pearl 9100 wouldn’t be bad either. Honestly, I think this is RIMs … [read full article]
This is kind of a good news, bad news (well, mediocre) post. Good News: anyone with a MyTouch should be getting an over the air update. Bad News: this isn’t Android 2.1, or even 2.1. Instead, this update is to make sure that you get a nice little notification for missed calls. Not a huge update, but important nonetheless. If you are getting this update, or just have some thoughts on the matter, sound off in the … [read full article]
For those of you with an Android phone, you may have found it a bit difficult to sync any, and all, media to your phone (especially if you are tied into that iTunes ecosystem). Well, T-Mobile really understands that and is embarking on a campaign to bring an app that syncs media to Android phones. The answer, DoubleTwist, which is basically an iTunes for every other device, plus it looks like it so no relearning. … [read full article]
First, reread the title… no, you are not crazy and neither am I. For once (or so it seems) a US bound headset is actually going to be better than that of it’s brother from across the pond. In this case, we are talking about the HTC HD2. The T-Mobile bound version will be getting a nice jump in ROM (from 512 MB to 1 GB), a jump in RAM (from 448 MB to 576 MB) … [read full article]
In an interesting turn of events (and some expert sleuth work), another Motorola Android device has been confirmed to be T-Mobile USA bound. Reportedly, the device in question is the Sholes Tablet, or the Motoroi. The phone was seen waltzing around the FCC with ID IHDP56KC6 (certified for quadband EDGE plus T-Mobile-friendly 1700 / 2100MHz HSPA with a peak of 10.2Mbps down and 5.6Mbps up), bluetooth, GPS, Magnetic Compass, WiFI and a 1390 mAH … [read full article]
In a change of pace, something is actually released early, kind of. The last we heard, the official T-Mobile release of Windows Mobile 6.5 would be on January 20th (along with a laundry list of other happenings). It seems, though, that the link for the direct download has been leaked. This update is for the Dash 3G and Touch Pro 2. Just head on over to the link, enter in your IMEI, wait, … [read full article]
We have been hearing a lot about the soon to be released Limited Edition MyTouch 3G with Fender lately, and now there is even more. The wood grain finish, 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a 16GB microSD card with preloaded content have been known for some time, but we now know what will be on the card. It all starts with a new commercial featuring Eric Clapton and the Fender MyTouch. From there you will get … [read full article]
We keep hearing about this Limited Edition MyTouch 3G, and there are now in the wild shots of the wood covered wonder. The HTC made, Fender collaborated, Android phone isn’t much of an upgrade to the MyTouch by only adding a 3.5mm headphone jack, wood grain finish and some preloaded content on a 16GB microSD card. It looks like this phone will be polished and ready for it’s first gig on January 20th (so you … [read full article]
Let this be a lesson, always read the fine print. Google imposed a $350 early termination fee if you cancel your plan with the Nexus One before the first 120 days, and after the first 14 are over (but of course, you should have known this from the leaked pricing and terms and conditions). This Google ETF, an equipment recovery fee in this case, is on top off the $200 ETF from T-Mobile. So yeah, … [read full article]
