Oh No! Nationwide Outage

UPDATE 1: As of 9:30pm est approximately only 5% of users are still experiencing a service disruption. The rapid response team which really equates to Catherine Zeta Jones flying from tower to tower is on the job. UPDATE 2: Please do not overload T-Mobile customer care regarding this issue, they are swamped, overloaded and they have as much information as you do!! Give them a break! Apparently, a nationwide voice outage is plaguing some users today.  This outage seems to be … [read full article]

Project Dark, Again

Sunday is a big day in T-Mobileland, and while the company is trying to keep things from leaking, that is very hard to do in today’s world.  What we have here is further, clearer and more detailed confirmation of the rate plans accompanying Project Dark.  As it is, though, we are considering these rumors, so have your daily dose of salt.  Of course, maybe T-Mobile is trying to keep people in the dark by printing out false information … [read full article]

Remember that N900?  What am I kidding, of course you do.  While there is no official word regarding its arrival to T-Mobile, we do have further confirmation that the N900 runs on T-Mobile’s 3G network.  Yes, oh yes, the Nokia has that mythical 1700 MHz band that we like to see.  Anyways, this thing has a 2.26 Mb/s download, 0.34 Mb/s upload and a  ping time of 174 ms.  In case you were wondering, … [read full article]

Giant Dessert Delivery: Eclair Edition

Google, in a move that will surely raise more questions than answers, has decided to add another sweet treat to their Android lawn.  This time around they have added a giant Eclair, which just so happens to be the name of Android 2.0.  Sure, there have been rumors of Eclair being delayed, plus Donut just came out a couple of weeks ago, but a large dessert on Google’s lawn must mean something for the … [read full article]

Cliq Reviews Galore

The preorder date is just around the corner, and the first batch of in depth reviews, of the T-Mobile bound Motorola Cliq, are rolling in.  A quick run down would be that Blur looks good, but the battery life in the Cliq is very poor as a product of Blur, if you happen to have a bunch of friends updating their statuses (ironic).  Overall, the phone seems to be fairing, well, so so, with some … [read full article]

Sidekick Outage ’09: A Resolution

While we have been following the recent Sidekick data outage rather closely, there seems to still be some loose ends.  Well, with this, T-Mobile hopes to knot everything up and bring everything back into a circle.  In addition to a free month of service, Sidekick customers will also be receiving a $100 gift card.  They are also saying that some more data may be salvaged (but I wouldn’t be holding out for that).  Can we just … [read full article]

Blackberry 9700 Party

tmo-9700-invite

It seems like we already know everything we need to about the Blackberry 9700 (T-Mobile just thinks we don’t).  T-Mobile, in an effort to entice more corporate customers, has started issuing various invites to a special Blackberry event about a phone with WiFi enabled calling.  I don’t know about you, but I am stumped on what it could be.  Anyways, I wish I could attend because they are offering up breakfast for attendees (I hope they … [read full article]

Unlocked Galaxy Hits NewEgg

Maybe you are one of those people that has been following the Galaxy ever since it was first conceived, or maybe you are just a tad disappointed with the Behold 2 (which I think looks pretty good).  Well, while it won’t be carrier subsidized, you can pick up an unlocked Samsung Galaxy from Newegg.  The nice part, this unlocked phone should work on T-Mobile’s 3G network (crazy, right?).  Anyways, if the Galaxy … [read full article]
