“Search Restaurants” Or Take Advantage Of T-Mobile’s JUMP! Upgrade

I kind of like this one, and it’s an all too familiar story before the days of Siri and Google Now. I’ve seen some mixed reviews and sure, Bill Hader is no Carly, but I think they are on the right path with these commercials. It’s a familiar, comedic face and that’s a good thing.

Motorola VP: Moto X Developer Editions “Rolling Out In Days”

  I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t still disappointed that T-Mobile didn’t pick up its own “branded” edition of the Moto X. I’ve been using an AT&T model for the past 10 days or so and…I love it.

Then there’s the … [read full article]

T-Mobile’s SIM Unlock Policy Changes Begin Tomorrow, August 24th

You’ll have to excuse the Mr Blurry-cam shot, but some changes to T-Mobile’s SIM unlock policy are set for tomorrow.
