Updated: A previous draft stated that T-Mobile was expecting 200,000 pre-orders, that number I’m now being told is the amount of people who have signed up for more information about the pre-order.

New Android Distribution Chart Released As Google Changes To Counting Active Users

We look forward to Google’s Android distribution each month to see just how much growth the newest Android releases gain. Starting in April, we’re going to see a whole different way of keeping track of devices as the developer team announced via Google+. The new device dashboards are based on the devices of users who visit the Google Play Store (rather than devices that have checked-in to Google servers). As a result, the dashboards more accurately … [read full article]

Editorial: A Quick Note From Your Editor (That’s Me) Regarding Coverage

The other is saying post it, rant your little heart out and close off the comment section.

T-Mobile Sending Out Carrier Update Enabling LTE For Unlocked iPhone Devices On April 5th?

Update: As some of you have mentioned, there is no mention of LTE specifically in the body of the image below. Word from our sources is that this carrier update will enable LTE and it makes sense, given that  seven LTE markets are live and a carrier .ipcc update is all that’s required to do so.  As T-Mobile customers using unlocked AT&T or unlocked iPhone devices have had some lingering questions regarding their current device and … [read full article]

T-Mobile Confirms No Lumia 810 LTE Support With Short Statement

After weeks of speculation, most of it unwarranted the issue of LTE inside the Lumia 810 has finally been put to rest. As a number of stories have surfaced in the past few days indicating T-Mobile had indicated the device wasn’t in fact LTE-ready, I decided to do one last check with T-Mobile: While the Nokia Lumia 810 features a chipset, which provides the hardware capability to support both HSPA+42 and LTE, the device will not … [read full article]

Unboxing And First Look At The International Variant Of The HTC One

To say that we’re excited about the HTC One would be putting it mildly, damn near ecstatic would be more appropriate.

We’re hoping to get our hands on a T-Mobile variant very, very soon but in the meantime we sent TodaysiPhone.com Managing Editor Cam Bunton into the British … [read full article]
