With a thirty-second YouTube clip, T-Mobile is showing the before and after voice quality using HD Voice. The difference is obviously noticeable given that the advertisement is straight from T-Mobile, but there’s little question that HD Voice won’t make at least a small improvement on the Galaxy S III, HTC One S and Nokia … [read full article]

According to smartphone ninja tipster @evleaks, T-Mobile may be the only nationwide carrier to pass on the launch of HTC’s upcoming M7 handset. Let’s be clear however and add that the Twitter account only adds that there is no evidence for T-Mobile — but that doesn’t mean T-Mobile is going to be the last one standing at the dance. “Lacking evidence” isn’t a sure thing, and while its still possible T-Mobile won’t carry HTC’s newest flagship device, … [read full article]
