Sales at Radio Shack retail stores fell by 0.6% in the first quarter with the company pointing the finger … [read full article]

T-Mobile Temporarily Suspends Bobsled Service?

In a somewhat shocking and yet quiet announcement T-Mobile said through the Bobsled Facebook page they have “temporarily suspended” the Bobsled service. Hinting toward a possible conflict with Facebook over design questions and an assurance that Bobsled is “clearly differentiated” as something that is not an official Facebook property. Bobsled users, are there any out of you there? While this was quite the leap for T-Mobile into the Facebook realm, other than a single press … [read full article]

(Updated) HTC DoubleShot Confirmed As Qwerty Slider?

Update: Nick from HTCSource just made an interesting observation whereas the original myTouch Slide has a 600MHz processor and the “Double”Shot is alleged to have a 1.2 GHz processor.

As you can see in the above pic, T-Mobile stated Gingerbread will be coming “soon” and that you “won’t have to wait long.” Big words from the company and we hope that they and LG are prepared to make it happen “soon.” Of course, nobody knows what the T-Mobile definition of … [read full article]
