Radio Shack Profits Affected By Low T-Mobile Sales

Reuters early morning report on the quarterly earnings of Radio Shack highlighted the weakness in the earnings based partially on T-Mobile sales. “RadioShack gave up a lot of compensation from AT&T and Sprint to carry T-Mobile, and this partnership doesn’t appear to be panning out the way management expected,” RBC Capital Markets analyst Scot Ciccarelli said last week. 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 Unveiling New $39.99 2GB Plan This Thursday?

We’ve just been tipped that T-Mobile is set to roll out another plan option to their Mobile Broadband price lineup with the addition of a 2GB data plan for $39.99.

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.

T-Mobile G2X Gingerbread Update Coming, Won’t Be A Long Wait

T-Mobile certainly dropped an Easter egg (no pun intended to those who celebrate today) when asked by a new G2X owner on Twitter regarding Gingerbread. 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]

TmoNews Reviews The Sidekick 4G

When I received the Sidekick 4G in the mail from T-Mobile, I wondered what T-Mobile hoped to accomplish with the Sidekick line. Several years ago, when the news originally broke that the Sidekick line was being killed off, existing users and ardent supporters of the fabled Sidekick line were understandably upset. The data outage that plagued the Sidekick brand back in October of 2009 was the straw that broke the camel’s back. There was no way that … [read full article]

T-Mobile G2X Takes Screenshots Right Out Of The Box?

For the Android faithful one of the most noticeable absences on the Android platform is also one of the most overlooked. The ability to take screenshots on an Android device is something most users will find themselves rooting the device in order to add that feature along with the other benefits of rooting. Rooting your phone just to take screenshots isn’t’ likely to be worth the overall root unless you  plan on enjoying your root for other … [read full article]

Choice Quotes From The AT&T And T-Mobile FCC Public Interest Filing

After taking some time and reading the full Public Interest Filing AT&T and T-Mobile filed yesterday, I’ve put together a metric TON of choice quotes from the document to give some perspective. To preface these quotes, some of them require context (and I therefore urge you to read the whole filing found at the link at the end of the post) but in the interest of time and energy, I’ve tried to choose quotes that are self-explanatory. … [read full article]
