T-Mobile Changes Price Point Of Upcoming 10GB Data Plan

Just days after we grabbed a screenshot of the upcoming changes to the webConnect price points, T-Mobile has gone and done a little revamping.

We’re a little disappointed by this change and can’t for the life of us understand the reasoning unless T-Mobile did … [read full article]

My Take On A Sprint/T-Mobile Merger/Acquisition/Buyout/Sale/Purchase/Transaction/

While I like to jokingly consider myself T-Mobile’s number one fan, it’s hard to argue that its position in the wireless marketplace is looking good. After a disappointing fourth quarter in 2010, we’re back today with yet another round of rumors and tech talk regarding a potential deal with Sprint. Only this time, things are a little different since, as Bloomberg reported earlier, Sprint would actually be the buyer this time. I’ve watched many of your … [read full article]

And while I hope for a Nokia revival in the … [read full article]

Yesterday, I posted a quick comment on Twitter regarding a number of emails I received regarding Blackberry 9700 users notifications they received from Desktop Manager that version 6.0.0.448 was available.
