T-Mobile Unlikely To Sell iPhone In Near Future, Will Combat With Android

Speaking at an investor relations meeting, T-Mobile stated that they were unlikely to carry the iPhone anytime in the near future.  Perhaps the biggest issue is the use of the 1700Mhz 3G band acting as a major barrier to selling the iPhone.  T-Mobile is, of course, open to selling the iPhone, however the T-Mobile CEO explained that the chipset is the major roadblock. “We’re not part of the chipset today.  But we have chipsets which support 5 … [read full article]

Sidekick Settlement Over 2009 Outage Brings Goodies

October 2009 was a time for Sidekick owners that likely still haunts their dreams and makes them shudder at the thought.  Well, maybe not that serious, but the data outage that occurred during that time caused Sidekick owners quite a lot of grief and downtime, not to mention lost data.  Finally, a settlement has been reached between Danger, Microsoft and T-Mobile regarding the “data service interruption”. Those who were part of the class action lawsuit … [read full article]

T-Mobile To Focus On HSPA+ Till 2013, Then LTE?

Let me preface this post with a quick beginning as there is reason to consider that T-Mobile rolling out an LTE network may or may not happen.  This isn’t set in stone and is likely to change.  There is nothing concrete being said or proof that it is 100% going to happen, especially when considering something that is more than two years away.
