T-Mobile CEO Philip Humm and the CEO of LG met on stage at the T-Mobile CES 2011 Press Event and showed off…the LG G-Slate. Well, more like they held it in their hands and let the “rest of us” wonder what hides behind that black exterior as we snapped away image after image. If you’ve seen the promising albeit lacking preview video, you have an idea of what to expect and these images will serve … [read full article]
Editor’s Note: I know the camera work is a little shaky, I had to do a balancing act with my laptop and taking notes so I’m sorry it’s not the best! T-Mobile showed off a little bit of their upcoming 42Mbps HSPA+ network by doing exactly what I would do to test it and that is to download an album and play a video game. Honestly, if you’re a computer gaming person, the frame rates in the … [read full article]
While there was certainly a lot to look forward to coming out of the T-Mobile announcement in terms of data speeds, the most important point was that T-Mobile will not raise data plans for 4G usage. T-Mobile said unequivocally that they don’t believe they need to charge a “premium or “toll” for 4G use. This is great news, just great news as other carriers plan tiered pricing structures for use with their upcoming 4G networks. It’s reasons … [read full article]
It’s hard to get a real “hands on” with a device at an event like CES when everyone around you is clamoring for the same shots you want. Still, we spent a few minutes with the Dell Streak 7 and it is impressive. I don’t often use the words “impressive” and “Dell” in the same sentence but right off the bat this thing is faaaaast! The touch screen was responsive and Vibrant and there was no … [read full article]
My camera work isn’t the best as I tried to balance my laptop and camera but Carly, Magenta’s current marketing campaign tool, is on stage. Showing off one of the current myTouch4G commercials, Carly previews the next commercial that will air on television shortly. Seriously though, you don’t want to read any more, you just want to watch.
Fresh from the T-Mobile announcement at CES, Magenta has officially announced its plans for 2011. T-Mobile states that it plans to launch at least 25 new 4G devices in 2011 (just as we expected), beginning with its first 4G tablet, the Dell Steak 7. T-Mobile plans to launch several smartphones with HSPA+ 21 Mbps compatible in the first half, and HSPA+ 42 Mbps compatible smartphones in the second half of 2011. The Dell Streak 7 which will be HSPA+ 21Mbps compatible, … [read full article]

The LG G-Slate and LG Optimus 2X would arguably be among the most exciting devices to launch on the T-Mobile network and we just might see both devices arrive in late March/early April according to our sources. We haven’t been able to pinpoint an exact date but our sources are confident we should see both devices around that timeframe possibly with an extra surprise built into the LG Tablet. We aren’t exactly sure what this … [read full article]
In the heat of all the videos released by T-Mobile yesterday regarding the LG G-Slate, I had hoped to post this first look at Android 3.0 Honeycomb along with them. If you follow our Twitter stream you’ll know Wi-Fi signals out here are at a premium so this video kind of got lost in the mix but if you’ve been following Android 3.0 this video is worth a look! If you’ve been looking for a … [read full article]

We’ll be there live and ready to “live” blog all the announcements so long as the wifi holds up. We’ll be doing constant updates via our Twitter stream and major announcements will hit the blog page immediately with gaps filled in after the … [read full article]
Well look what we have here… finally some real confirmation. First came the leaks back in December, then it passed the FCC with AWS bands, then a (possible) release date, and now it looks like it’s about time to be unveiled. Does this mean we’re going to see the Dell Streak 7 announced at Thursday morning’s T-Mobile Press conference? We’ll be there covering it live at 11am PST.
While the original Motorola Cliq never matched the success of the Droid series, it had its share of followers. Motorola is back with the Cliq 2 and we spent some time with the device this evening and came away reasonably impressed. The 1GHZ processor was certainly able to throw everything I could at it and didn’t seem to slow down. There were a few moments where my clicks didn’t register on the screen but I could chalk … [read full article]
