Reminder To Pre-Order The T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant At Radio Shack And Get A $50 Dollar Gift Card

Update: Since I apparently missed the original posting of this while I was gone, let this post just serve a reminder because prior to posting the above image, I had tried to capture the 7/12 pre-order date with phones shipping 7/15 for those of you who still wanted to take advantage of the gift card.

Garminfone Now $129.99 After Rebate

While the timing of this price drop is likely coincidental considering the reports in recent days regarding the lackluster sales of the Garminfone T-Mobile has dropped the price to $129.99. The real question is will this do anything to boost sales of the Garminfone or is it to little to late? With the Samsung Vibrant on the horizon and with yesterdays rumored leak of the T-Mobile 2H 2010 roadmap the Garminfone looks to … [read full article]

BlackBerry Curve 9300 Overview

The last time we saw the Curve 9300 in action was last month, where it was first spotted with T-Mobile branding. For those that missed the brief hands on video (which had been removed shortly after it had been posted), the guys over at salomondrin.net got their hands on the 9300 and have done a nice little overview of the device. In short, the device seems to be almost exactly the same as the [read full article]

Asustek Says Garminfone Is Selling Perfectly Well Thank You Very Much

In the midst of today’s busy “TmoNews” day, Asustek has come out and refuted reports that the Garminfone isn’t selling well. While they declined to discuss exact numbers, Asustek claimed that the shipments of the phone were selling “as previously planned.” They also claim to have received positive feedback on the device from the marketplace. I guess we can just say, it’s a niche phone and I’m sure those who purchased it had good reason … [read full article]

Is This A Real Leaked T-Mobile Roadmap?

The guys over at Androidspin claim to have been sent, via one of their sources, a leaked T-Mobile roadmap showing off 16 devices coming the Magenta way. Let me just say right now, I don’t know if this is real, it most certainly doesn’t look like the roadmaps I have seen in the past…that’s not to say it’s fake, just saying I’m suspicious of its validity. Which means, for those of you who will inevitably manage to … [read full article]

FCC Approves Motorola MB710, Next Stop T-Mobile

Remember that Motorola handset that passed FCC with AWS goodness in January?
