At this point, we have had fairly good indications that the HTC HD2 would hit on March 24th and that was further boosted by a story from Laptopmag yesterday. Thanks to the good folks at LetsTalk who are (perhaps accidentally) confirming the March 24th, date as the available-to-order date. That is the first time we have seen a reliable “source” as in a retailer discuss the release date. Well actually, it is … [read full article]

The Dell Mini 10 has finally found Mr. Blurrycam and he has been kind enough to grace us with four shots of the first T-Mobile 3G netbook. There is nothing earth shattering or out of the ordinary here except for the T-Mobile branded stickers and T-Mobile branded box. I am definitely digging that white and black color combination. Expected to drop March 24th at a sub-$200 price, this puppy packs a 10.1 inch LED … [read full article]
Update: A bunch of pics showing the multimedia functions of the HD2 have been added. The only missing piece here is the e-reader which our source said is just asking to be updated. Update 2: Thanks to Marc over at Laptop Mag, we are closer to confirming the March 24th launch date and the $199.99 price point. It’s obviously what we’ve been expecting this whole time. Of course, they also note that the HD2 will NOT … [read full article]

When Motorola rolled out the Cliq back in October, a sales pamphlet was one of the first things to show up in the wild after the announcement. Motorola has released yet another sales guide allowing T-Mobile employees an opportunity sell the Cliq XT in 60 seconds. While that’s a pretty tall order for any salesperson, Motorola is breaking down the highlights of the Cliq XT’s features and giving you all the reasons to buy. Of … [read full article]
At this point, the round robin release date game for the HTC HD2 is getting a little tired and we should preface this post by saying we can’t confirm this info. We were confident of a March 24th release date after the leaked retail slide. After that, a leaked Blockbuster Video press release also stating March 24th, further verified the leaked slide info. Then, of course, we had a little birdie whispering in our … [read full article]
We’re guessing our invite somehow got lost in the mail, perhaps a misspelled email address, but the folks at Engadget received an invite to the above-pictured launch event. We’re talking about an invite only HTC HD2 launch party in NYC on the 16th of March. T-Mobile is continuing their emphasis on the HTC HD2 being a multimedia powerhouse, even using “a larger than life entertainment powerhouse” as a tagline. Yes, we’re all sticking with the … [read full article]

Michael Oryl, the top dog over at Mobileburn.com, got his hands on a webConnect Rocket over the past month and took it for a spin on T-Mobile’s Philadelphia HSPA+ network. As expected, he came away pretty impressed with the range of test speeds. In optimal conditions, it peaked at speeds well above current offerings. Using the webConnect Rocket in an area of a “reported good, but far from perfect signal”, he hit download speeds … [read full article]
