Boise, Idaho Now Experiencing 3G Goodness!

Residents of Boise, Idaho are rejoicing!  Thanks to T-Mobile, they are now experiencing 3G goodness!As someone who has had 3G for a while, I sometimes forget that not all of the country has 3G.  Personally, I can’t wait for HSPA+ which T-Mobile is indeed promising.  Currently, HSPA+ is only available in certain markets now.  Get ready for 21Mbps!  Let’s hope it comes soon.

HTC HD2, Nuron And Cliq XT Pricing Cometh

I’m going to let the numbers do most of the talking here so this will be short and sweet.  When T-Mobile originally launched the TouchPro2, it was understandably met by a large number of detractors who were taken back by the $349.99 price.  T-Mobile seemingly took that lesson to heart and this time is introducing their next Windows Phone powerhouse with a much more agreeable price, $199.99 after rebate.  At the moment, we can’t verify … [read full article]
