It’s only been a few days since the recent round of rumors peg Deutsche Telekom looking into acquisition of Sprint and yet, another option has presented itself. Unfortunately, though this option has a much less positive spin than the acquisition of the third and fourth place wireless players in the US would have. Coming on the heels of the T-mobile UK merger with Orange in the UK, the two big shareholders … [read full article]
Here is a friendly reminder about T-Mobile’s next media centered phone. The Nokia 5130, which we told you about last month, is destined for shelves tomorrow and will replace the Nokia 5310 (that still seems backwards to me). It is a pretty simple, affordable, music playing phone with a 2 megapixel camera, external music controls, a 3.5 mm headphone jack (YAY!) and it will have a couple of color options. Full … [read full article]
Obvious Simpson’s reference aside, here is some news for those current (or upcoming) Android users. Google has released the SDK for Android 1.6 or Donut (which really gives the power to developers to fine tune the update). However, what interests the consumer is that Donut will officially be served to the masses “as early as October” (HEY! that is in like two weeks!). This Donut will be stuffed with a … [read full article]
A lot has been said in the wireless world about what life will be like in a post 3G environment. Fourth generation technology offers significant speed improvements and hopefully significantly improved technology capable of enhancing reception in areas that have been all too often problematic, say inside a building?! Sprint, AT&T and Verizon have all committed themselves publicly to fourth generation networks with Sprint leading the pack promising a Wimax rollout before the competition. However, our beloved … [read full article]
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past week, you probably know all about the Motorola Cliq (and all of the speculation and confusion surrounding it). Well, while some seem certain that the next Android phone will be hitting T-Mobile stores early next month, we will be standing by our previous [read full article]
Looking for some talk radio discussing all things Android, Cliq and everything else? Look no further. Our very own David (you know him, right?) is appearing as a guest on Android Guys Podcast tonight (September 14th, 2009) to discuss Android, and more specifically the Cliq. Listen in and maybe you will hear some delightful news (I can’t promise this, but it is sure possible). Head on … [read full article]
This rumor seems to pop up every time the wind blows in a certain direction. T-mobile wants to acquire Sprint, Sprint wants to acquire T-mobile, Sprint and T-mobile dance the Samba etc etc. Deutsche Telekom (T-mobile USA parent company) has a market value six times that of Sprint and while Sprint seems to be on a roll these days with a … [read full article]
Motorola Cliq or Huawei Luna not your style, then maybe some HTC Tattoo fits your needs. While we have known that the Tattoo has android, we can now see that it will also run the Sense UI, which ultimately means it will not be a “With Google” phone. It seems odd to me that HTC would run the sense UI on … [read full article]
Not too long ago we saw a leaked road map of what T-Mobile has in store for us through the holiday season. While it seemed to be an older slide, it did raise some new speculation about an old favorite (of mine at least). Below the Cliq was the much rumored Huawei Android phone that is bound for T-Mobile … [read full article]
While some of you are more excited about the Cliq than others, there seems to be a all sorts of numbers, dates and speculation regarding its release. While we have information that supports a pre-order date of October 19th, Boy Genius has information to the contrary. Their source tells them that the Cliq will be available in the early weeks of October (which lines up with the September 22nd [read full article]
Well, today is just full of flip flopping companies. First, with Nokia deciding that Carriers can customize Maemo on the N900 (and future handsets) and now T-Mobile has a surprise for all of us. A while back we told you that T-Mobile was going to start charging for paper billing, all in an effort to conserve paper and save the planet (a gallant effort nonetheless). Then Kyle (a moderator over … [read full article]
Oh how this is sure to please the masses, as you can see above a pre-order date for the Cliq is in full effect. Price and official release date is still TBD but is there really a price to put on social networking love? This is surely going to get the rumor mill churning on all things Cliq knowing that we are less than 45 days away from the pre-order and in typical T-mobile fashion, a pre-order … [read full article]
