LG And T-Mobile USA Looking To Partner Up?

One of the questions I get asked the most is why doesn’t T-Mobile carry any phones from LG? While that’s a question I can’t answer, the good folks at Telecomskorea believe that’s about to change. As LG has watched its relationship with Verizon, their predominant North American partner decline, LG is looking to find alternative partners in the US to stop its declining market share.

While hype for the Motorola Cliq was high, sales of the phone have unfortunately turned out to be unexpectedly low. So low in fact, that Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kidron says T-Mobile has actually lost interest in the device–due in part to lingering issues with battery life, which I can personally attest as my own reason for not sticking with the phone.

Save Money With Bing!

As I am the diehard Google fan, I have yet to fully embrace anything Bing has to offer, however some of you may feel differently judging from the picture above. That’s right; Bing is offering 35% cashback on T-Mobile purchases, now through December 2nd.

LTE in Late 2012?

Now, I can’t speak of how accurate this information is, so please have your salt in hand.  Deep in this 3G America document (page 3 of 3 actually) there is a line saying that T-Mobile USA will be deploying LTE in Q4 of 2012.  While this is a year after AT&T (who are just trying to play catch up with Verizon) I am not worried.  If you remember correctly, T-Mobile is setting up to [read full article]
