So this isn’t really groundbreaking news, but cellphones ooze radiation every single second after you press that power button. Now, however, there is a nifty little website (created by the Environmental Working Group) that ranks over 1,000 phones by radiation level. So, head on over if you are worried about your daily consumption of radiation. Spoiler Alert, the MyTouch 3G is up there as one of the worst phones, but the Sidekick is up there … [read full article]

AT&T, on the other hand, wants to keep the spectrum open for public safety organizations but supports that the spectrum be reserved for LTE (and hey, T-Mobile is up for that).

While T-Mobile continues to roll out 3G, they keep adding devices that are 3G capable (hey, I’m not complaining). While most of these upcoming devices are phones, it’s nice to see some peripherals being added to the mix.

This USB modem supports quad-band GSM/EDGE and dual-band … [read full article]
The 3G march continues this week with more launches. This time, a little loving for the good folks in California as residents of Corona, Fontana, Moreno Valley, Riverside and San Bernardino, CA are all now enjoying 3G goodness. As much as we all love hearing about 3G launches,when reading the PCMag article about HSPA+ and promised speeds, 3G just sounds paltry by comparison. I want me some HSPA+!
Sascha Segan, PCMag columnist extraordinaire, was fortunate enough this week to be given a behind the scenes look at the recently announced HSPA+ T-Mobile service in Philadelphia. Even a cursory glance at the article will show his favorable impressions of the T-mobile HSPA+ network, stating, “T-Mobile’s new HSPA+ network sends other 3G networks running away in tears.” While the obvious counter-argument is that the other carriers are still fielding the basic run of the mill 3G … [read full article]
Good Morning, TmoNews readers! Remember that nice mod that enabled Android users who have rooted their device to use the new Android 1.6 Market?

A cease and desist letter was received from Google directly stating to stop distribution of closed-source Google apps like Market, Talk, Gmail, YouTube, etc. Here are some tidbits from their chat log: [20:03] <cyanogen> google just … [read full article]
T-mobile is rolling out 3G this week like it’s going out of style with Dayton, Ohio becoming the latest recipient of all things 3G. While an unconfirmed launch as of this writing, the volume of emails shows that there is little reason to doubt it’s a city-spread activity. I guess the only real question is… Cincinnati, where are you?? Update: According to T-mobile USA twitter, Rochester, MN also launches today!
