Earlier this month we posted an article about some information that had come to us regarding an October 1 launch date for nationwide 3G. We wrote it with a grain of salt but we definitely had high hopes for this to be true.

Mark your calenders folks, … [read full article]
I’m not sure if this phone will get anyone lining up a week in advance like that one phone AT&T has….whats the name? i something. Oh well, here we go Nokia fans, the 5610 launches August 11th.

Simply put, this means that the (850/950/1800/1900 MHz) which the Raphael will support can work on both T-mobile’s, or AT&T’s networks. … [read full article]
