So what’s the fun in having a great device running a slow network? Well, there is no fun at all according to this new T-Mobile advertisement taking on both Verizon and AT&T. I can’t say how happy I am that T-Mobile is extending the fight beyond AT&T and going after the real competition, Verizon.

Verizon is showing its usual arrogance over its network via an interview with CTO Tony Melone from Cnet. While I’ll be the first to admit, Verizon really outshines the other carriers, including our Magenta at CES, hands down that doesn’t mean they have the strongest offering of all.

T-Mobile CEO Philip Humm and the CEO of LG met on stage at the T-Mobile CES 2011 Press Event and showed off…the LG G-Slate. Well, more like they held it in their hands and let the “rest of us” wonder what hides behind that black exterior as we snapped away image after image. If you’ve seen the [read full article]
While there was certainly a lot to look forward to coming out of the T-Mobile announcement in terms of data speeds, the most important point was that T-Mobile will not raise data plans for 4G usage. T-Mobile said unequivocally that they don’t believe they need to charge a “premium or “toll” for 4G use. This is great news, just great news as other … [read full article]
It’s hard to get a real “hands on” with a device at an event like CES when everyone around you is clamoring for the same shots you want. Still, we spent a few minutes with the Dell Streak 7 and it is impressive. I don’t often use the words “impressive” and “Dell” in the same sentence but right … [read full article]
Fresh from the T-Mobile announcement at CES, Magenta has officially announced its plans for 2011. T-Mobile states that it plans to launch at least 25 new 4G devices in 2011 (just as we expected), beginning with its first 4G tablet, the Dell Steak 7. T-Mobile … [read full article]
