Deutsche Telekom may drop T-Mobile UK after failed AT&T deal
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-MobileAT&T
T-Mobile's parent company Deutsche Telekom may be looking to offload T-Mobile UK after AT&T dropped its bid for T-Mobile USA, insiders asserted Wednesday. Tips to Bloomberg had it in the early phases of considering a British "exit" now that AT&T's $39 billion proposal had been deemed anti-competitive. The choices could include anything from letting Orange UK take over the other half of the Everything Everywhere partnership to an outside company.

AT&T declares war on unlimited data users
Like UnlikeFiled in: AT&T
AT&T’s stance on unlimited data is once again in the spotlight as a new wave of smartphone users cry foul over the carrier’s questionable policies. The nation’s No.2 carrier does not currently offer an unlimited data plan to its smartphone subscribers. Instead, there are three available data plans that include “soft” caps, allowing subscribers to continue using data services for additional fees after the soft cap is reached in a billing period. Users who have been with AT&T since before the carrier switched to tiered data plans — loyal customers who have in some cases maintained the same account in good standing for more than a decade — had the option to retain their unlimited data plans whe...

Just how large is the Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAT&TGALAXY Note
We just got our hands on the review version of the Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T (check out our first impressions here) and there’s no doubt that this is a large phone. It’s tough to convey how large it is though, so we wanted to offer a few comparisons to popular devices to help your get your mind around what it means to have a 5.3-inch screen in your pocket.
First up is the iPhone – in this case, a Verizon iPhone 4 – and the 3.5-inch display that many of you either own or know the rough size of. The iPhone has a much smaller overall footprint than the Note but it’s roughly the same thickness, which is a credit to Samsung’s design. I found Apple’s iPhone to be much easier to use with one han...

Apple may partner with Verizon, AT&T and others for iTV content
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsAppleVerizon WirelessAT&T
Apple will launch its own HDTV called the “iTV,” analyst Peter Misek of Jefferies & Company said on Monday. We’ve written dozens of reports on Apple’s alleged upcoming HDTV, and most speculate that the device will run a version of iOS along with the company’s Siri voice engine that will remove the need for a traditional remote control. Misek also said that Apple is in talks to partner with carriers such as Verizon Wireless and AT&T for access to exclusive and non-exclusive content, Bloomberg reported on Monday. Best Buy recently leaked possible details on the iTV and the retailer’s survey suggested the device will have a 42-inch display and a $1,499 price tag. The TV could launch near the mi...

If you're a smartphone fanatic, you might be watching the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl for reasons other than football.

Huawei MediaPad hits AT&T's tablet offering
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAT&THuaweiMediaPad
AT&T is adding another tablet to its portfolio – Huawei MediaPad, which is already available in the U.S. as T-Mobile Springboard. Unfortunately, the device AT&T is selling comes with Honeycomb (rather than Ice Cream Sandwich) on board, though we’re sure Android 4.0 update will be released shortly. Moreover, the press release doesn’t mention multiple color options, hinting us the only version the carrier will offer is silver (which BTW looks pretty cool to me).
AT&T has already started selling the MediaPad to its enterprise users at varying price points depending on the business account. As for consumers, guess they’ll have to wait for few more days — I couldn’t find the tablet on AT&T’s webs...

Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S on AT&T finding Google Wallet available
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAT&TGoogleNexus SGALAXY Nexus
There hasn't been any official announcement, but suddenly today the Google Wallet app has started showing up for certain devices on a specific carrier, and amazingly enough, the carrier is one of the major backers of the ISIS NFC payment system.
That carrier is of course AT&T and the devices are the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S. Google Wallet had come up as unavailable for users before, but now AT&T customers with those devices can get the app. It was tested by both Droid Life and Engadget, and Engadget even found that if you swap an AT&T SIM into a GSM Galaxy Nexus, you can download the Wallet app, and it will still work even after swapping back to a T-Mobile SIM card.

Microsoft to pay AT&T reps $200 million in the U.S. to recommend Windows Phone models
Like UnlikeFiled in: MicrosoftAT&T
If you can't beat 'em, pay someone off to beat 'em. That seems to be what Microsoft has in mind in order to raise Windows Phone sales in the U.S. The plan is to pay AT&T staff $10 to $15 for each Windows Phone handset sold as a direct result of a recommendation to a customer. Obviously, Microsoft believes that its mobile OS cannot compete on its merits alone at this stage in the game.
Looking at a chart of global OS marketshare, you can see that Android has been in a major uptrend through the third quarter of last year. Symbian's trend resembles RIM's stock price and iOS has been steady. The graph, based on data from Gartner, shows that Windows Phone had only 2.7% of the market by the end o...

Nokia Lumia 900 to hit AT&T March 18th for $99?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAAT&TLumia 900
A source speaking to BGR confirmed the March 18th launch date we reported for Nokia’s Lumia 900. The 4.3” WP7 handset will make its debut on AT&T, although the date may not be set in stone; apparently the Lumia 900 is still working to get final technical approval.
More exciting is the reported price: Consumers purchasing the phone with a two year contract will get it for a less than a Benjamin. Before sales tax anyhow. Still, a $99 price point is very aggressive, so clearly Microsoft and Nokia are coming to play this spring. This price positioning reflects the important that Microsoft and Nokia place on the U.S. market for the future of Windows Phone.

AT&T switches up Sony PlayStation Vita data plan options
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyAT&TPSVITA
AT&T announced at CES 2012 that it would be carrying the Sony PlayStation Vita portable connected gaming device, and with that announcement, it said that customers would be able to choose between two data plans for it - a $15 per month plan that offered 250MB of data, and a $25 per month plan with 2GB of data. Now that AT&T has introduced new data plans for its smartphone and tablet devices, it has decided to change the offerings for the Vita as well. Gone is the $25 per month option, replaced by a 3GB, $30 per month plan. It appears that users will still be able to choose the smaller data package if they desire. The PlayStation Vita is due to hit AT&T's shelves on February 22 for $299.

Sprint's move to roaming agreements sends AT&T to angry town
Like UnlikeFiled in: AT&TSprint
Despite all Sprint's efforts to promote its Network Vision plans, the carrier has been much more coy about its intentions for subscribers in the rural midwest. It was recently revealed that the company plans to divest some of its infrastructure in Oklahoma and Kansas, where the carrier will instead rely on roaming agreements for voice and data. The move is primarily a cost-cutting measure, but one network -- AT&T -- is none too happy about the revelation. Ma Bell argues that Sprint is being too opportunistic following the FCC's shuttering of the Home Market Rule, which (once upon a time) required carriers to build up infrastructure rather than rely on roaming agreements in areas where they h...

AT&T again said to be considering Dish Network acquisition
Like UnlikeFiled in: AT&T
After the company’s failed acquisition of T-Mobile, AT&T is said to be in dire need of additional wireless spectrum and may be looking at Dish Network, the second-largest satellite-television provider in the United States. “AT&T wants to get more spectrum,” said Recon Analytics Roger Entner in a telephone interview with Bloomberg. “They are a year behind Verizon in the LTE race. Dish would undoubtedly be a good combination and it would solve a lot of AT&T’s problems.” Dish acquired spectrum from the bankruptcies of DBSD North America and TerreStar Networks. President and CEO Joe Clayton said the company is open to future acquisitions, and with airwaves limited, Dish has become a valuable tar...

AT&T considering buying Dish Network to solve its spectrum woes
Like UnlikeFiled in: AT&T
Back before AT&T pulled out of its proposed $39 billion buyout of T-Mobile, Dish Network said it was interested in the nation's fourth largest carrier if AT&T's offer failed. Now, there is speculation that AT&T is considering a purchase of Dish Network to add much needed spectrum to the company. Bloomberg, in a report dated Monday, said a deal could come at the highest premium paid in over ten years for a tech takeover..
