Posted on Jun 26, 2012 by MG1

Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile signed an agreement covering a range of AWS spectrum swaps and sales that should improve 4G coverage for both companies.

T-Mobile Galaxy Note press shot outed - July 11th release date

T-Mobile Galaxy Note press shot outed - July 11th release date

Posted on Jun 26, 2012 by MG1

If you’ve been wanting to get your hands on a Samsung Galaxy Note via T-Mobile, it looks like you don’t have much longer to wait. A press shot of a T-Mobile branded Galaxy Note has leaked out, and rumor has it that the popular tablet/phone hybrid will be making its way to Magenta shelves on July 11th.
At the beginning of the month, Samsung stated that the company has already moved over 7 million Galaxy Notes, which is impressive for a device of its kind. The Note is a large device, and we’re pretty sure Samsung didn’t think it was going to take off the way it did. Well, lucky for them, the Note is selling well and having it on another carrier in the US should boost the sales even more.

T-Mobile to conduct LTE-Advanced trials this summer in preparation for 2013 deployment

T-Mobile to conduct LTE-Advanced trials this summer in preparation for 2013 deployment

Posted on Jun 19, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: T-Mobile

Eager to get its LTE ducks in a row, T-Mobile announced today that it plans to begin trials of the next-gen network this summer. But here's the kicker: despite being tardy to the high-speed party, it plans on deploying true 4G in 2013, throttling ahead to the latest and greatest version known as 3GPP Release 10 -- also known as LTE-Advanced. Hitting this mark is crucial for T-Mobile, primarily because Sprint and AT&T have already announced their intentions to jump to the same speeds next year.
T-Mobile also discussed its mysterious deployment of 1900MHz 3G service in San Francisco this week. According to Dave Mayo, SVP of technology, this is part of the carrier's 4G network evolution plan: t...

T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42Mbps network faster than Verizon's 4G LTE in 11 cities

T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42Mbps network faster than Verizon's 4G LTE in 11 cities

Posted on Jun 19, 2012 by MG1

In speed tests conducted by PC Magazine, T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42Mbps 4G network beat Verizon's 4G LTE network in 11 cities. What does PC Magazine think about T-Mobile's HSPA+ service? "It’s really fast, covers a lot of the country and is inexpensive," says the publication. Taking it even further, PC Magazine says that with this type of speed available to its customers, the nation's fourth largest carrier doesn't really need an LTE network except to have the additional spectrum and for marketing purposes. Anyone who thinks that T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42Mbps network doesn't belong in the same conversation as LTE should probably take a look at the numbers
Although it was outperformed in some areas, as w...

T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 now available on Pre-Paid

T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 now available on Pre-Paid

Posted on Jun 11, 2012 by MG1

The Nokia Lumia 710 is now available on Pre-Paid on T-Mobile USA where it costs only $249.99 with $50 refill, bringing the actual cost down only to $199. The handset is also available in store on Bestbuy where it is retailing for $299.
The handset appears to be the best specced from the Pre-Paid devices in the price range, with most offering 3 megapixel cameras, WVGA screens and Android 2.3, and some even running 600 Mhz processors, which we all know is buttery smooth on Android.
Nokia has the logistic scale to be able to compete in the low-end and still make money, so hopefully their handsets will get the recognition they deserve for the great value for money they deliver.

Samsung Galaxy S III coming to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and US Cellular this month

Posted on Jun 04, 2012 by MG1

Official is as official does... right? In a bid to one-up the Galaxy S II's launch here in the States, Samsung has just announced that five carriers will soon have their own customized versions of the Galaxy S III. And by "soon," we mean "beginning in June." AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and US Cellular are all in line to take part, with exact pricing and availability to be announced by each of the five carriers in the coming weeks. We are, however, told to expect on-contract prices as low as $199, and it sounds as if all five variants will keep the same 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display.

T-Mobile releases Q1 2012 earnings report, sees surge in customers

Posted on May 10, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: T-Mobile

T-Mobile USA issued its Q1 2012 earnings report today, declaring a net increase of 187,000 new customers. That's a rather notable statistic, considering that the carrier reported a net loss of 526,000 customers in Q4 2011, and losses of 99,000 customers in the first quarter of last year. The company attributed this increase to a surge in prepaid users that helped offset a loss of 510,000 contract customers.
