RIP: T-Mobile G2x; was T-Mobile's first dual-core phone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesT-MobileG2x
A screenshot of T-Mobile's recently discontinued items obtained by TmoNews, shows that the T-Mobile G2x was declared EOL on January 6th. Now many phones pass away with nary any notice. But the T-Mobile G2x was special as the device was the first dual-core powered smartphone for the carrier, while its overseas variant was the first dual-core model on the planet. That is not to say that the T-Mobile G2x led an untroubled life. Numerous times the phone was recalled and unavailable for purchase.
When the T-Mobile G2x first launched, sales took off forcing the carrier to raise the price by $50 to keep demand and supply in balance. YouTube videos showing the browser on the overseas version of the...

T-Mobile announces the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, available 'later this year'
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-Mobile
Hot on the heels of the Galaxy S II's success, T-Mobile's getting another Samsung 4G device brewed up. The new smartphone, called the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, isn't set to be available until later this year, which unfortunately means we're getting very little details at the moment. According to the press release, the Blaze will have a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, 42Mbps HSPA+ and a "brilliant Super AMOLED touch screen." Again, this is all we have been given at the moment, and we're confused by the fact that the display doesn't have an HD in front nor a Plus in back, as well as the phone's use of "Galaxy S" in the title. As always, it's our hope that this CES announcement will be shortly followed ...

Nokia Lumia 710 for T-Mobile pops up on eBay
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAT-MobileLumia 710
One way to get your hands on the Nokia Lumia 710 for T-Mobile is to sit tight and wait until January 11 when the smartphone is scheduled to be released. The handset will be priced at $50 after rebate should you sign a 2-year service agreement with the carrier. However, if you are not of the patient kind, or if the contract part of the deal you are not too fond of, what might interest you is the T-Mobile Lumia 710, which is currently for sale on eBay.
Currently, the highest bid stands at $355, which is a reasonable price for a mid-range Windows Phone handset. Besides, you don't need to put your signature under 2-year contracts or anything. Judging by the item's description and the attached im...

Like UnlikeFiled in: MotorolaT-Mobile
Last week Sprint, AT&T, Samsung, and HTC responded to Senator Al Franken's request for more information on how they were using Carrier IQ on their customers' phones, and to what extent it was deployed. Yesterday, T-Mobile and Motorola submitted their responses to the letter.

Like UnlikeFiled in: T-MobileAT&TSprint
AT&T announced today that it will no longer pursue its acquisition of T-Mobile US. The wireless carrier faced an uphill battle after both the Department of Justice and the Federal Communications Commission opposed the deal. Rather than throw more money at a losing cause, AT&T will pay Deutsche Telecom a $4 billion fee and walk away from the deal.
After AT&T announced its decision, Sprint issued a press release that supported this move and praised the government for blocking this deal.

AT&T CEO says blocking T-Mobile merger will increase wireless prices
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-MobileAT&T
AT&T chief executive officer Randall Stephenson recently said in a Captains of Industry interview with Bloomberg that blocking his company’s proposed $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA will increase wireless prices for consumers. Stephenson explained that AT&T needs T-Mobile in order to expand its already strained network capacity, and that Congress doesn’t understand wireless policy. ”Regulators can’t keep up with the changes in the industry,” Stephenson said. AT&T recently withdrew its application from the FCC to acquire T-Mobile USA and said that it will first focus on a lawsuit brought against the merger by the Department of Justice. Should AT&T win the lawsuit, which is expected to...

Everything Everywhere's £1.5 billion investment to bring 4G to Orange and T-Mobile in the UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-MobileOrange
So far there have been some limited LTE trials, but the truth remains: UK 4G isn't happening any time soon. A fact not lost on Everything Everywhere CEO Olaf Swantee, who's raiding the coffers to a tune of £1.5 billion to bring the Orange and T-Mo UK up to speed. Top of the shopping list, naturally, is the network equipment needed, in time for when the spectrum eventually gets auctioned off -- currently expected to be late 2012. The cash injection is part of a three-year investment, so don't expect that minty fresh network any time soon, but UK users can at least take refuge in knowing that Swantee, and his brace of providers, are pushing to bring old Blighty decent data rates sooner rather ...

LG's G2x launched in April to reports of random reboots, overheating, and low battery life, but a July upgrade to Android 2.3 Gingerbread aimed to resolve most of the issues. In a somewhat odd move, T-Mobile has now started another rollout of the OTA updates, seemingly to catch any stragglers left behind. Along with the aforementioned fixes and enhancements of Gingerbread itself, the upgrade also improves the performance of the front-facing camera when using the video sharing app Qik.
