AT&T says T-Mobile deal will close later than expected

AT&T says T-Mobile deal will close later than expected

AT&T has pushed back the date it expects to close the books on its planned merger with T-Mobile and spectrum purchase from Qualcomm, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. The carrier had originally planned to close both acquisitions by March of 2012, although it now expects the required approvals to take as much as three months longer to gain. The carrier now says the deal should be approved by the end of the first half next year. AT&T recently ran into speed bumps with both deals. In August the Federal Communications Commission announced that it would review both AT&T’s spectrum purchase from Qualcomm and its merger with T-Mobile USA at the same time. Later that month, the U.S. govern...

HTC Flyer touches down at T-Mobile, Scribe pen not included

HTC Flyer touches down at T-Mobile, Scribe pen not included

Posted on Nov 03, 2011 by MG1

US Cellular's got one and so does Sprint (albeit under a re-branded banner). So, where's the Magenta-friendly HTC Flyer we saw creep up at the FCC this June? Well, it appears T-Mobile's been offering it for some time to business customers only, but that exclusivity's come to a close. The 7-inch Gingerbread slate with AWS bands is curiously absent from the operator's own online site, but you can still snag it from HTC for $299 with a new mobile broadband plan or $454 with a contract extension. Sadly, neither party's tossing in the HTC Scribe pen gratis, so you'll have to make due with your own digits for navigating or just pick it up separately. If this is the Sense-laden variant you've been ...

T-Mobile myTouch and myTouch Q launching November 2nd for $80

T-Mobile myTouch and myTouch Q launching November 2nd for $80

Posted on Nov 01, 2011 by MG1

T-Mobile announced on Monday that two affordable Android phones, the myTouch and the myTouch Q, will launch on November 2nd for $80 a piece after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a new two-year contract. The myTouch is equipped with a 3.8-inch display, a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a 5-megapixel camera capable of recording 720p video and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The myTouch Q offers a smaller 3.5-inch display but otherwise has many of the same specs. The biggest difference, however, is that the myTouch Q also includes a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Both smartphones should provide solid options for smartphone shoppers on a budget this holiday season.

LG DoublePlay on sale at T-Mobile earlier than expected

LG DoublePlay on sale at T-Mobile earlier than expected

Posted on Oct 27, 2011 by MG1

While it may have originally been pegged for a November 2 release, the dual-screen packing LG DoublePlay is now on sale at T-Mobile for $99.99 with a new two-year contract or a qualified two year upgrade.
We were first introduced to the LG DoublePlay back in May and it was just two weeks ago that the first official press shots of the dual-screen smartphone surfaced. The DoublePlay is an Android 2.3 device and is powered by a single-core 1GHz processor. The main display of this smartphone measures in at 3.5-inches.
What makes the DoublePlay unique is what you see when you slide out the full QWERTY keyboard. In the middle of the keyboard is a 2-inch display that can operate separately or in ...

T-Mobile Reveals Galaxy Tab 10.1, Springboard Launch Dates

T-Mobile Reveals Galaxy Tab 10.1, Springboard Launch Dates

Posted on Oct 26, 2011 by MG1

T-Mobile this week revealed that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will arrive on November 2, while Huawei's Springboard tablet will hit its network on November 9.
Pricing for both devices has not yet been revealed.
The Springboard is Huawei's first Honeycomb tablet for the U.S., and PCMag got some hands-on time with the device at this month's CTIA trade show in San Diego. The 7-inch tablet includes a 1280-by-800 display and 5-megapixel camera. It runs a "mostly unmolested" version of Android, according to PCMag mobile analyst Sascha Segan, as well as a 1.2-GHz dual-core processor. Netflix is pre-loaded.
The Galaxy Tab features a 10.1-inch HD touch-screen display with 1280-by-800 resolution. It ru...

Samsung Exhibit II 4G to be shown off for T-Mobile at Walmart tomorrow, official channels November 2nd

Samsung Exhibit II 4G to be shown off for T-Mobile at Walmart tomorrow, official channels November 2nd

Posted on Oct 26, 2011 by MG1

The original Samsung Exhibit was a mere blip on T-Mobile's radar screen when it originally launched, being obscured by titans like the HTC Sensation 4G. The sequel, curiously coming out a whole four months after its predecessor, is ready to see if it can buck the trend and offer a decent option to those seeking an inexpensive Android device. Starting at $30 after mail in rebate and with a two-year commitment, it's poised to launch tomorrow in Walmart stores nationwide, with stock coming into official T-Mobile channels on November 2nd. If you're feeling contract-averse, however, you can still procure the device for two Benjamins. Not bad for a phone that comes with Gingerbread, a 3.7-inch WVG...

T-Mobile's Galaxy S II has been rooted!

T-Mobile's Galaxy S II has been rooted!

Posted on Oct 24, 2011 by MG3

Those of you with T-Mobile’s version of the Samsung Galaxy S II may be glad to know that your device of choice has been rooted. I’m saying “may” because not everyone is interested to modify its SGS2 smartphone, since the out-of-box experience is already rock-solid.

T-Mobile's Andrew Sherrard: 'the iPhone is not the only option'

T-Mobile's Andrew Sherrard: 'the iPhone is not the only option'

Posted on Oct 24, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: T-Mobile

Remember when T-Mobile CMO Cole Brodman splashed a bucket of cold water on our hot iPhone 4S dreams? Yeah, well the carrier's back to clarify its glaring lack of the handset in its lineup, and it appears the choice wasn't the company's to make. In a statement released today, SVP of Marketing Andrew Sherrard expressed the operator's desire to play host to Apple's latest device, but claims Cupertino's omission of an AWS-friendly radio is the true culprit. In order for that phone to run competently on T-Mo's 4G network, those 1700MHz bands would need to be serviced. In its stead, the exec points to other more capable phones currently on offer -- namely, those bearing Android -- while referring ...

MetroPCS interested in buying AT&T/T-Mobile assets

MetroPCS interested in buying AT&T/T-Mobile assets

Posted on Oct 24, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: T-MobileAT&T

MetroPCS is interested in purchasing spectrum and subscribers from AT&T and T-Mobile, Bloomberg said Friday. Leap Wireless and Dish Network were also approached and Leap may still be interested in making an offer. The deal with MetroPCS would likely amount to less than $4 billion. In August, The Wall Street Journal revealed AT&T had hired Bank of America’s Merill Lynch to advise it on selling as much as $8 billion in assets. Later that month, the United States government sued to block the planned merger when the U.S. Justice Department said the deal would “substantially lessen competition” in the U.S. wireless market.

The HTC Radar 4G shows up on T-Mobile USA’s website as coming soon

The HTC Radar 4G shows up on T-Mobile USA’s website as coming soon

Posted on Oct 20, 2011 by MG1

The HTC Radar 4G has shown up on T-Mobile USA’s website as coming soon. The handset is currently expected to hit stores on the 2nd November, and T-Mobile is touting its HSDPA+ abilities, which the carrier and AT&T are both labelling as 4G speeds.
While the handset is welcome, many T-Mobile USA subscribers are still complaining that they will not be getting the HTC Titan, a somewhat more premium handset, that may have to wait for the T-Mobile/AT&T merger to be available to all.

T-Mobile gives Wildfire S, free SMS to keep iPhone defectors

T-Mobile gives Wildfire S, free SMS to keep iPhone defectors

Posted on Oct 18, 2011 by MG1

T-Mobile has been giving staff a flurry of options to try and keep customers from jumping ship for the iPhone 4S. New staff memos have shown the carrier giving out 500,000 text messages to existing T-Mobile subscribers who have unlocked iPhones. This would be to address those between October 18 and 20 who have a "high likelihood to churn" because they want a new iPhone, TmoNews saw.
Another offer is pitched more at those who would leave for the iPhone 3GS. T-Mobile would specifically try to pitch the "value of the open Android market place" by reminding them they can now get the HTC Wildfire S for free on a hardware upgrade and with a rebate. The choice is unusual given its status as an entr...

T-Mobile unleashes new monthly unlimited plan for $60

T-Mobile unleashes new monthly unlimited plan for $60

Posted on Oct 18, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: T-Mobile

Today T-Mobile announced their new Monthly4G unlimited plan that will provide unlimited talk, text and 4G data for only $60 per month with no contract required to reap the benefits.
The new Monthly4G plan is a new addition to their already solid array of no-contract plans. T-Mobile’s latest no contract offering delivers all that is good about their speedy HSPA+ network, to a certain degree. Just like what the carriers are starting to do with their contract customers, the “unlimited” web use is only capable of accessing the 4G network until the 2GB threshold of data is crossed. Once 2GB of data is used then T-Mobile will throttle the internet speeds until the new billing cycle begins.

FCC petitions AT&T for more clarification on T-Mobile purchase

FCC petitions AT&T for more clarification on T-Mobile purchase

Posted on Oct 17, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: T-MobileAT&T

The Federal Communications Commission has sent a letter to AT&T asking the carrier how its proposed acquisition of T-Mobile will add jobs to the American workforce. The FCC has asked AT&T similar questions already, but it deems that AT&T's answers have been incomplete thus far.
The FCC is looking for the last five years of reports covering workforce and job creation from AT&T. It wants "all analyses, reports, data, or other information in AT&T's possession, custody or control that analyze the size and location of AT&T's workforce both before and as anticipated after the merger. This would include, among all other responsive documents, any documents enumerating the number of T-Mobile and AT&T...
