T-Mobile's Galaxy S II has been rooted!
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-MobileGalaxy S II T-Mobile
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.

Late to the party, AT&T to launch BlackBerry Bold 9900 on November 6th

Whatever happened to tradition? After all, it was AT&T that helped RIM step up and become a more relevant smartphone manufacturer with the launch of the BlackBerry Bold 9000 in 2008. The shape and size of the device had many becoming fans at first touch. And of course, the physical QWERTY on that phone is one of the best ever to be melded onto a handset. We can still remember the ads AT&T was running proclaiming it the fastest 'Berry ever with a 624MHz processor under the hood (compared to the single-core 1.2GHz processor in the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930).

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

iOS developers said to earn more from app sales than Google makes from its mobile business
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleGoogle
Developers who build and sell apps for Apple’s iOS platform will collectively earn more money over the next year than Google will earn from its entire mobile business. Following Google’s third-quarter earnings report last week, David Barnard, founder of App Cubby, posted an interesting observation on his company’s blog. Google reported a run rate of $2.5 billion for its mobile ad revenue based on third-quarter earnings, up from $1 billion a year earlier. While that growth is impressive, Barnard noted that Apple paid developers about $500 million during the 89 days between July 7th and October 4th for a run rate of $2 billion. Add to that the money third-party ad networks like Milennial Media...

MetroPCS interested in buying AT&T/T-Mobile assets
Like UnlikeFiled 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.

'Tremendous demand' for free iPhone 3GS, AT&T CEO says
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleAT&TiPhone 3GS
During AT&T’s third-quarter earnings call on Thursday, CEO Ralph de la Vega discussed the continued success his company still sees from the iPhone 3GS. ”We have another device that I think is going to dramatically change those people that are on smartphones and quick messaging devices, the 3GS, which is free with a 2-year contract,” de la Vega explained. “We’ve seen tremendous, tremendous demand for that device even though it’s a generation old. And actually, we’re getting more new subscribers coming on to the 3GS on the average than other devices. So we have an inventory sold out on that device.” Pretty impressive for a phone that made its debut in June, 2009. AT&T said it sold a total of 4...

The Galaxy Nexus' Super AMOLED display is a minus, not a Plus
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
For all the buzz around Samsung's latest hi-def smartphone, the absence of one little word has largely been glossed over. That word is "Plus" -- the wizened Galaxy S II has a "Super AMOLED Plus" display, for example, whereas the sparkly Galaxy Nexus is merely "Super AMOLED." Did the marketeers simply forget those extra hyperbolic keystrokes, or does the difference actually mean something?

Microsoft wants Windows Phone to be “the most secure phone the market has ever seen.”
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7
The company is looking for a software Development Engineer in Test to engage in “cutting edge fuzzing technology, pentesting, and other security tools to help us ship the most secure phone the market has ever seen.”
Windows Phone 7 has so far not really had any significant testing of their sandbox, and truth be told hackers have managed to work around most of the lock down features Microsoft has implemented so far e.g. the ability to jailbreak and sideload apps, and likely largely benefits from less attention, so this move is certainly welcome.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
If you aren’t yet over Nokia’s abrupt decision to put an end to the MeeGo project then you might not like knowing that the smartphone codenamed the Sea Ray was once a CDMA device bound for Verizon with MeeGo on-board.
The Nokia Sea Ray is a device rumored to be heading to AT&T and will be one of the Finnish manufacturer’s first handsets to feature the Windows Phone operating system. Recently some press photos surfaced of the Sea Ray which is also known as the Nokia 800. The hardware looks very similar to the MeeGo powered N9 that unfortunately won’t see the light of day in most countries.
