The handset is available there for $99 on a three year contract, and will also be $450 unlocked (which would to me seem to be the better option).

Used Xboxes can be hacked for credit card information, researcher says
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesMicrosoftXBOX 360
Restoring an Xbox 360 console to factory settings before selling it apparently isn't enough to remove your personal information. In an interview with Kotaku, Drexel University researcher Ashley Podhradsky said that her team had successfully retrieved credit card data from a refurbished Xbox using simple modding tools. The software gave them access to the console's files and folders, letting them extract information that hadn't been wiped even by the Microsoft-authorized reseller. The process was published in the August 2011 Proceedings of the America's Conference on Information Systems.

Google released its Android 4.0.4 updates for the GSM Nexus S just a couple of days ago, but for users with Sprint's version of the phone it's been a long wait for Ice Cream Sandwich. Thankfully, BriefMobile has posted what it says is the official over-the-air 4.0.4 ROM for the WiMAX-enabled Nexus S. Along with the newest version of Android, the update has a new baseband that early adopters say has significantly improved WiMAX reception.

China hits 1 billion mobile phone users
Like UnlikeIt’s no secret that mobile phones are pretty much a staple for most people on the planet. It is fitting that the nation with the largest population has just become the first country to have over a billion mobile phone subscribers.
At the end of 2011, the population of mainland China was 1,347,350,000. At the end of February the official count of mobile phone subscribers was 1,006,923,000, which means almost 75% of people in China have a cell phone. China has seen growth of up to 10 million subscribers per month. It could very well find itself at 100% penetration relatively soon.
