25 Jan 10 Updated HTC HD2 coming to the US
The HTC HD2 is undoubtedly the sleekest Windows Mobile handset on the market today. Not to mention the fact that it is the only one with a capacitive touchscreen. Unfortunately, the device has yet to be picked up by a major carrier in the US putting it just out of reach for most consumers.
However, word has recently gotten out that not only will the HD2 be hitting T-Mobile at some point in the near future but it will have some updated specs to boot. These updated specs include 1GB of ROM and 567MB of RAM as compared to the previous 512MB and 448MB. Additionally, HTC will be throwing in a 16GB microSD card instead of the 2GB card bundled overseas.
Unfortunately we still have no word on exactly when this device will be made available but we’ll let you know as soon as we do.

24 Jan 10 T-Mobile could bring Motorola MOTOROI to the United States
We’ve already reported on the Motorola MOTOROI, the first Android-powered cellular phone for the Korean market. It would appear that T-Mobile wants to bring the mobile device to the United States.
We can only assume that it will have the same specs, such as Android 2.0, 3.7 inch WVGA screen, 8GB of storage, microSD slot, 8 megapixel camera, and 720p recording capability. It is also planned to have a T-DMB TV tuner for watching 24 of South Korea’s channels, but I suppose that will have to be altered for the States.
Well, we don’t have a price on this, but we can estimate that it will be out in March.

24 Jan 10 T-Mobile could be giving the Sidekick a kick to the side
I’m sure I might will probably regret or congratulate myself for reporting on this, but we are receiving reports that T-Mobile may be phasing out the Sidekick.
I don’t think it has anything to do with those technical problems that went on last October with lost Sidekick data. I think this might be an “out with the old and in with the new situation”. The current theory is that the myTouch Slide will take the Sidekick’s place.
I’m sure that, in a few days, we’ll know for sure what Sidekick is doing. Until then, don’t quote me on anything I just said.

16 Jan 10 T-Mobile pushes out Windows Mobile 6.5
T-Mobile has today announced that they will be releasing Windows Mobile 6.5 for their HTC Touch Pro2 and Dash 3G cellular phones. To snag the update, just head over to T-Mobile’s website, enter in your IMEI and follow the instructions.
If you’ve been paying attention you’ll know that AT&T and Verizon have already gotten the Windows 6.5 treatment while Sprint has been left in the dark. However, rumors suggest that Sprint will be skipping over 6.5 entirely and instead push out Windows Mobile 6.6. Of course, these rumors are far from confirmed so we’ll have to wait and see.

15 Jan 10 Google slashes Nexus One upgrade price, issues refunds
When the Nexus One first came out, T-Mobile users, who were eligible, were forced to pay $379 for an upgrade fee. Sure, that may seem a little high especially for a company who’s slogan is “Don’t be evil”. Luckily, Google has swooped in to announce that they will be slashing the upgrade price from $379 to $279.
Those of you who paid the $379 to upgrade, don’t worry as Google promises to give you a $100 refund through Google Checkout at some point in the near future. We’ll keep you posted about news regarding the refund.

12 Jan 10 Google adds $350 termination fee to the Nexus One
Future Nexus One owners just got another reason to buy the unsubsidized version of the phone, as Google has imposed a hefty $350 Early Termination Fee for the phone, if you cancel the service with the carriers within the first 120 days.
But that’s not all, because T-Mobile has its own Early Termination Fee, which costs $200. So if you’re thinking of canceling your service within 120 days, you’re out a good $550. Or you could just get the unsubsidized phone for $530.

22 Dec 09 HTC HD2 coming to T-Mobile
Back in October we showed you a leaked presentation slide that let us know that the HTC HD2 was coming to T-Mobile. Well, here we are a few months later and still no announcement from HTC or T-Mobile.
Luckily a leaked 2.01 ROM has appeared on the internet that shows a start screen with T-Mobile’s “stick together” slogan. As you can see, it also says “Test Only not for sale” under it which leads us to believe T-Mobile is currently testing the device.
T-Mobile users? Will you buy the HTC HD2 if it’s ever made available on the carrier?

01 Dec 09 T-Mobile to Launch Firmware Update for the Cliq
It’s not only Sony Ericsson that is launching a new firmware update for one of its phones these days. T-Mobile is also planning to launch a firmware update for one of its Android phones. The Motorola Cliq is going to receive the new update which is supposed to fix a bunch of problems. Bluetooth, touchscreen accuracy, connectivity, accelerometer functionality and battery life are all going to get fixed by the new firmware update. Unfortunately for us, build 1.3.31 will not bring you a different version of Android OS so you’ll have to still deal with Android 1.5 so far. What about you? How is your Cliq treating you these days?

01 Dec 09 AT&T Ranks Last in Consumer Report
The fact that AT&T ranks last in a consumer report doesn’t surprises anyone at this point. Just go ahead and ask some AT&T customers that happen to own an iPhone and they’ll surely complain about AT&T’s service. In 26 from 26 surveyed cities the official iPhone carrier was ranked last in every category. Verizon got the number one spot followed by T-Mobile and Sprint came in on third.
It will be interesting to see how those customer reports will affect Apple’s decision regarding the future of the iPhone in the USA. Will Verizon get the Apple smartphone already or are we going to expect some surprises next year?

The sales are now open for the Tap touch phone released by T-Mobile, which costs $80 after a rebate plus a new contract agreement.
The Tap touch phone is made by Huawei and supports T-Mobile’s 3G network, as well as 1700MHz UMTS/HSDPA.

The goodies on the Tap include the access to the T-Mobile web2go service, and also GPS.
The limit of microSD memory cards is 8GB, which should be good enough to take photos and record videos with the 2-megapixel camera, or to fill it up with songs to listen with the music player.
