It looks like T-Mobile suffered yesterday a possible security breach. While everyone was watching the iPhone presentation some crazy guys decided to steal some data. That’s customers data if you’re wondering but T-Mobile says that the stolen data will not jeopardize them:

Regarding the recent claim on a Web site, we’ve identified the document from which information was copied and believe possession of this alone is not enough to cause harm to our customers.

What else do you expect them to tell you? That you’re in danger of losing all that’s left in your bank account? It looks like T-Mobile’s hackers tried to sell the data to T-Mobile competitors and when that didn’t work they put it up for auction. The highest bidder will get, or has already gotten, all that data. T-Mobile had data theft problems in the past if I’m not mistaken! What will happen next?

Even better, T-Mobile is going to cancel mail-in rebates too which is another great news.

Not to be confused with the other Dash that we have come across recently, the long-awaited HTC Dash 3G has shown its face again.  With the rumored launch at the CTIA turning out to be a no-show, we now have news that the Maple will fall on T-Mobile street on July 1st.  We have already brought you a few specs that have leaked including its 2.4-inch QVGA display, 128MB RAM, 256MB RAM, a fast 528MHz Qualcomm processor to power its Windows Mobile operating system, although the flavor of included OS is still debatable.  At any rate, we’ll only have to wait another month to find out more.

A placeholder which is apparently reserved for a 32GB iPhone (taken down now) has appeared on the Austrian T-Mobile website.  While this may not be complete confirmation, it does validate some of the rumors that have been circulating on the interweb of 32GB space in the next version, and come to think of it, a higher storage capacity seems just natural progression.  Going by what has been uncovered until now, the next-gen iPhone will has a slightly better camera with a 3.2 megapixel lens with autofocus, a faster 600MHz CPU, and RAM doubled up to 256MB, pretty much what we could have dreamed up, let alone the Apple thinktank.  We only have to wait till next month to find out we have been hearing the right murmurs.

Motorola is indeed working on Android phones and a certain QWERTY slider is heading to T-Mobile by the end of the year. According to the leaked T-Mobile Android map above Motorola Morrison is the phone we’re talking about. The phone should arrive sometime in October and it will be sold for around $148 with a contract. Hopefully we’ll get more details about the Morrison soon. In fact, Motorola should officially tell us more stuff about any of its Android plans.

It seems that T-Mobile has recently announced that they are delaying the release of the Android 1.5 from May to June.

However, G1 owners need not be too discouraged as the updated was delayed just a week with a T-Mobile forum moderator by the name of Dominic giving the following statement:

We’d like to provide an update on the rollout of Android 1.5 for T-Mobile G1 customers.  
We are working diligently to get Android 1.5 out as soon as possible, while aiming to ensure a consistent, positive experience for our customers. We’re finalizing the build this week to ensure optimal functionality and smooth delivery. Therefore, the rollout schedule has been reset by approximately a week, and we expect all G1 customers will have the update by early June.

Your device will notify you when the update is available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

So, mark your calenders, Android 1.5 will officially be released for the T-Mobile G1 in early June.

Samsung’s first Android phone, the i7500, has been approved by the FCC so we’ll be expecting it to arrive soon from T-Mobile. Unfortunately if we are to listen to recent rumors soon translates into at least four months of waiting since the phone will only be available in November. In the mean time you can try out other Android phones from T-Mobile.

Those of you with a weak heart should take a seat immediately. Word on the street is that the G1 v2 is not an HTC phone but Motorola’s first Android phone. The handset will be made for T-Mobile and it will see the light of day as the G1 v2. According to sources the phone is indeed a Motorola creation and now we should expect an official announcement from the parties involved. What’s weird so far is that Motorola, despite having been working for a while now on Android handsets, hasn’t started the buzz around its first Android phone. Why aren’t they gloating and bragging with a phone that might have the potential of cashing some profits for a company that desperately needs a new hit phone?

Makes you forget the Touch Pro2 for a moment, doesn’t it?  It also makes sense for HTC to use the same ploy as in its Touch series of Windows smartphones and give new life to a successful Android device that’s starting to creak in its ageing joints.  The above image is a revision of the G1 that surfaced on BGR, and we have our fingers crossed that this isn’t just a mockup as the idea of a QWERTY-enhanced, Android-powered smartphone has us drooling already.  If true, we could expect the G1v2 to land as early as October for $148 on a two-year T-Mobile contract.  We’ll let you know when we know more, so keeping coming back.

The 8mpx and 12mpx cameraphones are slowly gaining steam, but that does not necessarily mean a 5-megapixel shooter is out of vogue.  Couple that with that with the fact that T-Mobile wants to give their customers a little bit extra, and you have the Android-powered G2 (or the HTC Magic) rocking a 5-megapixel camera instead of the usual 3.2mpx lens that the other carriers offer. And it might be called just plain old T-Mobile G2, which is fine by us as long as we get what’s promised (and more in this case).  A Walmart release in July seems probable at this moment with a price tag of $179 for a two-year agreement, but we have seen those dates change too many times before to start counting our chickens already.

The Gemini or the BlackBerry 8520 has been scheduled to be delivered to you by T-Mobile in the last quarter of the year. The pricing hasn’t be revealed just yet but we’re counting on T-Mobile to make an announcement at some point. While we’ll be waiting for the full specs of the Gemini we can’t help but notice that optical trackball which should definitely impress you. Would you grab the 8520 or would you rather wait for a different BlackBerry?

That Cupcake or the Android 1.5 update is going to arrive soon but we all knew that. We were still waiting for an official released date and it has been finally leaked. T-Mobile will release the Cupcake update over-the-air starting with May 11. Not everyone will receive the update at once since T-Mobile will roll it out in phases. By the end of this month all Android users should have their devices upgraded, so don’t get all scared if you aren’t among the first lucky ones to get it.

A leaked document from T-Mobile U.S. has revealed the carrier’s Android plans for the rest of the year. Various phones running on Google’s OS are mentioned so you’ll have a tough time to choose yours. The HTC G2 is coming this summer, then the G1 is also going to be probably discontinued after the back to school season this year. Other codenames found in the document are the “G1 v2″ and the “Bigfoot” and the handset should arrive this fall. We’re probably talking about a Helio Ocean 2 which still needs confirmation. Next up is a Samsung Android phone which will be probably called the “Houdini”. While we wait for more specs and some prices you will have plenty of time to choose yours. What is it going to be?

As we have suspected a while ago, T-Mobile has given an odd name to its future Android handset. The HTC Magic will be known as the MyTouch 3G in T-Mobile’s world. The new handset will be available in black, white and merlot. Besides the Magic, HTC will also bring the Touch Pro2 to T-Mobile so we’re looking at a hot T-Mobile summer. What will you choose between Android and Windows Mobile? Magic or Touch Pro2?

Timotheus Hoettges the CFO from Deutsche Telekom, the mothership of all T-Mobiles out there, said at a recent shareholder meeting that T-Mobile UK will have to merge with another carrier or else face the possibility of going under. That’s not exactly a nice prospect is it? Hoettges said that:”in our view consolidation is a means to take excess capabilities out of the market,” and that “nothing is unthinkable on our side.”

So what carrier will T-Mobile UK choose for its future merger? Is it going to be 3 which is ranked as the fifth UK carrier, or will it be one of the other important 3: O2, Orange and Vodafone?
