I have an almost unbroken rule of not answering to phone calls from numbers I don't recognize or haven't added them to my phonebook yet. Same policy applies times two every time someone is trying to get in touch with me but blocks their number sending feature. I did miss a few calls that way, which I shouldn't. but I managed to adjust. What I wasn't able to block were the SMS messages. Of course you don't have to respond to all those messages but then again, it's human nature to react and text back.

Good thing T-Mobile has decided, after being sued and loosing a case in court over some messages, that their subscribers will have now the opportunity of blocking all unwanted messages and calls from certain people. What people? Your boss? Mother in law? Crazy-b**** ex girlfriend? Regular pranksters? Anyone! The sky is the limit. Way to go T-Mobile!

J.D Power and Associates have just awarded another first prize to T-Mobile after a survey of wireless retail sales satisfaction. T-Mobile have surpassed Allttell, Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Sprint Nextel. Their score was based on four categories: sales staff, store display, store facility and price/promotion. Although "just" forth carrier ranked by number of total subscribers, T-Mobile is used to winning awards from J.D Power. Their current record in customer service satisfaction is 7 wins in a row, with the last one earlier this year.

T-Mobile has just a little over 30 million subscribers. They have just launched their 3G plans in New York a few days ago, and rumors say they are going to make a bid for Sprint Nextel in the future. Not to mention their wide cell phone selection or plans. No wonder people are saying they are the coolest.

T-Mobile Austria will help Apple test the new 3G iPhone. There! I said it! What appeared to be a rumor picked up from local blogs seems to have already been confirmed. Apparently the Austrian company is going to provide multiple plans for the new UMTS version of Apple's hot smart phone. In September 2007 it was said that Australia will be testing the new generation iPhones. Apparently Austria beat them to that, or haven't they?

I have been reluctant to cover the news as soon as I heard all that, until I got some more clear confirmation. Well I did get confirmation that Apple will use Austria as a test market with further announcements to be made at the WWDC. This is the first rumor news I will be confirming in the same post. Maybe I should change the title too...

What do you think the asking price for an unlocked 3G iPhone will be?

T-Mobile USA is the company launching their new 3G wireless network in New York. That you already know right? We told you it was bound to happen and I am sure other have as well. We all have also told you that at first, 3G under T-Mobile was supposed to come without data transfer as this feature was to be added afterwards.

But guess what, and I am glad to announce this, T-Mobile has fully launched 3G today in full. Better phone calls and more importantly for some users, better data transfer speed for all subscribers in the New York City area. For now that is, as 3G will be implemented in other important metropolitan areas with lots of T-Mobile customers waiting for it.

T-Mobile also offer a variety of phones that will operate within the UMTS network. They will connect to the best available network whether it's 3G or GMS/GPRS/EDGE for best quality. In the months to come, HSDPA phones are to be released under T-Mobile's name to further enrich the 3G experience they want to offer to all customers.

New York has gone 3G and we're going to let you know when other major cities will join T-Mobile's revolution.

Nokia and T-Mobile have announced today a plan for future collaboration. Their goal is to accelerate the implementation and further use of internet applications on mobile devices. T-Mobile's customers will benefit from Nokia's Ovi portal for apps, music, games, maps and more while Nokia will customize their services for T-Mobile.

This partnership will generate new widgets, more web applications and will possibly lead to a better integration of a social networking like T-Mobile's My Faves. Nokia has signed similar deals with carriers like Telefonica, Vodafone and Orange and so it was just a matter of time until they got an agreement with T-Mobile. With iPhone breathing down their neck, Nokia will have to further develop their phones related applications and getting such partnerships with more carriers seems the smart way to do it.

As you can see from the screen shot, T-Mobile are preparing to launch 3G plans in New York City Tomorrow, May 1st. This is a semi-confirmed rumor by this apparent T-Mobile internal document. With 3G being hot news right now, it's no surprise carriers will try to implement it as a viable plan to more and more of their subscribers.

3G will of course increase both calls quality and data transfer as well. For now T-Mobile refers only to getting a "great call quality" but I am guessing they also mean data transfer as well. 3G Plans are to be launched in New York first but 20 more cities will follow by the end of 2008.

I wonder how T-Mobile will sell their 3G iPhones compared to AT&T?
