Sprint CEO Hesse: AT&T / T-Mobile deal will ‘stifle’ US wireless market

Sprint chief Dan Hesse today took aim against the pending AT&T and T-Mobile deal that could radically affect the US wireless landscape. Hesse took to the keynote stage at the ClimateOne conference in San Francisco to speak out against the proposed AT&T buyout of the Duetsche Telekom-owned T-Mobile, which we first caught wind of just before CTIA 2011 Orlando. Fittingly, Hesse chose the day that the FCC kicks off its review of the “AT&T-Mobile” deal to formally announce that Sprint is unequivocally opposed to AT&T’s proposed buyout of T-Mobile USA. … Read more

REVIEW: Verizon HTC Thunderbolt – Screaming along at 4G LTE speeds (at a cost)

There’s no doubt that “4G” networks and devices are the hotness right now, and Verizon’s first 4G LTE smartphone capable of bringing real mobile broadband speeds to the palm of your hand – the HTC Thunderbolt – is about as hot as it gets (for the moment, at least).

Hands-on: Sprint’s Samsung Nexus S 4G – The Gingerbread phone with 4G WiMAX

The Nexus S, made by Samsung, drew some initial praise for its slick Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS and its unique NFC (Near Field Communications) capabilities, but it’s so far been limited to the T-Mobile USA network. Sprint is changing all that with their own Nexus S 4G, and, as you might have guessed by the phone’s model name, it sports 4G WiMAX support. That means the Nexus S 4G will be able to pull down faster data speeds than its forebear, the original T-Mobile Nexus S (which didn’t support HSPA+, … Read more
