Looking to get your hands on an AT&T BlackBerry Curve 8900? Well, you’re in luck. Amazon is clearing out the AT&T (NYSE: T) BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Curve 8900 for FREE (plus a penny)! As long as you’re new to AT&T and willing to put up with AT&T’s network for two years, Amazon will trade you a new BlackBerry Curve 8900 for your 1-cent piece. It really doesn’t get any better than that. Amazon never ceases to amaze us with their carrier-busting prices.
Current AT&T customers can also get in on the discount fun. Amazon is offering the Curve 8900 for $50 to AT&T customers willing to upgrade and extend their contract for another two years. And, Amazon will waive the $36 activation fee through October 26th, so it’s in your interest to act fast.
If you’ve been using your jailbroken and modified iPhone 3G/3GS as a tethered 3G modem and you’ve updated to the latest iPhone 3.1.2 OS, you’re probably well aware that Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) has killed the iPhone tethering hack. Even if you updated to iPhone 3.1.2 OS through the Dev Team’s PwnageTool 3.1.4, iPhone tethering is a no-go. Fortunately, that’s something the iPhone Dev Team won’t stand for. EngadgetMobile has posted a tweet from Dev Team developer musclenerd which links to a workaround/patch that should allow advanced users (seriously, don’t mess around if you don’t know what you’re doing) to get iPhone tethering back in working order.
The advanced iPhone tethering workaround probably won’t do most users any good at the moment. It’s all very technical and involves changes to the baseband – something we’re too scared to touch ourselves. But, there’s still hope that the iPhone Dev Team can bake the workaround into future PwnageTool releases so that lay iPhone users like us can get iPhone tethering back online.
There’s also mention of a new workaround that will enable MMS on the original iPhone (iPhone 2G) – do with that as you will, but remember it’s at your own risk.
The Jabra STONE has been officially announced as the Bluetooth headset maker’s latest bit of noise-canceling kit. Those of you following the STONE will be happy to hear that Jabra’s latest Bluetooth headset isn’t actually the stone/rock that Jabra sent out to the media as a publicity grab. It’s actually a new Bluetooth headset that literally hides from plain view by tucking itself behind your ear – a design Jabra calls “revolutionary” (we call it “cool”). And, in keeping with its namesake, the Jabra STONE comes with a compact portable charger that looks like a river stone.
At $130, the Jabra STONE Bluetooth headset isn’t cheap. But, with its hideaway design, wireless portable charger, Noise Blackout Extreme technology, A2DP support and touch-sensitive controls, the Jabra STONE might just be worth it. It’s the first headset to do away with the traditional microphone stub by hiding the dual-microphones in the headset’s body, so you can actually wear the Bluetooth headset in public without drawing too much attention to yourself.
Jabra says they’ll be launching the STONE exclusively through AT&T (NYSE: T) retail stores starting November 8th.
It seems the HTC Hero won’t be a Sprint (NYSE: S) only thing forever. PhoneArena has been tipped that the Android-powered device will find its way to AT&T (NYSE: T) at some point in early 2010. That means the Christmas season is out, and the carrier will most likely focus on the iPhone sales, and jump into Google (NSDQ: GOOG)’s mobile OS next year. And I was wondering what AT&T plans to do regarding Android. Ignoring it forever is not a valid option, we all know that. Anyway, we’ll certainly follow all Android-related announcements and rumors and keep you folks well informed. Stay tuned…
If you’ve been hankering for the HTC Tilt2 on AT&T (NYSE: T) since the announcement earlier this month, wait no longer – you can now pick up the Windows Mobile full-QWERTY slider for $299.99 after rebates and on contract. If you haven’t had a chance to check out our review, the Tilt2 is packing a 3.5″ WVGA resistive touchscreen, 3.2 megapixel camera, and, of course, Windows Mobile 6.5 with a TouchFlo user interface. If you’re a media junkie, the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack might turn you off, but for the heavy messengers who need a big keyboard and a lot of options for apps, the Tilt2 will likely do the trick.
The Motorola Droid (codename: Sholes/Tao) has been seen time and time again with Verizon (NYSE: VZ) branding, so it’s clear that it’ll be launching with CDMA internals. But, thanks to a newly discovered FCC filing, we’re learning today that there’s a distinct possibility we’ll be seeing a GSM variant coming down the pipeline in the near future. Unfortunately, it probably won’t be coming to AT&T (NYSE: T). Or, T-Mobile (NYSE: DT).
The Motorola (NYSE: MOT) Sholes passed through the FCC in CDMA guise recently, obviously on its way to Verizon. But, today’s FCC filing shows a variant of the Android phone bearing GSM frequency support. But, the GSM Sholes doesn’t seem to support the 3G frequencies that AT&T uses. It doesn’t even support the 3G bands for T-Mobile’s 3G network.
We’re not sure if Motorola is just covering their bases, or if they think it’s acceptable to push a non-3G Sholes onto American shores, but we’ll be keeping a close eye on any upcoming GSM Sholes details.
Now that the dust has settled from the initial announcement that Rock Band is headed to the iPhone, it’s time for EA Mobile to keep this hype train going. What better way than to offer a teaser trailer.
As is customary with almost all “teaser trailers”, you’ll see very little gameplay footage here. For the most part, you’ll be watching a video of four people who are stuck in a boardroom fantasizing about performing in front of an audience in some club. I’m curious as to what kind of office allows a woman to dress the way she does in the video and for a black gentleman to be sitting in on a meeting while holding drumsticks.
If you really want to get a good idea of how Rock Band iPhone plays, check back after the break for our hands-on demo video.
What started off as an FCC probe into the banning of Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Voice apps from the iPhone AppStore has exploded into a drama-filled soap opera that has Google and AT&T (NYSE: T) trading tit for tat. The latest salvo was fired by AT&T and is aimed at undermining Google’s claim that it blocks certain numbers from its Google Voice service in order to keep costs down (or free, as the case may be). In yet another letter submitted to the FCC, AT&T argues that Google Voice isn’t just blocking access to sex chat-lines and free conference call services, it’s also blocking numbers that lead to ambulance services, doctors, nuns and more. Big Blue wants the FCC to regulate Google’s web services.
But, before we get into the nitty gritty, let’s lay down some background.
Dell’s Android wares are coming to the US! Following months of speculation surrounding a US-bound Android smartphone from Dell and the launch of the Dell Mini 3i in China, we finally have confirmation that Dell’s Android hardware will hit the US in the first quarter of 2010. That confirmation comes straight from none other than Michael Dell, who runs the company that bears his namesake.
Android is gaining steam as a considerable threat to the iPhone. Dell’s entry into the US Android market is only going to fuel the fire beneath the iPhone’s feet. Unfortunately, we’re not privy to any pricing, launch, or hardware details just yet. But, all signs point to AT&T (NYSE: T) as Dell’s carrier of choice for its US Android launch.
We’ll be looking for the Dell Android phone at CES 2010 early next year!
Don’t let the name fool you. Dungeon Hunter has you hunting more than just dungeons. In fact, you’re not hunting dungeons at all, instead you’ll be hunting various enemies that just happened to be in a dungeon. I know, I know, that idea just probably blew your mind, but trust me when I say it’s for the best.
Dungeon Hunter is Gameloft’s attempt at the hack-n-slash RPG genre that has gone nearly untouched in the iPhone gaming market. The question is: Does the hack-n-slash RPG genre work on the iPhone platform and how well did Gameloft’s Dungeon Hunter?
