Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
T-Mobile is being accused of deception, lying and betrayal. OK, maybe that’s a little much, but in California there are many who aren’t too thrilled about its “unlimited data” advertisements that come along with the myTouch Slide 3G and the Nexus One. However, T-Mobile is capping data usage at 5GB or 10GB before it cuts…
Our smartphones are little computers that fit in our pockets, but we’re still so used to thinking of them as just phones that we sometimes forget that these little things are susceptible to viruses, too. Today, a Trojan virus for Android has been discovered by Kaspersky Lab. The virus is named Trojan-SMS.ANdroidOS.FakePlayer.a and has apparently…

It looks like a good chunk of info surfaced regarding Verizon Wireless’ hardware plans for the end of 2010 and 2011. There are also some plans for 2012, too. Now, we’ve seen a small deal about Verizon’s LTE plans for the next few years, but info on hardware was pretty scant. Now it looks like…
Search within the depths of your memory if the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 doesn’t ring a bell because it’s soon coming to AT&T. Remember that handset now? The one Sony Ericsson unveiled in November of last year? The handset that is virtually ancient compared to the Samsung Captivate and iPhone 4 on the same carrier?…
It’s been an incrementally painful journey for those of you waiting for the Motorola Droid 2, and it’s largely thanks to Best Buy leaks. First, there were the pictured cases online which revealed the fact that the mega-retailer would be carrying the Verizon smartphone. No surprises there. Then cases actually started arriving, which signaled the…
