T-Mobile had a solid third quarter with 137,000 new net subscribers thanks to a strong performance with its smartphones like the Android-powered G2. The fourth-largest carrier now has 33.8 million customers, which is nearly 60 million customers behind AT&T and Verizon. Sprint is the closest competitor with about 49 million subscribers. Diving into the T-Mobile…
It looks like the claims of T-Mobile that it has the largest 4G network aren’t going over well with the competitors, as Sprint is now talking all sorts of trash. “Halloween is over – it’s time for T-Mobile to stop dressing up like their favorite super hero – Sprint 4G,” Sprint 4G President Matt Carter…
Anxiously awaiting theOTA update for your T-Mobile G2? Well, there’s a manual way to do it, but if you used the Google Goggles Remover that we posted yesterday, the update won’t install correctly. Thankfully, there is a fix for this and it’s easy enough as long as you read the instructions. If you HAVE NOT…
Last night, T-Mobile taught us the difference between 4G the technology, and “4G” the marketing term. The former actually means something in mobile technology, and is clearly defined by the International Telecommunications Union. The latter is the term you use when you need to entice more users to flock to your network by offering negligible…
T-Mobile G2 owners are so lucky this week. First, your phones magically became 4G devices over night – literally – and now it looks like your Android smartphones will be getting UMA capabilities, too. Starting tomorrow, T-Mobile will be rolling out an update that will enable Wi-Fi calling on your handsets. It’s perfect for those…
A few days ago we saw T-Mobile ads that showed its intent to market its HSPA+ network as the largest 4G network in America. Tonight, the carrier is beginning its aggressive campaign to let America know that its network is just as fast – if not faster than – Sprint’s WiMax network. T-Mobile really seems…
We knew T-Mobile USA was going to ramp up their “America’s Largest 4G Network” advertising campaign tonight to herald the benefits of HSPA+, so it’s not too surprising to see T-Mobile posting a new ad for the myTouch 4G on their YouTube account. In the ad, entitled “Piggyback,” T-Mobile harps on the “I’m a Mac/iPhone”…
We caught a glimpse of T-Mobile ads earlier this week that showed its intent to market its HSPA+ network as “America’s Largest 4G Network.” The carrier has now expanded to 75 markets and will launch a new smartphone and netbook compatible with its high-speed network. Whether you agree that it’s true 4G technology or not…
One thing many people may have noticed about their shiny new G2 is that the Google Goggles application never updated correctly. When you try to update the app, it returns a “update not successful” notification, and you’re stuck on the version it shipped with. Well, that’s now a thing of the past as we now…
Opera Mini is the world’s most popular mobile browser, and for good reason, too. Back when I was still sporting a Nokia 6682 with its antiquated version of Symbian and the Helio Ocean, it was my mobile browser of choice. It was basically the only decent mobile browser before Safari came along. And now Opera…
