Get ready for 4G folks, as Verizon said it is on schedule to roll out its next-generation mobile broadband network using Long-Term Evolution technology. In an interview with Network World, Verizon Wireless CTO Tony Melone said the company has been “pleasantly surprised” by the readiness of the infrastructure, and that deployment is “looking better each…
HTC HD2, Motorola CLIQ XT and Nokia Nuron Priced for T-Mobile
A flurry of T-Mobile-bound handsets have been priced by this screenshot of internal documents. What is most striking here is that the HTC HD2 is an altogether reasonable $199.99 on contract ($449.99 with no strings), which is a stark contrast to the $349.99 T-Mo was asking for the TouchPro2 at launch. That’s a great price…
T-Mobile MOTO CLIQ XT caught in the wild, again *UPDATE*
UPDATE: This isn’t the first time we’re seeing the T-Mobile-branded CLIQ XT. Our very own hands-on photos from the MWC, show the device in T-Mobile colors. This , however, may be the first time the CLIQ XT has been caught outside of Barcelona… I guess. 😉 We did expect to see the Motorola Quench/CLIQ XT,…
Google: Nexus One raised the bar for smartphones
Google sure seems pleased with its Nexus One “superphone,” as the search giant’s Chief Financial Officer Patrick Pichette said the handset is the “benchmark setter” in the mobile world. During a Morgan Stanley conference Monday, Pichette said the Nexus One has raised the bar for the industry and showed consumers that there are legitimate alternatives…
Windows Phone 7 Series not coming to Windows Mobile phones, not even HTC HD2(?)
Sorry, HTC HD2 owners, we’ve got some bad news for you all. Microsoft has confirmed that their Windows Phone 7 Series “3 chassis” guidelines will essentially prevent most, if not all, currently available Windows Phones from getting an upgrade to WP7 when it launches later this year. That means all those Windows Mobile 6.1 and…
T-Mobile Motorola CLIQ XT (Zeppelin) features touch-sensitive body
It wasn’t too long ago that we first laid eyes (and hands) on T-Mobile Motorola CLIQ XT. The CLIQ XT (Quench, for all you non-Americans out there) was unveiled at Mobile World Congress last month in Barcelona, and the keyboard-less CLIQ makes for quite a slick successor. The refresh of Motorola’s original MotoBlur drops some weight and…
T-Mobile G1 Users Getting Android 1.6 OTA Update As We Speak
Don’t fret T-Mobile G1 users, the folks at T-Mobile have not forgotten about you. I suspected there’d be a little more Android goodness to come, and sure enough, via a leaked shot from T-Mo’s internal systems, a somewhat minor update is on its way out… It’s already started, in fact! According to the shot, starting…
T-Mobile Sets up Text Donations for Chile Aid
Calling all IntoMobile Readers! It’s time to do good by doing good again! I’m sure you’re well aware of the devastating earthquake that happened in Chile over the weekend. Not only was the earthquake a MAJOR one, but as I sat and watched the news roll in, the aftershocks were relenting. Very tragic stuff for…
MotoBlur becomes MotoBlah after T-Mobile’s OTA update for Motorola CLIQ
A recent OTA from the big pink magenta gave some Cliq users issues after the install. The update has since been pulled, and is no longer being sent out to users. While there has been no official word from either T-Mobile, or Motorola, if you are a Cliq owner, and receive the OTA, it may be…
CDMA Nexus One passes FCC, could be on Verizon soon
It looks like Verizon Wireless customers won’t have to wait long for the Nexus One, as a very similar handset just passed the FCC and it’s rocking dual-band CDMA EVDO radios. While the FCC filing doesn’t specifically out the HTC handset as Google’s “superphone,” its model number, PB99300, is very similar to that of the…
