It’s not often that the entire world waits for a US-only exclusive handset launch – an event made even more rare in that the US launch of the T-Mobile G1 ushers in a new age of Android-powered mobile phones. As we anxiously wait for T-Mobile USA to drop the Android-bomb on the US next month,…
T-Mobile kills 1 GB data soft-cap
Remember that cap that T-Mobile was going to put on folks using more than 1GB of their wireless bandwidth? Well, clearly they don’t want to tarnish their Android/G1 launch and have issued a statement withdrawing the proposed limit, while talking about why they had it there in the first place. “Our goal, when the T-Mobile…
All the big five UK Operators now involved with the IAB on Mobile Advertising
O2, T-Mobile, Vodafone, and 3 have all now signed up as members (alongside existing member Orange) of the Internet Advertising Bureau, in the UK.

T-Mobile to Offer Free Google Email on the G1?
Reports have it that T-Mobile is planning to offer up the new T-Mobile G1 (aka HTC Dream) with free access to Google’s Gmail service. Makes sense to me.

T-Mobile throttling 3G data speeds after 1GB soft-cap
We’re not surprised to hear that T-Mobile is enforcing a 1GB soft-cap on 3G data transfers. Afterall, big-dog carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint have all jumped on-board the bandwidth throttling train – it makes sense for T-Mobile to keep as much of their 3G pipeline as traffic-free as possible. It’s not something we like…

T-Mobile goes live with T-Mobile G1 web portal
T-Mobile and HTC just took the proverbial wraps off of their highly-anticipated T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream). We’re still trying to come to terms with the prospect of actually being able to put hands on the gPhone (Google Phone) in the near future, and we’re already saving up for a T-Mobile G1 of our very own.…
Android G1 missing a standard headphone jack
C’mon HTC, throw us a bone, here. You got us all excited with that Amazon MP3 store talk, and bam, you shove your proprietary ExtUSB plug down our throat. On second thought, maybe it’s a little hasty to judge – after all, it would save on room since both the USB and headphones can fit…
T-Mobile adds 3G footprint to network coverage map
With T-Mobile making a serious push to bring their rapidly growing 1700Mhz AWS 3G network up and running across the nation in anticipation of the HTC Dream hitting T-Mobile’s network as the Android-powered T-Mobile G1, it makes sense that T-Mobile would want to show customers just how extensive their 3G network really is.
