Samsung and T-Mobile have gone official with the Samsung SGH-T539 – the Samsung Beat. We had leaked info on this quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) clamshell phone a while back, and it’s finally hit the market – although it’s really no cause for celebration. That is, unless you like slightly awkward-looking flip-phones with illuminated green-ring speakers on…

We gotta hand it to BGR. The HTC Juno hasn’t even been announced yet and Boy Genius got his hands on a T-Mobile-branded T-Mobile Shadow – in its retail box. It seems that the T-Mobile Shadow may be coming to the US with a VGA screen and we hear that the display is clearly visible…

What’s taking T-Mobile’s 3G rollout so long – slow, bumbling government, that’s what
Leave it to governmental agencies and bureaucratic sludge to gunk-up the 3G-rollout process for T-Mobile. As you’ll recall, T-Mobile spent a good chunk of change ($4.2 billion) to acquire 120 spectrum licenses for the 1700Mhz frequency spectrum – with the intention of using the spectrum to launch their 3G network. So what’s taking them so…

First pics of the AT&T branded HTC Kaiser TyTn II – the AT&T Tilt is so close we can taste it
The HTC Kaiser (aka TyTn II, P4550, AT&T 8925 Tilt) is the “holy grail” of smartphone-ing. It packs the “perfect” feature set that has eluded mobile fanatics for some time now – and the AT&T subsidized version of the Kaiser is almost here. The European HTC Kaiser TyTn II has already launched, so we already…
T-Mobile to start selling Sidekick LX on October 24
It turns out that DJ AM’s T-Mobile launch party event may be celebrating the launch of the Sidekick LX. It could just be coincidence, but HipTop3.com got their hands on an alleged advertising flyer that indicates the launch of the Sidekick LX on October 24 – just a week after DJ AM is scheduled to…
Could the HTC Kaiser be coming to T-Mobile USA’s 1700Mhz 3G network?
Well, at first glance, we’d be inclined to say no. But, upon closer examination of the HTC P4550 Kaiser’s FCC documentation, we’d have to give the possibility a resounding maybe. You see, the FCC documentation includes a users manual for the “Holy Grail” of mobile phones – and makes mention of both T-Mobile and 1700Mhz…
