T-Mobile announced on Twitter that it will be holding an “Insomnia Sale” for the G2 and the Sidekick 4G. From the looks of things, it’s a pretty damn good sale if you can stay awake for it. You can pick up either device for free if you sign a new, two-year contract. So if you…
The best handset for T-Mobile at the moment, the G2X, may have just been pulled due to quality issues. From random reboots to light leakage, T-Mobile’s dual-core phone may be down for the count.

Sprint, who has been very opposed to the AT&T and T-Mobile deal since its announcement, now wants California and West Virginia to follow Louisiana’s lead in putting the deal under some scrutiny.
