T-Mobile, who had a terrible Q1 in which they saw nearly 100,000 customers leave their network, is set to introduce some new services this month. First, and the most appealing, is free WiFi calling. Here’s how it works: If you’re a customer with a phone that has WiFi, you can connect to your home network…
Everyone is talking about AT&T’s acquisition of T-Mobile and whether or not it’s good or bad for the industry. Most are leaning towards the former, especially given AT&T’s reputation in the wireless space since the introduction of the iPhone, and many industry leaders haven’t been shy about their stance. Dan Hesse, CEO of Sprint, for…
According to images leaked to TmoNews, it looks like T-Mobile is soon going to announce a device called the “Exhibit 4G”. It runs Android 2.3.3, which used to be the latest version until less than 2 weeks ago when 2.3.4 came out and brought with it support for video chat, has a 1.4 GHz processor…
We saw Gingerbread leak out for the T-Mobile G2X not long ago, but it wasn’t available to download. Since then, we’ve had the CyanogenMod Nightly builds to play around with, but one of T-Mobile’s official builds for the hot new handset has leaked out, and is available for your flashing pleasure. The update is rather…
T-Mobile USA Q1 2011 numbers are out, and things aren’t looking very promising for the nation’s fourth largest carrier. During the quarter, T-Mobile lost a net 99,000 subscribers, which is pretty steep compared to a net customer loss of 23,000 in the fourth quarter 2010. And perhaps the news that the carrier could be acquired…

I think it’s good that the government is taking such a long look, as this deal has the potential to have major…
The HTC Sensation 4G (model number PG58100) is officially ready for the U.S. market, having cleared the FCC’s certification process. As you probably know, T-Mobile will get to carry the HSPA+ enabled device, which we’ve already briefly tested few weeks ago. Some reports around the Interwebs suggested the PG58100 may be the HTC Doubleshot, but…
Last November we reported that AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile got together and formed a joint venture called Isis that aimed to make every new mobile phone sold near field enabled, thus turning it into a mobile wallet. Along with the 3 operators, Discover and Barclays signed up to help handle the actual financial part of…
T-Mobile has just announced, via Twitter, that they’ve just launched 21 Mbps HSPA+ in Fort Myers, Florida; Pueblo, Colorado; and Wilkes Barre-Scranton, Pennsylvania. Several seconds on Wikipedia and a little number crunching later we’ve calculated that there are now 210,000 more Americans covered by their 4G network. That’s not a lot, but it’s better than…
Verizon recently suffered an outage of their 4G LTE network that lasted a little over 24 hours.
