An Android-based, HSPA+ (or “4G” if you prefer) Sidekick is coming soon to T-Mobile, along with an HSPA+ Samsung Galaxy S, said CEO Philipp Humm at a press breakfast. Aside from a launch window in the first half of the year, there weren’t too many details given, but we’ve seen plenty of the upcoming Samsung…
When T-Mobile USA decided to label their 21 Mbps HSPA+ network as “4G”, we were a little disappointed. At the time the International Telecommunications Union, the ITU, said that 4G was defined as a network technology that could pump 100 Mbps down to your handset. At least T-Mobile was somewhat closer to that elusive goal…
As hinted at in a leaked Vibrant 4G timeline yesterday and again last week, the Motorola Cliq 2 was made available today on T-Mobile. Despite the various upgrades, the Cliq 2 is still very affordable – only $99.99 on a two-year contract after rebates. The Cliq 2 improves on the original with a 1 GHz…
T-Mobile is teaming with Location Labs to introduce DriveSmart Plus, an Android app aimed at making it easier to stop testing while driving. The T-Mobile DriveSmart Plus app will enable users to set their Android phones to automatically detect when they’re driving and put the phone into “Driving Mode.” This means that all incoming calls…
The Samsung Vibrant 4G may be landing on February 23, according to some leaked internal documents. From what we’ve already seen, the new variant will add HSPA+ 21 Mbps connectivity, Android 2.2, and a front-facing camera to the original Vibrant. The rest of the specs will probably stay the same, like the 4-inch WVGA Super…
T-Mobile just dropped the price of the G2 to the low, low price of FREE – as a web-only discount, that is. If you’re in the market for one of the nicest phones that T-Mobile offers, then you can’t beat one that’s free! While the G2 is a step down in the specs-arena from the…
The only mention-worthy Android Honeycomb tablet that’s headed to the US and is not the Motorola Xoom has got to be the upcoming T-Mobile LG G-Slate. Made by LG, the G-Slate will be the first 4G Honeycomb tablet to become available, and Magenta just put up an information page up for the device, in case…
The Dell Streak 7 was announced nearly two weeks ago while we were at CES, and we caught a brief and distant look at the device during T-Mobile’s press conference. While no release dates were mentioned, it looks like we might be seeing the new tablet sooner than later. A leaked image of promotional materials…
The second major Honeycomb tablet, the T-Mobile G-Slate by LG has just hit the FCC, and its about darn time. OK, fine, maybe it hasn’t been that long, but this is certainly good news for Magenta customers hoping for an Android Honeycomb tablet of their own. The LG G-Slate is one of the two Honeycomb…
We didn’t catch the Huawei Ideos X5 at CES earlier this month, but that doesn’t make us any less excited about it. Possibly the highest-end devices we’ve seen coming from Huawei, the X5 and X6 run stock Android 2.2, which is (unfortunately) becoming more and more of a novelty these days. The X6 stopped by…
