T-Mobile is going to be blowing up in 2011 with HSPA+ expansion – perhaps even double the current theoretical speeds we’re not seeing – and along with it will come some pretty sweet new devices. There are already smartphones that support the super fast data network, like the G2 and myTouch 4G, and USB modems,…
Some pictures from a Sony Ericsson test account have been found on Picasa which are not only of an unfamiliar phone, but are taken by an unannounced handset as well.

The graphical outline suggests the 7-inch Android tablet from Dell will keep both the Streak branding and the naming convention of the original Dell Streak 5. The 7-inch tablet will also include a Gorilla…
Wind has been pushing their BlackBerry Bold 9700 and Pearl 9100 in a BOGO deal the last couple of weeks, which now seems to have been mostly to make room for the upgraded Bold 9780.

It’s been nearly a year since the Apple iPad has been announced, so we’re expecting the next generation model to be unveiled in the coming weeks. Now is as good a time as any to start speculating and gathering information on what the next-gen iPad, which we’ll call the iPad 2 for now, might have.…
