Following the US debut of Samsung's Galaxy Note on AT&T and its fledgling LTE service, it seems like the phone has been doing everything in its power to make it over to T-Mobile, as well. First, we heard about efforts from hackers to modify the phone's radio software to provide some very basic T-Mobile 3G support. Later, some leaked pictures purported to show an official T-Mobile version of the Note in the works, revealed as Samsung model number SGH-T879. Tonight, that model pops-up at the FCC, upon the publication of the phone's certification paperwork. Just like we'd expect to see, ...

We've been waiting for some sort of confirmation on when Samsung's eagerly-anticipated Galaxy S III would become available in the States, and while we still lack precise official word, tonight a newly-leaked roadmap out of T-Mobile gives us some anticipated dates for a couple upcoming models, including the GS3. According to this leak, T-Mobile will first get the Galaxy S III in blue on June 20 (the same date we've seen tipped for the phone's Canadian release), with the white version following on July 11. This is interesting for a couple reasons, first because that's precisely the opposite ...

In just a couple months' time, the 2012 Summer Olympics will be kicking-off, allowing with the requisite media frenzy that goes right along with it. Companies will be looking to capitalize on the Games in a major way, and sponsors have shelled-out big bucks to get their names affiliated with the event. Samsung is one of those companies that intends to promote its products with plenty of Olympic tie-ins, and we've already learned that its Galaxy S III is to be the official smartphone of the Games, with a special Olympic edition being made available to athletes so that they can use the ...

We've recently seen the AT&T Galaxy Note running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at CTIA and we were wondering how much longer do we have to wait until Samsung finally flips the switch on the platform refresh roll-out. They've been teasing the Premium Suite coming with the new version of Android and now Ice Cream Sandwich is rolling out, according to reports. The roll-out process, and whether it has already started or not, depends pretty much on the region you're in. Anyways, it refers to the International version (model number N7000) and it looks like users in Germany are receiving it via ...

The Galaxy Note is a great phone, but it's hampered a bit by Samsung's TouchWiz interface which seems to touch each and every aspect of the user experience. What if you want stock Ice Cream Sandwich, the way nature (and Google) intended? Fear not. If you're brave enough to root your phone, there's an extremely stable and fast CM9 alpha ROM (based on Android 4.0.4 to be exact) now available for the Galaxy Note. After several days of use, we didn't come across any bugs whatsoever. Using the Galaxy Note with ICS is refreshing, as you can see in the video here. CyanogenMod 9 Alpha for Galaxy ...

The Samsung Galaxy Note on T-Mobile is more than just a rumor or a report as, thanks to all the recent information, it became a known fact which we learned to take for granted. There were even screenshots allegedly taken from the device and now the 5.3-incher with T-Mobile branding is smiling for the camera. If the carrier logo at the top doesn't convince you then take a look at all the T-Mobile apps on there: T-Mobile Name ID, T-Mobile Mall, T-Mobile TV and My T-Mobile. There's still not information regarding pricing and availability but with these pictures already leaked those bits ...

Of course you can do some magic and hack the Galaxy Note to work on T-Mobile by adding a different radio but the SGH-T879, Magenta's own (and highly anticipated) "phablet" should be just around the corner, if the rumors and reports are to be believed. The screenshot above was allegedly taken off of a T-Mobile Galaxy Note testing unit. Whether this is the real deal or not is yet unknown so treat this with your usual dose of skepticism. The model number is SGH-T879 and seems to run Android 4.0.3 -- which is missing even from the international Note, the official way -- with build IML74K.UVLD3 ...

Sprint sure seems to be putting in quite the effort lately to make sure its subscribers have access to some of the most popular smartphone models. The Galaxy Nexus may be a welcome, if not slightly late addition, but the announcement of HTC EVO 4G LTE was an especially nice treat, stealing away a bit of AT&T's One X thunder. That's only the start of things, though, and there's a new discovery that's just been made that may suggest another high-profile Android is headed to Sprint. It's not being prominently featured, but mouse-over a certain thumbnail on Sprint's website and you'll see what ...

Q2, that's what Samsung told the world related to the official Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Galaxy Note, including the "Premium Suite". There were no other details and now we hear that the phone on Bell will get its ICS treat with a delay. April 2012 was the time frame scheduled (estimated, really) by a leaked Bell document but it appears that the official refresh will be delayed until May. Another leaked Bell internal document says: "please note that estimated release month for the Samsung Galaxy Note is May 2012". It should definitely have something to do with the official update ...

Samsung promised an official Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Galaxy Note along with a Premium Suite that should be landing in the second quarter of the year. While you're waiting for that, there's a leak of what appears to be an in-development Samsung official ROM. The leak is for the SGH-I717, meaning it's the AT&T variant of the "phablet" and it is rather strange that we're seeing a carrier variant get a leak before the unlocked international version (or should we say finally?). Heading over to the source link you are able to download an executable file which is really a one-click ...

On December 29, Samsung celebrated more than one million Galaxy Note units shipped globally. Fast forward to today, Samsung is proud to announce that the 5.3-inch "monster" sold five million units in five months. However, five months after its announcement and five million units later, the popular device still hasn't seen its official Ice Cream Sandwich update. Samsung is already teasing the platform refresh together with the "Premium Suite" for the second quarter of the year but we wish it would be here already. Source: Samsung Thanks: Min

A few hours ago, we learned form HTC that users on AT&T were about to get Ice Cream Sandwich on their Vivid smartphones. Since then, AT&T has released its own statement, confirming today's availability of ICS for the Vivid, and giving us an official list of the phones it plans to see upgraded to Android 4.0. Much like the list released by Verizon at the beginning of the month, we've already heard a lot of this from manufacturers, but it's reassuring to see things backed-up by carriers, as we all know how much influence they have over whether or not our phones get updates. In addition to ...

No, it's not Android 4.0, even though it could have been given the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S II recently received its Ice Cream Sandwich treat. There were recent reports of ICS being delayed for the Note but that doesn't stop Samsung from further improving the phone-tablet hybrid (hate the 'phablet' word). The package includes a new and improved radio as well as some updates to the Samsung software. According to reports, the video editor application now handles files shot with various frame rates better and the "fade" effect no longer produces artifacts. Such improvements are always a ...
