by Joe Levi | April 18, 2013 7:31 AMRead OnT-Mobile has been my cellular carrier since before they were T-Mobile. Yes, I'm a VoiceStream guy! Anyone remember those days? I picked VoiceStream because (1) they were all digital, (2) they used an international standard, (3) I could switch to any other phone just by swapping the SIM card, and (4) they were less expensive than anyone else. They also had fairly limited coverage and you couldn't stray far from big cities or Interstate highways without losing signal. That was fine with me, I was covered 90% of the time. Since then "regular" phones have become "smart phones" and our cellular ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 17, 2013 7:00 PMRead OnWatch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about Samsung's official launch in all US carriers and their pre-order and launch dates. Then we talk about some leaked photos of probably design changes in Samsung's design for next year. Then we move to the Motorola X Phone and the probability of getting 20+ color options when ordering the device. Nokia is next as we find some leaked photos of the possible Aluminum Catwalk design and the EOS camera. We end today's show by talking about the HTC 606w photos that were leaked and what to expect from this device. All this and more after the break. ...

by Stephen Schenck | April 17, 2013 10:57 AMRead OnIt's been about a month now since Samsung's big New York Galaxy S 4 launch event, which means that it's finally time for details on the phone's US retail availability to start arriving. We just saw AT&T get started with pre-orders, and today Samsung follows up with its own announcement of the GS4's launch on carriers in the States, joined by a few of those companies chiming-in with their own details on just when their customers will be able to get their hands on the Android flagship. Samsung itself doesn't really have anything new to say in today's announcement. It goes over the ...

by Anton D. Nagy | April 16, 2013 9:31 AMRead OnAT&T's Samsung Galaxy S 4 pre-orders went officially live today and now Samsung has changed the status of the Verizon, and T-Mobile flavors to "coming soon". Those who want to grab one on US cellular can start placing their pre-orders right now, following the source link below. It goes for $199.99 and both black and white versions are available, in the 16GB format. Of course, we're looking at the Snapdragon 600-powered version, just like in the case of AT&T (and the other two carrier flavors below). The Verizon Galaxy S 4 has model number SCH-I545 while the one for T-Mobile ...

by Anton D. Nagy | April 16, 2013 3:16 AMRead OnThe HTC One on T-Mobile will be available on April 24, if the information in this leaked document is accurate. It references "select Retail & Branded locations" -- as well as online -- where personnel will probably wear, between April 24 and 28, HTC branded t-shirts to promote the device. The image below purportedly depicts the retail box for the T-Mobile HTC One and according to reports, the logo on the box is about the only branding you'll see on the phone, aside from the usual carrier bloatware, which is always nice (as we emphasized in the case of the Sprint variant). As far as ...

by Stephen Schenck | April 15, 2013 3:12 PMRead OnTwo hot new Androids are planning their descent on the United States: HTC's One and Samsung's Galaxy S 4. We just got a look at what might be the dates you can expect the GS4 to go up for sale, but now we turn our attention back to the One for a moment, upon a couple new pieces of evidence showing up to reveal when T-Mobile will get the Android. First up, there's a planning diagram that mentions T-Mobile locations featuring the HTC One putting out demo units as of April 24. That's a start, and normally we'd take that information and tuck it away as we kept the date in mind, looking for ...

by Anton D. Nagy | April 15, 2013 7:56 AMRead OnIf you're waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S 4 to reach your carrier you might be interested in this leak as there is currently no information out there (that is solid enough to consider) to get you through the waiting. We're looking at a leaked Staples store training document that seems to have the answer for US carriers and their S 4 devices. AT&T: April 26. T-Mobile: May 1. Verizon: May 30. Those are the dates but there's also a bolded word right above them: tentative. However, the information seems to match previous rumors and device reservations, according to the document above, ...

by Stephen Schenck | April 12, 2013 8:05 PMRead OnToday may have ushered-in the intriguing Facebook Home, as well as brought us the HTC First on AT&T, but for another carrier there was a different big reason to be excited, upon the arrival of a long-overdue guest; at T-Mobile, today marked the first time the carrier was able to offer the iPhone completely above board, with Apple's approval and full support for the T-Mobile cell network. Sure, T-Mobile is seriously late to the party here, but will its tardiness dampen the phone's sales outlook? Initial reports suggest that couldn't be farther from the truth. T-Mobile's CMO describes ...

Then we talk about Samsung's new ad campaign for the Galaxy S 4, with a different twist to last year. Then we go through a new Google Giveaway of nexus devices, with a very ironic strategy to allow you to participate. Later we talk about the iPad 5 display leaks, and what this means to the next flagship tablet from Apple. We end today's show talking about Office for iOS and Android, and the bad news behind the probable new release date. All this and more after the break. Stories: - ...

by Stephen Schenck | April 10, 2013 12:46 PMRead OnT-Mobile finally gets an iPhone of its own this Friday, letting Apple fans enjoy the full speeds of the carrier's network for the first time ever. As such, T-Mobile is really invested in making this launch a big success, and that means showing the other carriers that, even late to the table, it can still sell a whole mess of iPhones. To help draw customers, it's offering a trade-in deal for previous iPhone owners, but is this promotion really a good deal? Normally, the 16GB iPhone 5 for T-Mobile will run you $100 outright, and demand monthly $20 payments for two years. If you trade-in an ...

by Stephen Schenck | April 9, 2013 5:36 PMRead OnT-Mobile's been dancing around the Nokia Lumia 521 for months now. The carrier variant of the budget-priced Lumia 520, announced alongside the 720 back at the Mobile World Congress, is coming to T-Mobile at some point – that much, the carrier confirmed in February. At the time, it had nothing to say about availability other than that specifics would arrive "at a later date." Since then, we've seen new pics of the 521 leak, and while T-Mobile has yet to get down into the details of just when you'll finally be able to pick up a 521, it has finally set a launch window, confirming that sales ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 7, 2013 5:25 PMRead OnIt's been already a couple of weeks since the launch of both the Sony Xperia Z and Xperia ZL at CES in Las Vegas, and still no US carriers have confirmed their adoption of either. Kind of ironic if you consider the fact that Sony chose the US to launch their new handsets and not MWC in Barcelona as everybody else does. Other than on AT&T, it's always hard to see a Sony handset reach US shores, but leaked photos could prove a complete change in the way Sony does business in the US. These photos are of a Sony Xperia Z with T-Mobile branding at the bottom, which could mean that you might ...

Then we talk about the Nokia Catwalk, and the good and bad things revealed on its specs. Then it's pre-order day starting with T-Mobile USA bringing their iPhone 5, then Samsung Bringing their Galaxy Note 8.0 to the UK. Then we've got BlackBerry Q10 pre-orders in the UK followed by some R-Series rumors that underwhelm. We end today's show talking about HTC, first because of their pre-orders on AT&T and Sprint, and second because their Developer Edition is now ...

by Stephen Schenck | April 5, 2013 3:13 PMRead OnIf you've ever shopped around for the best deals on wireless service in the US, T-Mobile's offerings have no doubt caught your eye. Even before the company got started with its low-price, no-contract, "UNcarrier" plans, it had some great pre-paid options, including one with unlimited data that was a mere $30 a month. This week, the carrier announced a deal that blows even that one out of the water, bringing you wireless data for just $15 a month. Unfortunately, there's one very big catch. T-Mobile won't sell you this plan for a smartphone, a tablet, or even a WiFi hotspot – unless that ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 5, 2013 7:29 AMRead OnToday is historic for many people at T-Mobile. It's been almost six years since the first generation iPhone has launched, newer devices have already seen the light of day in regional carriers, and it's not until today that the fourth largest carrier in the US gets their own. Starting today, the iPhone 5 is ready for pre-order on T-Mobile, and it'll be available either at your doorstep or nearest storefront on April 12th. The iPhone 5 launches on T-Mobile as one of their first LTE devices, joined by the Galaxy Note II and BlackBerry Z10, and later by the Galaxy S 4 and HTC One. All three ...
