by Stephen Schenck | April 25, 2013 3:16 PMRead OnNokia's Lumia 521 is coming to T-Mobile. We heard earlier this month that the phone would launch sometime in May, and at the time speculated a little about the smartphone's pricing. After all, this whole UNcarrier thing is new for T-Mobile, and we're still learning what to expect. We guessed that maybe it might go for $50 upfront on the carrier's installment plan, followed by some pretty low payments themselves. Well, today we finally get the details about the launch we were waiting for, and the pricing is even a little hard for us to believe: the Lumia 521 will sell for just about $150. ...

by Stephen Schenck | April 24, 2013 10:56 AMRead OnThe time has finally come for the Samsung Galaxy S 4 to start descending upon US shores, and from the announcements we heard from carriers last week, everything seemed to be all ready to go. We first started getting hints that carriers were feeling some uncertainty as to just when they'd be able to get the GS4 into customer hands late last week, after seeing AT&T start to play with the date for its own GS4 pre-order availability. While it was ultimately able to confirm that it was actually getting its GS4s out a little early, the situation isn't quite as good elsewhere, and this ...

by Anton D. Nagy | April 19, 2013 8:38 AMRead OnHTC just announced the US availability of the HTC One -- and T-Mobile's version was still wearing a "coming soon" label -- but the phone popped up on the carrier's website for everyone who wants to pre-order it. We're seeing the silver, 32GB version, going for $99.99 with a monthly payment of $20 for two years or $579.99 outright. Additionally, if you pre-order yours now, T-Mobile throws in a free car dock - for a limited time. We've already managed to take a look at the retail packaging of the phone -- and yes, the T-Mobile version, just like the Sprint one, comes unbranded (though with ...

by Stephen Schenck | April 18, 2013 3:47 PMRead OnBack when Nokia's first Windows Phone 8 models were announced, T-Mobile got itself a special version of the Lumia 820, its own Lumia 810. That phone is only about six months old at this point, but it looks like it's already being put out to pasture, with a new leak marking the handset as approaching its EOL date. According to the document, T-Mobile is assigning the 810 end-of-life status as of next month, but before then you should start to see it replaced with the Lumia 521. Just as T-Mobile got itself a custom 820 with the 810, the 521 is its version of the 520. Now, something's a little ...

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 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.

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 ...
