Amazon launches Amazon Wireless, selling mobile plans
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Hot Deals, Internet, Wireless / WiFi
Amazon has launched Amazon Wireless beta, an online storefront where you can purchase voice and data plans from AT&T and Verizon, with T-Mobile and Sprint also coming soon. Normally, we wouldn’t give something like this a second look, but it’s Amazon, and they will be pointing consumers to this wireless portal from within the main Amazon site. The nice thing about Amazon Wireless is that you can compare offerings from the carriers in one easy-to-use spot, rather than visiting 2-4 different sites. Even better, all that mail-in rebate stuff goes out the window if you end up buying your mobile phone and plan on Amazon Wireless - all discounts are instant. Amazon Wireless beta is open now, and currently has over 130 phones up for sale.

T-Mobile is already working on its next Google phone. So far a million of their G1s have sold since October. The myTouch 3G is set to debut in August. The new phone has a touchscreen but no keyboard like the G1 and will be priced at $199.00 with a 2 year contract. The software is free as Google would love to have Android for all phones. Both Verizon and Motorola seem to agree as they each have products in the works.

iPhone 3GS internal specs revealed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video
Okay, we all know that the iPhone 3GS is faster. Heck, it’s the fastest iPhone Apple has ever made. They keep telling us that, but they haven’t exactly told us why that is. Luckily, T-Mobile Netherlands isn’t being so secretive, as they’ve posted the internal specs that we’ve been wanting to hear about. The iPhone 3GS packs a 600MHz CPU and rocks 256MB of RAM. The current iPhone 3G only has a 412MHz CPU and 128MB RAM. Obviously, a 33% faster processor and 50% more RAM is what is helping to make this thing fly, but don’t forget that the iPhone 3G S also has a newer, more powerful graphics chip in the PowerVR SGX, which supports OpenGL ES 2.0. All in all, yeah, faster.

T-Mobile Sells 1 Million G1 Smartphones
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories:
T-Mobile is proud to announce that they have sold more than a million of their Android-powered G1 smartphones in about 6 months. Launched in October, the G1 slider with QWERTY keyboard and Google services obviously is worth the bucks that they spent on the ad campaign. Although the Storm only took half that time to reach a million and the iPhone merely a weekend, we expect that the good news will spur on Samsung, Sony Ericcson and Motorola to hop on the Android bandwagon.

T-Mobile G1 unboxing gallery
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Galleries, Handhelds
We’re in the midst of getting our T-Mobile G1 reviewed, but in the meantime, we wanted to show off the looks and unboxing experience of the phone. Obviously, the G1 is the first publicly available phone that is based on the Google Android platform, and if you are on T-Mobile, we think it’s the phone to have. This is obviously T-Mobile’s answer to the iPhone, and it’s good to see that other companies are trying to innovate and catch up, with the aim of putting out great phones. With Android, the G1 software is even more open than that of the iPhone OS. We’ll get into all that in our review of the phone, but for now enjoy the shots in our T-Mobile G1 unboxing gallery.
You can pick up a G1 at the T-Mobile site, we even recommended the G1 in our Holiday Gift Guide.

Holiday Gift Guide 2008: T-Mobile G1
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250
We’ve been messing with our T-Mobile G1 for a few days now, in preparation for a full review, but we are confident enough in the device to list it here in our Holiday Gift Guide. The T-Mobile G1 is the first phone on the market that features Google’s Android OS. Along with the Google love, the G1 features 3G speeds, a physical QWERTY keyboard, and a 3 megapixel camera. The software itself features all the goodness you’d expect from Google, meaning integration with Gmail, Google Docs, YouTube, and Google Maps with the super-cool Street View Compass mode. There’s also a store that allows you to download apps, games, and the like. If you want to get someone a smartphone, and they are on T-Mobile, this is the one to get. You can pick it up from T-Mobile for $179.

T-Mobile’s Motorola ZN5 Going For Free This Weekend
Posted by Patrick Phelps Categories: Cameras, Cell Phones, Hot Deals
Remember Motorola‘s 5-megapixel ZN5 cameraphone? It seems that T-Mobile REALLY wants you to have one: they just announced that beginning on Black Friday and going through Sunday they’ll be offering a $100 mail-in rebate on the $99 phone (with a two-year contract). Free is an amazing price considering you’re getting a 5-megapixel autofocus quad-band phone which includes a xenon flash and WiFi capability. We’re pretty sure these guys will fly off the shelves – at least for one weekend.

Nokia Recalls 5610 XpressMusic Handsets
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cell Phones, Music, Rumors
Rumor has it Nokia has announced that they are no longer offering their 5610 XpressMusic handset and will recall all of its existing inventory from stores and warehouses. This was prompted when a manufacturing problem affecting the phone’s display was detected. If you have one of the models, you can get a replacement of a 5310 or 6301 at any T-Mobile phone store plus a $25.00 or $50.00 credit from the company as a way of apologizing. While we are not completely convinced that this has gone past the rumor stage, we did notice that T-Mobile lists them as “temporarily out of stock.”
