In case you haven’t heard, T-Mobile made 900 peoples’ lives a little more bleak today. A new memo sent around the company states that in order to properly realign the company and reposition it as a true contender in the cellular sphere alongside AT&T, Sprint and Verizon, more job cuts would have to be made. Beginning this week, roughly 900 more T-Mobile employees will be pink slipped, which is for sure, sad. But let me tell you what’s more sad —...

If you fall within the geographic boundaries of a “major city” (by O2 UK’s standards), you’re going to enjoy the mobile web via 3G a lot better. The carrier has confirmed that they are pushing out a new form of DC-HSPA that will push download speeds up to 42 Mbps. (This HSPA+ push is in addition to the LTE push that is currently sweeping around Europe, too.) All you’ll need to take advantage of the super speedy network is a newer generation...

Verizon has had an on again/off again love affair with “global” phones – phones that carry CDMA support for the U.S. and a GSM radio for frequencies abroad. More often than not, however, the GSM radio is only supportive of GSM frequencies not used in the U.S. making any hackery to unlock and run on a local GSM carrier out of the question. But as it turns out, the newer generation of silicon inside of specific VZW phones is truly global, supporting foreign...
