Coming last place can get old after awhile. Perhaps that’s what’s fueling T-Mobile’s motivations to actively search for a new U.S. partner if reports from Reuters are to be believed. Currently ranked 4th out of the “Big 4″ US cellular providers (Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, & T-Mobile), T-Mobile has for some time now [...]

Today is probably not the best day to find out you owe $2,500 in back taxes, receive a letter notifying you of your late rent payment, or even going out to spend money on a beer if you find yourself a new ex-Alltel/Verizon acquired employee. Though crying in your beer may be the only [...]

For once in my short lifetime I can finally say we here in the U.S. have a cool mobile technology before our tech god cousins in Japan. That gift is Android. The Android scene in Japan has been pretty much non-existent with NTT DoCoMo’s plans to actually release an Android device(s) remaining fairly [...]

Can something be delayed if it hasn’t even been given an “official” release date? If you can manage to work yourself around that question, focus your attention on the Sony X10. While a February 2010 date was seen floating around the page above but a few days ago, today nothing but good ‘ol [...]

For now we’ll hop aboard the rumor train as it looks might nice. The stop is a date to which we’ll see Google emerge from the Android crowd and release their own hardware. The logistics of such a move have been battled back and forth for several months as similar rumors come and [...]

Sweet, sweet action it is. No words can describe the awe I am experiencing. If rumors are correct, the Verizon bound HTC Passion/Dragon should resemble this at least a tad. Who wants four?!

The phones with SID in CDMA are available in India and might be other countries as well. The OMH inciative was started almost 2 years back. But still in US market the service providers do not agree to take the SIM enabled CDMA phones I don’t know why the FCC is allowing thyem to sale the networtk locked phones. In indai most of the CDMa phones are SIM enabled.
