Most popular T-Mobile cell phone specials Sharp T-Mobile Sidekick From: $149.99  Nokia 5610-XpressMusic Red too low to list  Motorola W490 Heather Grape You get $50.00  HTC Wing too low to list Noah goes hands-on with the newest T-Mobile music phone, the Nokia XpressMusic 5610. It's a slider phone with a focus on music: 3.2MP camera with autofocus, VGA video capture, and mobile Email and IM clients? Good. 2.5mm headphone jack? Not as good. Check it out ... Noah's got the iPhone 3G and the old iPhone - the old one's jailbroken, unlocked, and running on T-Mobile. Side by side you can see how the unlocked version works just like the new one (minus 3G). All hail the iPhone-dev team! Also, check out the T-Zones hack for T-Mobile users! Unboxing the brand-new Sidekick - the T-Mobile Sidekick 2008. It's not called the "Gekko" after all, but it does feature interchangeable shells that let you customize the look. This new Sidekick also has a 2MP camera with video capture, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and lots more worth checking out. ROKR you like a Hurricane. Moto's new ROKR E8 features a morphing keypad, touch sensitive nav wheel, and 2MP camera. It's a T-Mobile exclusive. The 5300 was a neat little music phone, but chunky. The new 5310 is sleeker, slimmer, and sexier than the original. 2MP Camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, Stereo Bluetooth, myFaves, and a 1GB microSD card. And it's cheap, too! I headed to NYC to check out T-Mobile's new 3G data network. Doug and I pit the Samsung t819 against AT&T's LG Vu in a Mobile Web speed test. I have a tip that is great for people with smart phones that are either only edge capable or on an edge only network. Using Opera Mini browser on my Nokia E71 and N95 on T-mobiles network I can browse the web faster than using AT&T or Sprints 3G networks, I've tested it. The pages load about 3 seconds faster than on the 3G networks. I have found that this is not well known among T-mobile users that I know. The HTC Dream has received FCC approval, and that quiet rumbling you hear is the sound of T-Mobile subscribers doing their happy dance across the land. HTC model "DREA100" is ready to go and appears to pack the following goodies along with its much-ballyhooed Android operating system:
T-Mobile ready 3G: GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/1900 and WCDMA 1700 bands
802.11 b/g WiFi
Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
A BlackBerry-esque jog ball
T-Mobile's... TmoNews seems to think Samsung's Tocco T919 is headed to T-Mobile USA. If so, it would certainly qualify as HOT in my book. Full touchscreen with Samsung's TouchWiz UI, 3G, 5MP Camera with flash, GPS and voice command. Hot enough for you? Hot enough for me to give it a go head-to-head against my unlocked iPhone.
We could see this before the end of the year. We could see a full-on Samsung touchscreen explosion, too,... Check out the TmoNews Friday Big Tease. That's all I'm sayin'. Especially if you've been reading my T-Mobile teaser posts of the last week or two. I'm not saying my tease and TmoNews' tease are related. I'm just sayin' if you're interested in one you're bound to be interested in the other.Oh, and that T-Mobile device I keep mentioning? Totally hot ;-) No physical QWERTY board, but still hot. Last week I made mention of an unnamed, destined for T-Mobile handset
that I'd been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of first-hand. I called
it "T-Mobile's best phone ever,"
and the speculation began in the comments section. Some folks guessed
that I'd seen an early prototype of a Google Android-based device,
perhaps the HTC Dream. Nope. I saw something else entirely. That
being said, an Android-powered HTC... T-Mobile today unveiled the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic, the sliding big brother to the 5310 that dropped a few weeks back. For $99 on contract you'll get a S40 slider phone with 3.2MP camera (with LED flash), 2.2" QVGA dsplay, 3.5mm headphone jack, and "robust music-friendly features" including a dedicated music slider thingy on the front panel. T-Mo also throws a 1GB microSD card into the box for good measure.There's no 3G support here,... Pros: 0 Cons: Wrong billing, poor communication, bad customer service, poor signal, crappy phones Summary: I changed service in March. Ntelos continued to bill me and when I called said they would fix the bill. I then got notice from an attorney's office who called them and they admitted their mistake however I still had to pay over 200 in attorney's fees or get sued. I will NEVER say good things about Ntelos. I had the service for over two years and wasn't satisfied but couldn't cancel due to contract cancellation fees. Waited my two years and changed service as fast as I could. Pros: NONE Cons: Anything and everything you can think of! Summary: When I signed up under my now ex-boyfriend, I was told there wasn't going to be a contract. He gave me responsibility over the number in January or February 2008. I was told there was ot going to be any contrat three different times in the same call!!!!! They won't fix it and I am going to the CEO of T-mobile! If anyone want's his e-mail address it's rdotson@t-mobile.com Pros: OUTSTANDING customer care!! BRAVO! Great Coverage! Cool phones! GSM Technology! And AGAIN Terrific customer care! Hotsp@Hme Service Cons: Quite a few kiddy phones. About 3 dropped calls per month. Not all rate plans come with FREE Nights/We.En. Poor mobile phone insurance... Summary: T-Mobile USA is a great company! I have been with them for 15 months and I am VERY pleased! I love my phone(Sams. T519), I love my coverage, and I ADORE my CC agents!! They are like my 2nd family. I have had at&t and Sprint and T-Mobile is WAAAY better than both! Although I would prefer Verizon Wireless. However, I dont like the insurance policys and some of the phones. Like depending on how fancy your phone is, you will pay either 70$ or 110$ to have it exchanged if you have insurance. Verizon however, makes you pay only 50$ for any phone you have insured. Also, unless your paying $79.99 for a new phone w/ service, your gonna be looking at a little "kiddy" phone. Like the Sams. T639- I would consider a Kiddy phone. The Nokia 6301-I would consider I nice mature' phone. But overall T-Mobile is a great company to be with, and if your looking for good coverage, cheap plans, and satisfaction, T-Mobile USA is the way to go!! :) Any Questions? Feel free to IM me on AIM! My screen name is "EHwurger" Pros: none Cons: no reception, worst customer service, Summary: When we moved to another area they lied and said we would get service. They wanted to clean and upgrade equipments instead.Then tried to sell us more services. You can't keep up the service you have what makes you think I want to put more money in company. Pros: none found Cons: liars, never fix problems, only interested in their monthly fees Summary: new cell company in the area some 3 years ago. Told me they were getting towers... never happened. told that there would be a local number, only number they had was a town 60 miles away so everyone had to call long distance. Was dragged along by rep till 30 days was past, so i had to pay penalty for contract on a phone that would only work on canadian towers... which they told me only to use there towers which made phone useless [quote user="bellasera"]
So here is my question; I just recently purchased an iPhone in hopes of unlocking it. I found a lot of information explaining how to unlock the iPhone, however that is not my question. My question(s) is/are this:
1. When using a T-Mobile SIM card that card needs to be paid for right (in other words it needs to be active)?Yes the sim card must be associated with a currently active account
2. Can... So here is my question; I just recently purchased an iPhone in hopes of unlocking it. I found a lot of information explaining how to unlock the iPhone, however that is not my question. My question(s) is/are this:1. When using a T-Mobile SIM card that card needs to be paid for right (in other words it needs to be active)?2. Can another number be programed onto that SIM card?3. Can I simply use wireless instead of the T-Mobile service, or is... The only way brown will ever work on a cell phone is if has a metalic pearl finish.
It really has to be glossy or else it will just look like??? well.....a turd
IMO Since when is brown a good color for a cell phone?
It looks like a Hershey candy bar [*-)]
I can't believe Microsoft paid $240 million for only 1.6% stake in facebook???
Makes me sick especially due to the fact the company is only 4 years old!!!!
Three new colors Pearl colors - blue, sunset (red) and pale gold.
Does anyone really care? The 8100 has definately jumped the shark! Does T-Mobile out source its customer service department? It all depends on who you listen to. And you have to agree to a 2 year contract, right? |
