T-Mobile Officially Announces Its Own Galaxy Note To Be Made Available "In The Coming Weeks"

Posted by in Galaxy Note (GT-N7000), News, T-Mobile

While Verizon tries to figure out how to get people to want the Optimus Vu, T-Mobile has just announced that everyone's favorite phablet – the Samsung Galaxy Note – will be available on the magenta network "in the coming weeks." This isn't exactly a concrete timeframe, nor does it align with previous rumors of a July 11th release. It will also be interesting to see whether Sammy does indeed announce a Galaxy Note 2 in Berlin in accordance with recent rumblings.

That being said, a T-Mo connected Galaxy Note has been anticipated by many users for a while now, and T-Mobile's version of the device appears to deliver all of the things current Note users have come to love, from the huge 5.3" Super AMOLED display to the famous S-Pen.

T-Mobile Galaxy S Blaze 4G Will Be Updated To ICS Some Time In The Future, No, It's Not Today's Update

Posted by in Galaxy S Blaze 4G, News, T-Mobile

We can easily forget some of the mid-range to lower-end devices in the flurry of news we have to keep up with. Thankfully, though, T-Mobile and Samsung haven't. At least not in the Blaze 4G's case. This device is currently in the process of receiving an update to Android 2.3.6. It was already running Gingerbread, so this isn't a huge update. What is big, however, is T-Mobile has announced that some time in the future, the device will see Ice Cream Sandwich.

Yes. It's annoying to hear that the companies are only now announcing plans for last year's OS, just after Jelly Bean was announced, but hey, this is a mid-range phone we're talking about, after all.

[Deal Alert] HTC One S Available Online From T-Mobile For Just $24.99 After Rebate

Posted by in Deals, News, One S (Ville), T-Mobile

Sure, it's not the big daddy HTC One X that those smug jerks over on AT&T are enjoying, nor is it the Galaxy S III that seems to be stealing all the headlines. But 25 greenbacks for HTC's flagship mid-range device - which still beats out pretty much every phone released from a year or more back, and many since - is hard to pass up. That's the price you'll pay for a new HTC One S on T-Mobile's web store, after an eye-popping limited time discount of $175.

Combine that with a $350 subsidy for signing a new or recurring two-year contract and a $50 mail-in-rebate (remember those?) and the grand total for the quite respectable 4.3-inch ICS phone is just $24.99.

Official CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies Arrive For Samsung Galaxy S III On AT&T, Sprint, And T-Mobile (But Not Verizon, Of Course)

Posted by in AT&T, Development, Galaxy S III, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, News, Samsung, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless

The Android development community couldn't be more on fire today now that Android 4.1 has been fully open sourced. While the Jelly Bean flavored CyanogenMod 10 is not just here just yet (though work has already begun), the CyanogenMod team released a fantastic treat for new Galaxy S III owners on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile - official nightlies, available for downloading and flashing right now:

  • Galaxy S III for AT&T (d2att)
  • Galaxy S III for Sprint (d2spr)
  • Galaxy S III for T-Mobile (d2tmo)

Definition: A "nightly" is a bleeding edge release that is built on a daily basis, usually at night after a full day's worth of new code has been committed.

Verizon And T-Mobile Strike Agreement To Swap Spectrum, T-Mobile Reiterates Plans For LTE Next Year

Posted by in News, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless

Verizon and T-Mobile may not regularly make headlines together, but this morning the two companies have announced that they've struck a deal to swap spectrum (and some money) to bolster both companies' LTE networks. Yes, including the one T-Mobile has yet to build. While specifics haven't been disclosed, it sounds like T-Mobile will be the big winner here, walking away with a net gain in spectrum holdings—something the company desperately needs—while paying an undisclosed amount of money to Verizon for the trouble.

The deal isn't solid yet, though. Some of the spectrum that Verizon is offering to T-Mobile technically belongs to SpectrumCo, Cox, and Leap at the moment.

Why The T-Mobile Galaxy S III Does Not Have A Quad-Core Exynos Processor - It's Not What You Might Think

Posted by in Galaxy S III, News, Samsung, T-Mobile

Back at the announcement of the Galaxy S III, many people were quick to note that Samsung disclaimed the availability of the Exynos quad-core processor powering the beast as contingent on certain issues of geography. And then we learned that, for reals, the US versions of the Galaxy S III would be shipping with Snapdragon S4 dual-cores onboard - the MSM8960 chipset, to be precise.

And that included T-Mobile's version, which many speculated (myself included) might be the only Exynos-packing Galaxy S III to make its way to the US of A. We thought this might be a possibility because T-Mobile doesn't have an LTE network, and won't have one that's really in place in any practical sense for another year plus.

Samsung Galaxy S III Review: Not Revolutionary, But Another Solid Step Forward For Android

Posted by in AT&T, Galaxy S III, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, Reviews, Samsung, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless
Last Updated: June 24th, 2012

The Galaxy S III is a big deal. It's kind of hard to overstate it. Samsung is the biggest, baddest Android manufacturer out there, and this is their new flagship device for the next year.

Samsung is taking advantage of their newfound clout in the Android ecosystem: it's the first Android phone to escape the cellular carriers' meddling changes. Sammy managed to pulled off a unified launch across all the major US carriers - there will be no weird variants, and no names that sound like Street Fighter II sequels. It's just the "Galaxy S III." They are all the same, and you can get one on whatever carrier you want.

Official CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies Hit The T-Mobile Galaxy S II And AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket

Posted by in AT&T, Development, Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, News, Samsung, T-Mobile

A few days ago, T-Mobile's version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, codenamed "Hercules," received a hearty scoop of Ice Cream Sandwich. Today, the fun continues for owners of the device, as Team Douche just made available official CM9 nightlies.

Definition: A "nightly" is a cutting-edge release that is built on a daily basis, usually at night after a full day's worth of new code has been committed.

It could oftentimes be unstable and not properly tested, lacking any changelogs, but eventually evolving into alphas, betas, release candidates, and finally stable releases.

Additionally, those in possession of AT&T's Galaxy S II Skyrocket (a device that has not yet been dealt an official dose of ICS) can rejoice as well - CM9 nightlies are now out for this handset too.
