BlackBerry Curve 8900 They say it’s the “thinnest and lightest full-QWERTY” BlackBerry, so if thin is in, you’ll be happy with the official news. The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is coming to T-Mobile in a titanium and chrome finish next month. From a hardware specification viewpoint, I like what I see: a 512 MHz CPU, 3.2-Megapixel camera with image stabilization, microSD/SDHC support (with a 256 MB card thrown in for good measure) and of course, a killer QWERTY keyboard. Of course, the connectivity goodies are there too: GPS and WiFi, plus support for WiFi calls using T-Mobile’s Hotspot@Home service. If all...
While we already confirmed the release date of the 8900 blackberry for T-mobile, nothing says “official” like a press release. If nothing else, it clears up any confusion regarding hotspot calling: T-MOBILE USA TO OFFER CUSTOMERS THE THINNEST AND LIGHTEST FULL-QWERTY BLACKBERRY SMARTPHONE New BlackBerry Curve 8900 Smartphone Delivers GPS, Wi-Fi, Enhanced Multimedia Capabilities and More Bellevue, Wash., and Waterloo, Ontario – January 7, 2009 – T-Mobile USA, Inc., and Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM: TSX: RIM) today announced that T-Mobile® will offer its customers the new BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900 smartphone, the thinnest and lightest full-QWERTY BlackBerry smartphone.

All of you skeptics out there who doubted the February release of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 on T-Mobile can now rest easy as T-Mobile and RIM have made the official announcement. Very eagerly anticipated, perhaps more so than the G1 albeit a lot more quietly, the 8900 features OS 4.6.1, a 512 MHz processor, 480×360 display, GPS, and WiFi with HotSpot support. The new Curve is sure to help ease the pain of the lack of Bold love. If only this device had 3G in the 1700 MHz flavor. No definitive date or price has been set, but T-Mobile...
Pharos’ new Windows Mobile-based offering features a 3.5-inch display with wide VGA, and 3.5G data. You’ll get 512MB of Flash, 256MB of RAM, AGPS, 7.2Mbps HSPA on T-Mobile USA and European bands, WiFi, 3-megapixel cam to round it all out. Sounds like an X1 without a keyboard. The device weighs just 4.9 ounces and will hit retailers this quarter for $599.95. Ouch! That’s kinda expensive. I don’t think it will be replacing many iPhones. I think it may tank. Hard.

Filed under: Multimedia, Software, T-MobileIn the UK, T-Mobile-speak for web content on your phone is "web'n'walk." Historically, the branding hasn't been used in the US -- but they are getting closer now with the launch of "web2go." The new Web browsing experience (T-Mobile's language, not ours) incorporates an all-new content stack that features a customizable home page and access to a My Downloads feature that'll allow certain apps and media to be moved between phones when you upgrade (frickin' finally). T-Mobile's also using the opportunity to launch new unlimited data bundles that include data and messaging in a single package....
Filed under: T-Mobile, Misc We can't recall the last time a mega-corp informed the public that it had a "good" quarter (as in, it literally described the quarter as "good" in its headline), but we can't help but chuckle at this one. Deutsche Telekom has done what few other companies have managed to do of late, and that's post an impressive Q3. Even in a "difficult market environment," net income was up €0.6 billion ($775 million) to €0.9 billion ($1.16 billion) compared to a year ago, and it managed to snag 670,000 new T-Mobile USA customers all the while. As...
T-Mobile USA announced their Q3 results today, and while they are nothing to write home about, one can certainly forgive them given the current economic climate. Having added 670,000 new users in Q3, the total number of T-Mobile subs now stands at 32.1 million. Sadly for T-Mobile, the new customers aren’t bringing much money to T-Mobile which led to a dismal 0.7% increase of revenue over Q2 to $5.51 billion. In terms of ARPU, things stayed very much the same at $52 blended and $55 contract, though these numbers are down $1 and $2 respectively from the same time...
T-mobile USA reported 3rd quarter numbers this morning and while they are up from last quarter, T-mobile is still riding a little bit of a churn wave. T-mobile USA gained 670,000 new customers, up (barely) from the previous quarter but growth is down year over year. T-mobile attributes this decrease to the maturity of customers who were among the first to sign two year agreements when they are introduced back in April of 2006. Some key highlights follow: Establishment of 120 cities with 3G coverage by the end of November Over 7 million customers use myfaves! 32.1 million total...
