After the proposed deal that would see it acquired by AT&T failed to get regulatory approval last year, T-Mobile hasn’t stood still.

Yesterday we got the first sneak peek at Windows Phone 8, Microsoft’s upcoming version of its latest mobile operating system.

The LG Connect 4G, complete with LTE support, is now available from MetroPCS.

MetroPCS has started selling the Huawei M835, a very affordable Android-powered device that’s actually a rebranded Huawei Ideos.

MetroPCS Huawei Ascend Android 2.2 Froyo update now available
MetroPCS has launched the very affordable Android-powered Huawei Ascend back in December of 2010. The phone had reasonable specs for the price, but it was always let down by the version of the operating system that it came with – Android 2.1. It’s still unclear why MetroPCS and Huawei thought it was a good idea [...]
