T-Mobile’s first Huawei myTouch Android phone pictured in the wild
T-Mobile USA is getting ready to launch two new myTouch Android handsets soon. This time they’re not made by the companies that manufactured the previous models (HTC and LG), but by Huawei. We’ve already seen what the new Huawei-made MyTouch devices look like, and now we can even take a look at one of them [...]

T-Mobile USA has finally unveiled the exact launch date of its Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G (initially announced back in January – the same day the carrier released the Nokia Lumia 710).

Upcoming T-Mobile Huawei Prism shows itself for the first time
Remember the Huawei-made T-Mobile Prism? It was caught passing through the FCC’s rigorous testing a couple of days ago. It’s probably going to be sold by T-Mobile under its own brand, should launch pretty soon, and it’s clearly a low-end to midrange Android smartphone ‘for the masses’. We still don’t have any hard specs except [...]
T-Mobile marketing chief wants to eliminate smartphone subsidies, realizes it’s impossible
Oh, the things some people say. Cole Brodman, the Chief Marketing Officer for T-Mobile, thinks phone subsidies are bad for the industry. And he’d like them to go away. But he’s quite certain that they won’t, because when given the option, people will always choose the device which appears to be cheaper. OK, so it [...]
T-Mobile Huawei Prism stops by the FCC, it’s probably a low-end Android
T-Mobile is apparently getting ready to launch a new Huawei-made Android smartphone, which it may sell sans Huawei branding. The upcoming T-Mobile Prism or Huawei Prism has just been spotted doing its thing over at the FCC, as well as getting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth certified. We’ve heard about the Prism once before, last month when [...]
2012 T-Mobile myTouch Android smartphones to be made by Huawei
T-Mobile’s myTouch line of Android-powered devices has always been about offering affordable smartphones to the magenta carrier’s customers, sometimes even with high-end features offered at a low price. As such, myTouch certainly has its fans. Those will be happy to know that there’s a refresh of the myTouch line planned for this year, and the [...]
HTC Ville (One S) and Huawei Prism headed to T-Mobile
The oft-rumored HTC Ville dual-core beast is probably getting officially announced at the end of this week. Most recently, we’ve heard that it will be sold as the HTC One S.

Quad-core LG X3 to be sold as the Optimus 4X HD, T-Mobile G4X version planned too
The LG X3 will be unveiled this Sunday on the eve of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, we’re expecting. This will probably be the company’s first quad-core smartphone. The recently announced Optimus L7 looks like it won’t be LG’s flagship device for this year after all. The LG X3 will thankfully not be launching under [...]
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G will be out in March for $149.99
Last month T-Mobile decided to announce the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G (following leaked information that said it was headed to the magenta carrier), but did so without saying much about the device, and without giving any hints about its price or release date. Here we are a month or so later, and T-Mobile has [...]
HTC Fireball, Samsung T999, i535, and L710 get Wi-Fi certified, may be announced soon
Four new devices have received Wi-Fi certifications, three Samsung models and one from HTC. Judging by its model number, this must be the HTC Fireball, a smartphone that was seen in a Verizon system back in December. Also then we heard that it could be a global roaming LTE device, but since that point there [...]

T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 drops to $39.99
T-Mobile launched the Nokia Lumia 710 just a couple of weeks ago, but the affordable Windows Phone device has already seen its price dropped. Not that it was ever expensive – even the previous price of $49.99 with a new two-year contract was pretty good. But now you can get the Lumia 710 from T-Mobile, [...]
T-Mobile’s HTC Amaze 4G, Sensation 4G, LG DoublePlay, myTouch, and myTouch Q approaching End-of-Life
T-Mobile is getting ready to make way for some new smartphones coming in the future, it seems. That’s because thanks to the latest leaked info, the magenta carrier has placed a number of Android smartphones on the road to oblivion (also known as End-of-Life). The phones that are nearing EOL status are the HTC Amaze [...]
T-Mobile’s Full Monty is the UK’s first true ‘unlimited everything’ plan, available from February 1
We don’t write about mobile plans that often here, and that’s because reading about minute changes in plans is boring. However, when one operator brings the first ‘unlimited everything’ plan to a nation, we notice – and you probably should too. It’s T-Mobile that has presented its new Full Monty plan in the UK, and [...]
Nokia Lumia 900 possibly coming to more US carriers (T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint)
When Nokia announced the new Lumia 900 Windows Phone at CES 2012, all that it said regarding its availability was that the handset would be exclusively released by AT&T “in the coming months.” However, as it happens sometimes, exclusivities don’t last forever. In fact, we’re hearing that AT&T’s Lumia 900 exclusivity will end 45 days [...]

It’s been sold by T-Mobile for £99.99 on PAYG ever since its release. Up until today. The operator decided that even that price [...]
HTC Ville on its way to T-Mobile
Last year, two upcoming high-end HTC Android smartphones leaked – the HTC Edge with a quad-core processor, and the HTC Ville, with ‘just’ a dual-core CPU. But after a couple of bits in November, we haven’t heard anything about the Ville so far. The Taiwanese company didn’t announce it, but perhaps that will happen during [...]
T-Mobile G2X reaches end-of-life
There comes a time when any smartphone reaches that sad moment called end-of-life. It’s when the carrier selling it decides it’s no longer on par with the competition for whatever reason, and should just be removed from the lineup. Completely gone, without a trace. And sadly on January 6 it was time for the T-Mobile G2X [...]
T-Mobile announces the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, launches Nokia Lumia 710
As rumored yesterday, T-Mobile USA has officially introduced the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, its latest high-end Android smartphone.
