T-Mobile compatible Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 clears FCC

Good news if you like T-Mobile and want to grab yourself the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. A version of Sammy’s tablet that sings along the magenta-colored carrier’s 3G bands (1700MHz) has cleared the FCC and is now officially ready to be sold on the U.S. soil. That, my friend, doesn’t mean we’ll actually see T-Mobile and Samsung announcing the device any time soon – it just says to us “such an option” is possible. And while we keep our fingers crossed, you can go through the FCC filing to check all the documents Korean company submitted to get the clearance from the Commission. Honestly, it’s not that interesting, but I know there are some of you who like to read manuals and check for radiation levels (or not)… [Via: Engadget ] T-Mobile compatible Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 clears FCC originally appeared on IntoMobile.com on 2011-09-15T10:00:44Z.

T-Mobile Readies The LG Mytouch Q – Video Tutorials All Set To Go [Update: They're A Pair]

Just got word from my friend @juanaguilar_45 on a rather puzzling email from he received this evening from YouTube. Seems it was a notification email letting Mr. Aguilar know of a new video tutorial just uploaded to T-Mobile’s channel on their brand new Mytouch Q by LG. Weird thing is, we’ve never even heard of this LG manufactured Mytouch Q until now. Attempting to click the link takes you to a private video so no luck there. Now we can start with the speculating. We’ve known of the LG Optimus Q since back in 2010 and I really don’t think (hope) this could be that same device. You may also remember an “LG Q” that was leaked in a Sprint ID pack but that doesn’t really give us anything but a name. **UPDATE: The fellas over at AndroidGuys were able to secure a few images of the device and combined with a T-Mobile leaked roadmap , we now believe these devices (yup, 2) to be the LG Maxx and Maxx Q (QWERTY version). They’re twins! One will by called the Mytouch by LG and the other will be named the Mytouch Q by LG and both are slated for a November 2nd launch.

Deal: T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Free Through Thursday

Here’s yet another offer from T-Mobile for their MyTouch 4G. Like they’ve done at least twice in the past (I’ve lost count), they are giving users a chance to get it for free after signing a new two-year agreement. The T-Mobile myTouch 4G eventually lost its luster when it comes to sheer power, but the big secret is that this is still a pretty good phone. It’s got a snappy 1GHz processor, 768MB of RAM and a fork of HTC Sense (called Espresso) that really takes advantage of that SoC. Could be the perfect gift for someone who needs to come out of the dark ages of feature phones. Head over to T-Mobile’s site to take advantage if you want, but do it quickly – it’s supposed to revert to normal pricing tomorrow. [ T-Mobile , thanks Big Fella! ]

Samsung to Use 1.5GHz Dual-Core Qualcomm CPU in T-Mobile Galaxy S II

According to the folks running the @GalaxySsupport Twitter handle, the dual-core processor replacing the Exynos chipset for T-Mobile’s Samsung Galaxy S II is the 1.5GHz Qualcomm APQ8060. Understanding that you can’t always trust the person on the other end of a big company’s social media account to be in possession of all the facts, the revelation makes sense. Samsung has kept a lid on information regarding the processor to be found in the Galaxy S II variant, perhaps in favor of promoting their own Exynos platform for the time being, but compatibility with a Qualcomm modem tuned for T-Mobile’s 42Mbps HSPA+ network may have been the deciding factor. You will note that the APQ8060 was the processor to be rumored to be powering the Samsung Hercules the device that evolved into the 4.5-inch Galaxy S II. [ Twitter via TechCrunch ]

Need a ROM For Your Sensation 4G? Try These [Forum Talk]

Ah, indecision. It often happens to us ROM flashers. There are so many out there and it’s hard to find the perfect one for you. Some people may even be waiting on a ROM fro their favorite developer but have yet to see one (coughCYANOGENMODONEVO3Dcough). Some of you Sensation users probably want to get the most of your phones after getting full root a while ago, though. AndroidForums.com member lucas.childers has put together a nice starter list of ROMs every flasher should try. He even gives descriptions for each one so you’re not running in blindly. Don’t stop there, though – be sure to explore the All Things Root subsection and explore XDA for more. Let us know if you have any Sensation 4G ROM suggestions in the comments section below!

BlackBerry Curve 9360 and Torch 9860 show up in T-Mobile system

Sprint and Verizon have been getting a lot of attention from RIM with various launches over the last few weeks, but T-Mobile isn’t far behind. On top of recently launching the Bold 9900 , the all-touchscreen Torch 9860 and Curve 9360 should both be headed to T-Mobile shortly, as the Torch has been spotted internally as a trade-in option, and the Curve 9360 elsewhere in marketing material on prepaid devices. The new Curve will be going fro $229.99 without a contract by the looks of things, though there’s no information on whether T-Mobile will match Verizon’s $199.99 pricetag or Sprint’s $149.99 . The Torch 9860 keeps up with the BlackBerry 9900 on most of the important specs, like 1.2 GHz processor, 768 MB of RAM, 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p video recording (and even has a one-up with continuous autofocus), and a magnetic compass for augmented reality apps. The Curve is slightly lower-end, which you might have guessed given the pricetag. It’s running on an 800 MHz processor with 512 MB of RAM, and is packing a 2.4-inch 480 x 360 display. It’s very slim and pocketable, which you can see in my hands-on video here .  If you’re looking for something higher-end, you can see my Torch 9850 / 9860 review here . Before long, I’m sure all of the major U.S. carriers will have RIM’s full range of OS 7 devices, but by the time they’re all out and prices have settled down, I can’t help but think RIM will have announced their first QNX-based phone. Don’t get me wrong, these ones will be fine for those who predominantly concern themselves with e-mail and don’t have much concern for the bleeding edge of mobile technology, but for those that want something high-end, competitive, and with a rich app ecosystem, I have a feeling most shoppers will hold out until 2012.

Sprint sues to block AT&T, T-Mobile merger

Not content to let the government get its digs in , Sprint is suing to block the AT&T, T-Mobile merger because it says the deal would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act. Sprint says the deal would harm consumers and it would also disturb competition. In particular, it said the AT&T, T-Mobile deal would: Harm retail consumers and corporate customers by causing higher prices and less innovation. Entrench the duopoly control of AT&T and Verizon, the two “Ma Bell” descendants, of the almost one-quarter of a trillion dollar wireless market. As a result of the transaction, AT&T and Verizon would control more than three-quarters of that market and 90 percent of the profits. Harm Sprint and the other independent wireless carriers. If the transaction were to be allowed, a combined AT&T and T-Mobile would have the ability to use its control over backhaul, roaming and spectrum, and its increased market position to exclude competitors, raise their costs, restrict their access to handsets, damage their businesses and ultimately to lessen competition. If the AT&T, T-Mobile deal went through, it would create the largest carrier in the United States and would create a near monopoly on the GSM market in the United States. AT&T says the deal would allow it to cover nearly all of the country with advanced mobile broadband, give AT&T more spectrum to build for the future and enable it to improve coverage across the country. Sprint and the U.S. government obviously disagree. [Via Sprint ] Sprint sues to block AT&T, T-Mobile merger originally appeared on IntoMobile.com on 2011-09-06T17:10:22Z. FV1gMYsz9b5j

T-Mobile roadmap leaked: Galaxy S II, HTC Ruby and tablet

Many of you T-Mobile fans are anxiously awaiting the Galaxy S II and we’re happy to tell you that a leaked roadmap says it should launch at the end of October. TMoNews got its hands on the leaked schedule for the next few months and it shows that the Android superphone from Samsung should be landing in late October but we still don’t have a specific release date. We know the Sprint version of the Galaxy S II will be coming first in September, so let’s hope it doesn’t lag too long. Confirming a previous rumor , the leaked roadmap says late October should also be the release date of the HTC Ruby, or what could be called the “Amaze 4G.” This Android beast is expected to have a 4.3-inch screen and a dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor and up to 1 GB of RAM. We’re looking forward to that one. As for September, we should be seeing the BlackBerry Curve 9360 launched around Sept. 14, so you RIM fans should be ready for the latest version. The leaked roadmap also says that we can expect one tablet to be released in that time frame, too. Anything exciting you about these leaks?

Specs, Images Leak for the HTC Amaze 4G

A rumored HTC device known as the Ruby was revealed to be the HTC Amazon 4G a few weeks ago, and now we have specs and images to back up the existence of the new handset soon headed for T-Mobile. The Amaze 4G will feature a 4.3-inch qHD display, dual cameras at 8MP and 2MP, and a whopping 1.5GHz dual-core processor. Pretty amazing, huh? Add in 1GB of RAM, Gingerbread with the new Sense 3.5 running on top, and a smattering of connectivity including WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and HSPA+ and you have a pretty nice looking device.  Only time will tell if it will truly amaze us or not. Did I get in enough Amaze puns? [via CellPhoneSignal ]

Leak: HTC Ruby, also known as the Amaze 4G on T-Mobile, found in the jungles of Thailand

Last month a blurry photo and a rough spec sheet for a device known as the HTC Ruby started circling around the internet. The Ruby was also said to be coming to the United States as the “Amaze 4G” on T-Mobile. Thanks to the Thai website Droid Sans , we now not only have clearer pictures of the Ruby, but confirmation that the absolutely ridiculous spec sheet we saw in August wasn’t just a fanboi’s wet dream, but indeed real. You’re looking at a device with a 4.3 inch screen that has a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels, a dual core 1.5 GHz processor that’s paired up with 1 GB of RAM, an 8 megapixel camera with a dual LED flash, a forward facing 2 megapixel camera, and best of all support for 42 Mbps HSPA+ networks. The Droid Sans folks say the device is a bit laggy, which is probably due to the fact that what they have is such an early prototype, and that the Ruby can run a bit hot, something that may be attributable to either the highly clocked processor or more likely the beefy 3G (technically 4G) radio. Is it nothing more than a souped up Sensation? All answers point to yes, and that would mean that HTC’s current Android flagship will have a lifespan of just under half a year if the October 26th release date for the Ruby is true. What do you guys think of that? Is it ridiculous that HTC is moving so fast or are you happy that the pace of innovation is such that you’ll never be left waiting endlessly for the next awesome bit of kit to hit the market? All we know is this: HTC seriously needs to come up with a new design language already because all of their phones look the same, and we don’t mean that as a compliment.
