T-Mobile Launching VOD Mobile in the UK
New movies-on-demand service is ready to take flight in the UK. Specifically, T-Mobile is offering the services of Saffron Digital to those who purchase the HTC Desire. It has been announced that Warner Bros is affiliated with this new venture. Customers will be able to select and purchase a single movie and then possess a 48 hour window to watch said flick. Prices vary from 3.49 pounds for new releases to 2.49 pounds for older movies. T-Mobile head of handset and device marketing Nicola Shenton was very upbeat about the whole affair. We anticipate the Desire being one of our most popular handsets of 2010, and the VOD+ service makes it an even greater value for our customers," she said. “As the service is unique to T-Mobile, it will also be a key differentiator for…

HTC Desire Now Available in the UK
Brits who want to get their hands on the HTC Desire can now do so via the T-Mobile website. This is contrary to a previous T-Mobile announcement which stated that the Desire will become available on March 26. T-Mobile has also promised that the HTC Desire will become available in stores on March 29. Those of you wishing not to sign a contract with the devil known as T-Mobile, will soon have the luxury of a different devil in the wireless industry, as the Desire is scheduled to become available on all major British carriers in the near future. No word as of yet regarding the crippling contract the potential customers will be forced to sign in order not to pay outlandish fees upfront. The HTC Desire is another in the long line of handsets from the Taiwanese manufacturer…

Orange UK and T-Mobile Merging
The proposed merger between T-Mobile and Orange UK is supposed to gain approval from the evil empire in Brussels. This merger would create the largest carrier in the UK with 30 million subscribers. The European Commission, Parliament, Third Reich, or whatever you choose to call the tyrannical dictatorship that governs Europe, is more than happy to see the birth of such a mammoth beast. Why? Because it is far easier for the European Union to sway a small corporate community to do its bidding, as opposed to a large one. Less companies, means less of a headache. Does the average subscriber in the UK suffer? Yes, but that is irrelevant. All that is relevant is the doctrine of Europe as it continues down the road of communism. (Not socialism. That was left behind years ago.)…

New myTouch 3G from T-Mobile
A new version of myTouch 3G is now available from T-Mobile. The new handset will run for $149.99, providing that customers agree to a two year contract with Catherine Zeta-Jones’ favorite carrier. The myTouch 3G comes armed with some decent specs, including 3.2-inch HVGA Touchscreen with a virtual keyboard. The memory is expandable to 8GB via a microSD card. Not too shabby at this price point, though we have seen better. The myTouch 3G comes loaded with applications, which is either good or bad depending on your prospective. Applications such as Visual Voicemail and Barcode Scanner may come in handy for those who make use of such programs. The myTouch 3G is now available online and at select T-Mobile locations. Why select? How difficult is it to actually make the device…

T-Mobile Launches the Tap
A new budget touch phone is now for sale, adding to the endless lineup of Smartphones that now have touch capability. (Do we really like touch phones that much?) The new phone is called Tap (how original) and is now available from T-Mobile. The Tap specks are rather uneventful, with the low end phone sporting a worthless 2 megapixel camera, music player and Bluetooth. (If those are the highlights of the Tap, then it sucks.) The crap, excuse me the Tap, will run you about $80 after mail-in rebate and will of course shackle you to a long term service contract with T-Mobile. As far as price is concerned, buy the Tap if you are on a tight budget, but don’t acquire it if you are simply frugal. You will be a lot better off shelling out an additional $100 and actually getting…

T-Mobile and Orange Set to Merge in the UK
In an announcement that will forever change the mobile landscape in the UK, German Telekom and France Telecom have revealed that they will be combining T-Mobile UJK and Orange UK. This will give the new German – French partnership a total of 37% percent of the UK mobile market. German Telekom and France Telecom have assured Brits that this merger will provide a positive consumer experience, as the two mobile giants will combine networks to improve 3G coverage. They of course failed to mention that a reduction in competition usually leads to a price increase and reduced customer service quality. Those chasing the EU dream will probably applaud this new venture, but those who show concern over deeper EU integration will probably frown upon this latest development. I…

Facebook and Twitter Available for Sidekick
Facebook and Twitter are now available on the T-Mobile Sidekick via the virtually unknown Sidekick Download Catalogue. This would be normally great news, but there are two glaring problems that need to be addressed. First of all, the Twitter app isn’t free and will costly you $2 to download. While this is peanuts, even in tough economic times, I find it quite repulsive that anyone would actually pay to use Twitter. In fact, from this point forward, this blog shall forever be known as a ‘No Twitter Zone’, or ‘The Tweet Stops Here’. The other glaring problem is the actual Sidekick itself. You see, the T-Mobile Sidekick sucks more than an intoxicated Lindsey Lohan. T-Mobile has banned pretty much all third party content from the Sidekick and gauges subscribers by forcing…

T-Mobile G1 Customers Abandoned?
As always, mixed messages from carriers and mobile providers have threatened to leave customers in the crapper. A worrisome statement made recently by Android engineer Dave Sparks partially confirmed fears that Android will cease to offer software upgrades for the T-Mobile G1. "There will come a time in the near future when we won't be able to fit the latest release on the G1 internal flash," said Sparks, whose comments were not echoed by T-Mobile when asked to respond. "We plan to continue working with Google to introduce future software updates to the T-Mobile G1. Reports to the contrary are inaccurate," was the counter by T-Mobile. Except T-Mobile did not answer the question and Sparks spoke more directly which makes me more inclined to believe…

Vodafone to Buyout T-Mobile UK?
Some internet pundits are claiming that Vodafone is considering a multi billion dollar purchase of T-Mobile UK. Though such an industry changing possibility is till in the speculation stage, there appears to be some merit to this proposition. T-Mobile in the UK has been struggling financially; with parent company Deutsche Telekom going as far as to issue a profit warning. A successful bid by Vodafone would increase its market share in the UK to 40%, overtaking O2 who currently sits a top of the hill with 27%. While it remains unclear whether or not British regulators will approve the buyout, Vodafone has reportedly discussed a joint takeover venture with Hutchinson Whampoa, indicative that it is aware of the potential roadblock. Even though such extreme speculation and…

T-Mobile to Release the myTouch 3G aka HTC Magic This Summer
T-Mobile will be launching their second Android powered phone in the near future. The new Android smartphone is called the myTouch 3G or HTC Magic. While T-Mobile has remained tight lipped like a Gestapo agency, The Wall Street Journal has confirmed that the myTouch 3G should be out sometime later this summer or early fall. The myTouch 3G, coupled with the Touch Pro 2, also from HTC, is sure to make this summer rather interesting for Catherine Zeta-Jones’ favorite carrier. One of the issues I have with wireless providers and T-Mobile in particular is the brand recognition. The most powerful aspect of a phone is the name and the brand power that the name carries, yet T-Mobile always manages to muck up their brand recognition. Releasing two phones such as the myTouch and…
