You have to be a pretty special device to get all the features the PHOTON 4G has yet still come with a kickstand. You’ll see what I mean as we go over everything this device offers. From being a powerful dual-core phone to all the accessories, this one is aiming right for the Atrix. The Motorola PHOTON 4G was announced back in June and we were live in NYC for some hands-on time while it was on display. Today is the full deal though, review and all so see below for all the details.
In my possession I have HTC’s latest attempt at a slider. This here is the myTouch 4G Slide running over on T-Mobile with those super fast 4G speeds. It takes everything you liked about the myTouch 4G and adds those few features we liked in the 3G slide and poof — we have the myTouch 4G Slide. This bad boy has a dual-core 1.2 Ghz CPU and a slide out QWERTY keyboard to keep you all busy. I must admit though, the camera is pretty neat too. Head on past the break for more details!
What we’ve got right here today is the PREMIUM version of the BETA release of Spotify for Android as it exists right now, here, today, in the United States of America, and we’ve gotta show it to you. Spotify is a music streaming service that’s been active for right around 2 years in the UK and is now blasting forth in the USA with a BETA trial. They’ll have their full service live SOON and what you’re going to find here is the sweetness you’ll be experiencing if you grab the $10 a month Premium service, that is, working on Mobile. Spotify has an app for Apple’s iOS and for Android and they’re very similar – the one you’re seeing here is on an Android.
HTC has officially commented on yesterday’s news that Apple has added a fresh batch of patent infringement allegations to the ongoing legal action between the two companies, telling SlashGear that it “vehemently denies” all of Apple’s claims. “HTC is dismayed” the company’s general counsel, Grace Lei says, “that Apple has resorted to competition in the courts rather than the market place.” As expected, the second set of claims detail HTC’s more recent devices, including the EVO 4G and HTC Flyer tablet.
HTC's next big thing will be rolling out on T-Mobile this July 2011, and now we've got a real solid date on this newest in the relatively long line of well-received devices with the same name. Ever hear of the myTouch 3G? Sounds sort of familiar. Also take a look at this review to see what we think of myTouch as it existed in the past. Now for this newest version, we've got a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, lovely construction all around, and a price sitting right at the usual $199.99 we've come to expect from big pink.

New hope for the Nokia and Microsoft partnership came this week with the unveiling of the N9 MeeGo handset and the Windows Phone Mango version of it dubbed the “Sea Ray.” The N950 sports a similar styling but will have a larger screen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and be deemed a developer-only device. All in all, a positive week in developments for Nokia, but not so much for RIM. The BlackBerry maker began layoffs this week and further cut back sales estimates of the PlayBook tablet.
T-Mobile USA's 2011 roadmap has leaked, and it's a smorgasbord of tempting telephonics. The smartphone roster, acquired by This is my next, includes reconfirmation that the HTC Sensation 4G is due on June 8, while the much-rumored HTC "Doubleshot" is expected to arrive on July 6 as the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide complete with HSPA+, a dual-core CPU, 3.7-inch display and slide-out QWERTY keyboard. That's just the start of it, however; head on beyond the cut for all the goodies.

If you are a user of the T-Mobile network in the US and you have a mobile phone with supports UMA we have some good news for you. You can now make WiFi calls on your T-Mobile device that don't count against the number of minutes you are allotted monthly. Before now, the calls placed using WiFi did count against your allotment. That was hardly a good deal for customers since the calls typically used the bandwidth and WiFi connectivity that the user was paying for already.

T-Mobile USA may have the biggest 4G network in the US, and data ARPUs rising faster than any US rival, but the carrier is still losing users.
