, Nov 8th 2012 Discuss [0]

T-Mobile announced its Q3 2012 earnings this morning, and things aren't looking all too great. The carrier brought in $4.9 billion in revenue, which is 6.4% less than this time last year, and they earned $1.2 billion, a decline of 15.2%. However, T-Mobile's biggest loss has to be the drop of almost 500,000 contract customers in just Q3 alone. Read The Full Story

SlashGear Evening Wrap-Up: October 25, 2012

, Oct 25th 2012 Discuss [0]

Welcome to Thursday evening folks. Today was Microsoft's big Windows 8 launch event, and though we didn't find out many new details, the company did share a few interesting tidbits of information. For instance, did you know that there are more than 1,000 Windows 8 certified PCs now? How about the fact that Microsoft has sold a whopping 670 million Windows 7 licenses? Microsoft also told us that the Windows Store will be available in 231 markets, and that Windows RT is supported by more than 420 million devices. Impressive numbers to be sure, but it's important to remember why we were at this show in the first place: Windows 8 launches in just a few hours, so get ready for that. Read The Full Story

T-Mobile’s Galaxy Note II has hardware support for LTE

, Oct 25th 2012 Discuss [3]

At the moment, one of the downsides to picking T-Mobile over a number of other carriers is that T-Mobile doesn't yet have a 4G LTE network set up. We were thinking that this would naturally mean no LTE support built into T-Mobile's version of the Galaxy Note II, but today we're finding out that assumption was wrong. AnandTech pointed out that T-Mobile's version of the Note II has hidden support for LTE under the hood in its review of the device, meaning that you if buy the Note II, you won't have to buy an entirely new device once T-Mobile gets the ball rolling on its own LTE network.

Samsung Galaxy Note II (T-Mobile) Review

, Oct 24th 2012 Discuss [5]

In the Samsung Galaxy Note II we’ve got an experience like no other – similar to the first Galaxy Note with its massive display and S-Pen action, but here with processing power and software just great enough to carve for itself a unique place in the smart device universe. The T-Mobile version of this device is so very similar to the rest of the carrier editions here in the USA that it’s almost foolish to review it more than once – the differences have been sliced down to the apps included inside, Samsung once again flexing their brand power to keep the device near-identical across all carrier borders. This device is to the Galaxy Note line what the Galaxy S III was to the Galaxy S line, continuing very much with Samsung’s coming-of-age – very wise indeed.

This device will be available starting on October 31st, 2012, and will ring in this terrifying Halloween with a collection of LG-made features. Read The Full Story

Welcome to Friday evening, everyone. We're about ready to kick off the weekend, but before we do, let's recap the news from the afternoon. Today we heard that the iPad Mini might mean the end of the iPad 2, and that a jailbreak for the iPhone 5 will coming shortly. We learned today that T-Mobile will be holding a product event on October 29 - the same day that Google and Microsoft are holding events - and that the prices of the rumored Mac Mini and iMac refreshes might be staying the same.

T-Mobile product event brings full Fall lineup October 29th

, Oct 19th 2012 Discuss [2]

It’s more than a little bit of a coincidence that T-Mobile has just released invites to an event that will take place the same day as Google’s own Android event and the Microsoft Windows 8 event earlier in the day – the 29th of October. This T-Mobile event will more than likely be the first reveal of the new Nexus smartphone made by LG – a device we’ve seen leaked quite a few times now – and it’d be a pretty good bet that T-Mobile will be carrying it right out of the gate. It could also very well be the hands-on point for a collection of T-Mobile Windows Phone 8 devices all at once. Or both possibilities could coincide!

, Oct 13th 2012 Discuss [4]
