If you are a T-Mobile customer and you have been waiting to get your hands on the slick Motorola CLIQ with MOTOBLUR today is the day. The device is now available on the T-Mobile network. The rest of us not on T-Mobile will have to wait until November 2 to get the CLIQ in our grubby little mitts.
T-Mobile’s mysterious plan-in-process Project Dark has been churning the rumor bins for a while now, and this seemingly leaked promo image is doing nothing to challenge that. An unusually coy TmoNews received the shot from an unnamed source, and it seems to suggest that – Project Dark or otherwise – a new, unlimited plan is in the works.
Sidekick owners, you can stop mentally-spending that $100 gift-card T-Mobile promised. In a new statement updated to the Sidekick forums, Microsoft’s Roz Ho – VP of premium mobile experiences – has confirmed that the company has recovered “most, if not all, customer data for those Sidekick customers whose data was affected by the recent outage.” She also confirms that the restored files will begin to feed back into devices starting with contacts; reports yesterday suggested that the process had already happened.
The debacle that was and is the loss of all Sidekick users’ contacts data continues with a new wrinkle. Gizmodo reports that at least a few Sidekick users have suddenly had their contacts returned according to posts on the T-Mobile forums.
Our pre-emptive love for the HTC HD2 knows few bounds, and Peter Chou exclusively confirming to us that the Snapdragon-based Windows Phone would be hitting the US in Q1 2010 only helped in that. What was unclear, until now, was which carrier might be getting the HD2, but a leaked image acquired by TmoNews seemingly confirms that the Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone will be arriving on T-Mobile USA.
After admitting that they could have lost every scrap of Sidekick users’ online data, T-Mobile USA are now following up on their promise of “additional measures” to make it up to affected customers. The carrier is now more hopeful of restoring lost data than it was at the weekend – when it described the likelihood of recovery as “extremely low” – but any user facing a loss will automatically get a $100 T-Mobile gift card.
Last week rumors and scuttlebutt started popping up that perennial fourth place wireless provider T-Mobile had a new trick up its sleeve that would shoot it into third place passing Sprint. Exactly what the cryptic Project Black (or Project Dark as it’s also known) was and still is unknown.
It’s been a weekend of pain for Sidekick owners, with last week’s data outage ironically only the first step in an escalating catalog of mis-management by Microsoft, T-Mobile USA and the Danger team. On Saturday, an official statement was posted to the T-Mobile Sidekick forum, advising users that personal data stored on their servers and not on the handset itself “has almost certainly been lost”, together with the ominous advice that Sidekick handsets shouldn’t be turned off, run down or reset.

We have seen the Blackberry 9700 quite a bit already for the device to not even be available at retail outlets yet. The 9700 has been spied in the wild a few times and is already claimed by some to be the best Blackberry yet. If you have been waiting to get your hands on the device, the wait is only about a month away if you are on T-Mobile.

The holidays will be here before we know it and T-Mobile has unveiled some of the handsets that will make up its holiday line. Perhaps the most interesting device in the lineup for the holiday season for Android fans will be the myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition. The handset is set to debut later this year and will have a guitar-inspired wood grain finish.
