To say that AT&T is disappointed with the Department of Justice’s decision to try and block it’s proposed merger with T-Mobile is a bit of an understatement. The company lashed out this week in a 
They say to strike while the iron's hot, and that's exactly what Sprint is doing as it attempts to block AT&T from merging with T-Mobile. Less than a week ago, the U.S. Department of Justice 
The Justice League of America is a collection of super heroes working together to fight the evils of the world and protect us from those who would otherwise do us harm. And the Download Fairness Coalition, who we will henceforth abbreviate DFC? That's a collection of tech giants, cable operators, telecoms, and other entities whose common goal is a little more self-serving -- to fight against "discriminatory taxes of digital goods and services" -- but perhaps equally needed.
AT&T has taken the first official step in gaining regulatory approval for its proposed purchase of T-Mobile USA. The FCC has received AT&T's application to take over the wireless spectrum licenses held by T-Mobile, as well as supporting documentation. This begins the (likely) long process of hearings and investigations that could end with AT&T swallowing up the nation's smallest carrier.
As you've heard, T-Mobile has agreed to sell out to AT&T for $39 billion in cash and stocks in a deal expected to close in March 2012. That gives Sprint, the most outspoken opponent to the deal, about 11 months to convince U.S. regulators to step in and block the transaction, and Sprint CEO Dan Hesse isn't wasting any time. Speaking at an event in San Francisco, Hesse said the acquisition would pose a "serious threat" to industry innovations.
T-Mobile recently rolled out its new 'Even More' plan, a single-line unlimited plan that opens the spigot on data, calling, and text messaging. It's an $80 plan with a two-year service contract required that applies to both new and existing customers, and since it's an all-you-can-consume buffet on all three fronts, there aren't any overage charges to worry about.
T-Mobile, which some would argue sat on the success of the original G1 for a bit too long, has been building up an impressive army of capable Android devices as of late. One of the newest entries is the G2x built by LG. This spunky dual-core smartphone will be available in stores beginning April 20, 2011, but you can hop online right now and order one from T-Mobile for $200, provided you sign up for a 2-year service agreement.
After the launch of the original G1 (HTC Dream) in what seems like eons ago, there haven't been very many smartphones to get excited about if you're a T-Mobile subscriber. Things have been steadily improving as of late, and coming soon, HTC will release what it claims is one of its most advanced smartphones ever in the dual-core HTC Sensation 4G.
Not long after T-Mobile officially announced its soon-to-be-released G2x smartphone built by LG, which will be available online starting April 15 and in stores April 20 for $200 (after $50 mail-in-rebate and with an obligatory two-year service agreement), someone listed a purportedly fully functioning model on Ebay. The seller tagged the G2x with a Buy-It-Now price of $1,000, and though it didn't quite go for that much, he did manage to find a buyer willing to overpay.
T-Mobile has confirmed pricing and release details for the much awaited G2x Android smart phone. The LG-built device will be available online on April 15, and in stores on April 20. Customers will need to plunk down $199.99 after $50 mail in rebate and 2-year agreement. This is an interesting phone considering the hardware and the impending sale of T-Mobile to AT&T.
