Sale ! Sale ! T-Mobile for Sale !… Google may buy it

T-Mobile is the 4th largest mobile operator in the U.S., far behind AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint in terms of subscribers.

I’ve been a T-Mobile subscriber for the past 8 years, and in my opinion they have excellent service (voice and data) and being a GSM operator you can travel internationally without having to switch phones – a nice perk.

Deutsche Telekom may launch an initial public offering (IPO) for the US wireless unit, according to a Wall Street. The German Company has negotiated with banks including Deutsche Bank to manage the IPO. A decision is expected in the next few months. However, company officials declined to comment on the issue.

As Google makes further inroads into the telecom industry with Google Voice, and devices such as the Nexus One, they are in direct competition with the U.S. wireless operators.

But Why Google?

Because the major cable companies have already invested with Sprint-Clearwire venture. They offer the cable customers 4G. If one of them bought T-Mobile, it would be hard to integrate with the current 4G technology (WiMax). This would likely rule out the cable companies.

With Google Voice and now the Nexus One, like it or not Google is becoming a telecom operator. Perhaps their relationships with carriers will go the way of their relationship with Apple…friends first, now direct competitors .

We just hope that Google, if buys T-Mobile, to continues the good costumer service, great deal and cheap plans.

We just need to wait to see that is gonna happen.

Google employees getting the Google phone for testing … be launched in Jan 2010?

Google in going to hand out its new Google phone to its employees worldwide for testing it. The new Google Phone will be made by HTC, and it will feature a full touchscreen handset, Android 2.1. Maybe thinner then the HTC Hero. Snapdragon processor, high resolution OLED display and dual mics for noise reduction and advanced voice-to-text features.

The phone will be sold by Google fully unlocked in early 2010. We are sure if the Google phone will run on T-Mobile, AT&T or both 3G bands.

Update: Google Phone is identifying itself as “Nexus One”. Additionally, Jon Gruber on Twiter says that the new Google phone will be compatible only with T-Mobile 3G bands, putting AT&T’s subscribers only to use EDGE. T-Mobile users.. this is great news for US!!

An Android dogfood diet for the holidays

Saturday, December 12, 2009 8:58 AM

At Google, we are constantly experimenting with new products and technologies, and often ask employees to test these products for quick feedback and suggestions for improvements in a process we call dogfooding (from “eating your own dogfood”). Well this holiday season, we are taking dogfooding to a new level.

We recently came up with the concept of a mobile lab, which is a device that combines innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features and capabilities, and we shared this device with Google employees across the globe. This means they get to test out a new technology and help improve it.

Unfortunately, because dogfooding is a process exclusively for Google employees, we cannot share specific product details. We hope to share more after our dogfood diet.

T-Mobile’s next Android phone: G1 Touch

t-marco — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:29:32 +0000

It has not been revealed whether or not the T-Mobile G1Touch will be the T-Mobile branded that the new handset could be the Huawei U8230 featured earlier this week at the CommunicAsia 2009 in Singapore.

According to the manufacturer, The Huawei U8230 will launch on T-Mobile in Europe later this year and will feature 3.5-inch touchscreen display, 3.2 mega-pixel camera, and a Qualcomm chipset. The device will also include a 1500 mAH high capacity battery.

Judging by the name alone we suspect that the G1 Touch will turn out to be the T-Mobile branded HTC Magic, but we are still awaiting confirmation from T-Mobile UK on the matter.
