After T-Mobile and Google heard all the complains on 3G reception with the Nexus One and The double ETF, they are giving us some good news to existing T-Mo customers. Starting January 14th, existing T-Mobile customers can upgrade to Google Nexus One for only US$ 279. Customers that previously upgraded to Nexus One paying 379, will receive US$ 100 mail in rebate… that is better compared with Apple when they give iTunes cards as a rebate. Starting to today, Google will notify them if they qualify for that refund. Expect your 100 bucks withing 14 days.

Wow… Getting the new Nexus One is not too pretty. Seams that T-Mobile and Google, if you cancel your contract after 14 days ( 30 in CA ), will charge you ETF, both of them. From Google side, the fee is 350 while from T-Mobile is 200. But wait, also Google will charge you for the device.. 179, making a big total of US$ 729. Gosh..that is outrageous!!
Please note that the Equipment Recovery Fee is imposed by Google and not your chosen carrier and is in addition to any early termination fees that may be charged by your chosen carrier in connection with termination of your wireless plan prior to fulfillment of your chosen carrier’s service agreement term.
I think is a much better idea to buy the phone unlocked without a contract, that will be way cheaper.!

Just yesterday , we told you about RIM is working of a new version of Curve, The Blackberry 8910. And now, thank to our friends for Berryreview, we got the first picture of this beauty. Rumors indicated that the Blackberry Curve 8910 will feature a better camera, trackpad, newer processor, 3G. Also RIM decides to remove a lot of the chrome for slick black gloss. The OS? It will be running OS 5.0.4 +
Sounds like a completely new makeover of the Curve series..

Not happy with the Nexus One, Google is preparing a new edition of its phone. According to Reuters, no less a source than Andy Rubin says that the next model (the Nexus Two?) will be made for business users and will feature a physical QWERTY keyboard. It’s not clear yet if the second Google Nexus handset will be manufactured by HTC (like the Nexus One), or by another company. It will support AWS 3G bands or it will be designed for AT&T or Verizon Wireless.
Such a device could potentially pose a competitive threat to BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, which has a strong position in the enterprise cellphone market.
Now we can just wait for the official word.

T-Mobile is having some financial problems and the best way to save some money is getting rid of some unprofitable services like its @Home service. As you know the T-Mobile @Home is service that gives you unlimited nationwide calling from your home phone, including voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, and call conferencing.
Current @Home customers will not be affected. They can still use the service. T-Mobile will continue supporting it but won’t be investing in it anymore.T-Mobile will continue to sell the remaining inventory.
In my experience this service was a great idea but sometimes it’s not reliable. I needed to reset the router to get dial tone again.. some times I don’t have phone during the whole day, later on I realize i needed to restart the router over again.
Good move T-Mobile!

T-Mobile has announced that it will be the exclusive provider of the HTC HD2 in the U.S. The HD2 is possibly the most cutting-edge model available today with Microsoft’s mobile operating system; it has 1 GHz processor, and ports a 4.3-inch WVGA capacitive display with multi-touch support. With the ROM leaked few weeks ago, we knew that the HTC HD 2 will arrive to T-Mobile sooner or later.
T-Mobile is only saying that the debut will be in the spring. The price for the U.S. version is still unknown.

Do you want to know how much will you spend if you sign up with T-Mo and get the new Nexus One for 2 Years? well our friends from BillShrink have taken a look at four of the most popular smartphones, (iPhone 3GS, Palm Pre, Motorola DROID, and Google Nexus One ) to see what their total cost of ownership would be. This is great chart showing the specifications and price. As you can see, the price is not too bad compared with the iPhone 3Gs and the Motorola Droid ( the 2 most expensive ).

Yes guys, T-Mobile finally has finished upgrading its 3G network to HSPA 7.2 Mbps. Now, the whole country can enjoy that improvement from 3.6 to 7.2 Mbps.
T-Mobile also pointed out that its 3G footprint now covers some 200 million Americans. T-Mobile also said that it plans to be the first U.S. carrier to deploy HSPA+ across its network by mid 2010. T-Mobile currently has an HSPA+ trial under way in Philadelphia. Once fully enabled, HSPA+ will offer up to 21Mbps downloads.
