T-Mobile rumors of the Nokia C7, aka “Tiger” have been correct as we see the device was just added to Nokia’s inventory list.

The rumors can finally end because Verizon Wireless has made the release date and price of the HTC ThunderBolt handset official.

T-Mobile has made some changes and unfortunately, some of the changes aren’t for the better. We’ve all heard about these changes and it’s finally official. The higher end 10 GB plan has moved up from $79.99 to $84.99 prior to the 20% discount if grouped with a voice plan. Some are thrilled to even have access to this plan so they don’t really mind.
If you have not already heard about it, this is great news! Apparently the Samsung Galaxy SII rumors are true and this bad boy has been approved by the FCC. What’s so sweet about this device is that it supports 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequencies, meaning it’ll almost certainly come with dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi. We heard this is one of the first phones ever to come with this feature.
HTC recently posted an update to Facebook that gives you a little more hope. There was no official release date announced but once again they say it’s coming soon. The rumors suggest that there may have been battery life issues, software issues or more which is the reason we are still waiting. Verizon actually said …
Geeks, now through April 16th Sprint is giving you a great deal if you port your number from any other carrier such as AT&T or Verizon. They are offering incoming smartphone subscribers a $125 service credit applicable toward your bill after 60 days. But wait, there’s more for those who like dumb phones (basic phones.) These buyers are being offered a $50 credit after 60 days as well.
Samsung recently posted a brand new advertisement for their original Samsung Galaxy Tab and the video has been spotted on youtube. Last week we reported statements being made by Samsung suggesting changes may be made in prices, competing against the iPad2.
Samsung is still considering those changes as well as possibly rethinking their hardware components. Hopefully they won’t take away anything but make it at a cheaper cost, if possible.

Most of us have heard about the Kyocera Echo M9300 smartphone Sprint is going to be releasing sometime this year, although nobody is sure of the date just yet. We can look here on the Sprint site and see all the details and price of $199.99 after MIR (mail-in rebate) with a new 2-year contract though.
Sources suggest the official launch date shouldn’t be too far away from now since it’s being heavily advertised on Sprint’s web site and now approved by the FCC.
Apple recently updated iMovie, which was for the iPhone and iPod originally, to a universal application. Now it will support the iPad2 and also brings new themes and HD sharing directly to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and CCN iReport.
