UPDATE: Verizon Wireless has stated they have no comment on this occasion as of yet. That’s right folks – it’s official. According to a report from MSNBC, AT&T and Deutsch Telekom, parent company of their USA-based endeavor better known as T-Mobile, have agreed to sell off the venture for a whopping $39 Billion. With a ‘B’. …
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. Nokia has hopes of winning over Android users who have service with T-Mobile. They haven’t forgotten about Windows Phone 7 users though so don’t worry. They are focused on both platforms evenly.
We’ve heard rumors about a Sprint and T-Mobile merger in the past, and this is no different. This morning, Bloomberg is reporting about Sprint and Deutsche Telekom holding meetings to discuss a possible acquisition. The deal could reportedly give Deutsche Telekom a sizable stake in Sprint following the merger – up to 50%. Sprint had no comment, but a Deutsche Telekom spokesperson said the company “could sell all or part of the U.S. business, and all options are open.”

T-Mobile and Samsung Galaxy fans, you have a new device coming your way soon!

Our Geeks have talked about this device and come to find out, it’s absolutely what you expected and more!

You all may already know that The International CES is the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow. This year it took place starting January 6th and runs until January 9th. Several websites are there and reporting what they have found to be interesting. We aren’t there this year but have already made plans for next year so don’t you worry!
We’ve seen the rumors of the Google Nexus Two, supposedly made by Samsung this time instead of T-Mobile. Earlier this morning, a Google Nexus S appeared on Best Buy’s website saying it would be available this holiday season on T-Mobile. You’ll see a broken image and the pre-order link was dead, but it still made …
Skype has been available on Verizon Android phones for a while now, but because of the exclusive deal between Verizon and Skype, it was limited to only that carrier. Now that wait is finally over and Skype is now available for every 2.1+ Android phone, regardless of carrier. In the US, you’ll be limited to Skype Calls using WiFi only though. Unfortunately it doesn’t support video chat either, and there’s no mention of future support for it.
Microsoft has officially confirmed that it will launch the long-awaited Windows Phone 7 on October 11th with events worldwide, including the main one in New York City. In NYC, there will be keynote presentations by both Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer and AT&T’s Ralph de la Vega. AT&T is the preferred launch partner in the US and is expected to have three handsets available at launch. T-Mobile will also be releasing handsets, but so far it seems that the rumor/announcement of no CDMA carriers until 2011 is correct.

The Wall Street Journal posted an article yesterday saying that Sprint is considering letting T-Mobile USA invest in Clearwire, Sprint’s 4G WiMAX partner. Sprint currently owns 54% of Clearwire. Everyone knows Clearwire is in desperate need of cash to continue building out its network, and allowing T-Mobile USA to invest would give them some of that needed money.
I’m sure most of our readers would disagree with this idea, but Dan Hesse seems to think that a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile is still a good idea. He’s gone on record with Financial Times by saying the company is still considering a merger with T-Mobile “down the line”. You may remember last year that Sprint and T-Mobile were in talks of a merger, but T-Mobile’s parent company, Deutsche Telekom, feels that T-Mobile is doing fine on their own. Read more…
