Good news for consumers: T-Mobile (aka “We ain’t AT&T yet”) is offering a $30 “unlimited” text and data (their words, not mine, since data is not truly unlimited) prepaid plan through Walmart stores and online. The plan includes 100 voice minutes, above which will be $.10 /min, which is fairly high. Definitely targeted towards the heavy texters who don’t talk much. ;-) The plan will be available beginning Oct. 16th, and six prepaid phone models will be offered through T-mobile.
The U.S. market sorely needs more prepaid SIM options on the GSM networks, and this is a good addition. On the downside, as you’ll see from T-mobile’s press release (after the break), only the first 5GB will be available at 4G speeds, but it does not specify the speed after you’ve used up the 5GB. Will it be 3G, or Edge? Definitely a question you should ask your T-mobile rep in the store.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is an Android-powered tablet that features a 7-inch touch screen display, a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM, along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and 3G connectivity. While Steve Jobs has dismissed the 7-inch Android tablet genre as a fad, there is a lot of buzz surrounding the Samsung Galaxy Tab as the first bit Android-powered tablet, which is headed to all major cell carriers. Check availability on Amazon.com.
The first batch of reviews for the Galaxy Tab are out. I’ve collated several reviews below and will attempt to update this list as additional, relevant reviews roll in. [click to continue…]

The T-Mobile myTouch has just dropped with Android 2.2, video calling and HSPA+. The video calling comes to fruition thanks to the front-facing camera that lets you dial up visual conversations over WiFi or 3G using Qik. Other features include a higher-res screen (than the old myTouch 3G) at 3.8″ and 800 x 480 resolution, a 1Ghz Snapdragon CPU, and 5MP rear camera that will also do 720p video.

T-Mobile has launched a teaser page that touts the first HSPA+ smartphone will be arriving on its network later this year. While previous rumors suggested that T-Mobile might be launching the Nokia N8, some code-sniffing from the BGR crew reveals that this teaser is most likely for the G1 Blaze (aka HTC Vision/Vanguard).
In areas where T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network is available, the G1 Blaze will theoretically support 14.4Mbps data transfers. The G1 Blaze is expected to come packed with a 3.7″ display, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, QWERTY slider keyboard, trackpad and Android 2.2.

As it stands now, the Nexus One is only compatible with T-Mobile 3G in the US, and is relegated to the Edge network for AT&T customers and is completely incompatible with Sprint’s service.
