T-Mobile – yet again – is laying down the gauntlet. They want you to stop in with your pretty iPhone and see if it can outperform the Samsung Galaxy S 4G in data speeds. Think it’s possible? If you’re successful, you’ll get $1,000 to go home with from T-Mobile. A catch, you say? Why, of [...]

The only thing worse than waiting on slow “4G” speeds on the Motorola Atrix 4G is waiting for AT&T to deliver the promised update that will lift data speed caps on the device. If you have a rooted Atrix and are sick of holding out for AT&T, today is your lucky day. The folks over [...]

Before T-Mobile’s launch of the G2x by LG, word got out that the phone would be a quadband HSPA+ device.
