This one’s been floating around a little bit, but somehow, someway, Sony Ericsson is making a return to T-Mobile USA. Plus they’re the first HSDPA handset to launch, too! The specs are not incredible by any means, but for just an average phone, they’ll do just fine. Here’s a recap of the specifications: 2.0 megapixel camera Tri-band 850/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE (boo!) Dual-band UMTS/HSDPA 1700/2100 Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP microSD slot Video recording IM If you’re feeling ...

It looks as though AT&T customers will likely have a new Walkman handset coming their way shortly. While nothing has been officially announced by AT&T or Sony Ericsson, the first live image of an AT&T-branded W760a is now making the rounds. The colorful Walkman handset made its way through the FCC approval process and emerged a few weeks ago, though its destination was unknown. The new image pictured above however, clearly shows the AT&T logo ...

If you haven’t been lucky enough to try out the awesome mobile browser that is Skyfire, now is your chance. We’ve got 100 beta codes which will give you immediate access to either the Windows Mobile or Symbian clients. In our usage, the Symbian version smokes the Windows Mobile version, but that might just be us getting excited. We’d love to see a couple changes to the client: local browsing history, more shortcuts, fixed menu ...

So you’re thinking to yourself, “ok so now I know which markets T-Mobile is deploying 3G in this year, but what about some new 3G handsets?” It’s a fair question and we’re glad you asked. Say hello to the latest handset to be announced by T-Mobile US, the Sony Ericsson TM506.

We’re not entirely sure what this has to do with news about phones, but PhoneNews seems to have managed a bit of inside info with regards to an upcoming MacBook Air revision that many have seen coming for a while now. According to the rumors, the external design to the ultra-slim lappy will not undergo much of a makeover if any (and why would it?). The guts however, are seemingly in for a good upgrade. ...

Kicking things off with the LG Voyager, Verizon Wireless has just gone live with its visual voicemail service. No doubt inspired by the iPhone though Apple was hardly the first to introduce such a service (just ask its legal team), Verizon’s new service allows users to listen to voicemail messages by navigating through a visual representation of their voicemail inbox. In a nutshell, it marries voicemail and a call log. So what sets Verizon’s offering ...

We’ve been hearing a lot about Android recently, from delayed release dates to a video claiming to depict the fabled HTC Dream in action.

HTC and T-Mobile have been promising an Android-based device by the end of this year, but haven’t gone any further into the specifics. TmoNews is now claiming that the HTC ...

While sheer numbers don’t tell the whole story, it’s safe to say that Apple’s iPhone App store is off to a relatively impressive start. Steve Jobs informed the Wall Street Journal that over 60 million applications have been downloaded from the iTunes App Store since its launch about a month ago. That amounts to around $30 million in sales on pace to $360 million by the end of the year which is, umm, nothing to ...

Reportedly set to service their entire line of handsets, from the lowliest of low to the, well, moderately adequate smartphones, T-Mobile’s application store would be accessible directly from your mobile device.

What's notable from an unlocking perspective, however, is that Apple's 2.0.1 release also updates the iPhone 3G baseband.
