Promises don’t mean much, but keeping T-Mobile’s lower-priced plans is important.
Details on the proposal remain vague, though it will likely include promises to keep T-Mobile’s low-cost data and calling plans.
I dismissed the Galaxy Note right off the bat, but perhaps it does have a use case. I think Samsung did it an injustice by marketing it as a “fourth device” to compliment the smartphone, tablet, and laptop.
I got some hands-on time with the Note yesterday and…kind of liked it. It’s still not clear whether there’s a big market for a phone this humongous. (Let’s face it: If you hold it up to your ear to make a call, you’re going to look silly.)
It’s called the FREETALK Connect Me adaptor. Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. “T-Mobile has been an important source of competition among the national carriers, including through innovation and quality enhancements such as the roll-out of the first nationwide high-speed data network,” Acting Assistant Attorney General Sharis A. Pozen said in a statement announcing the DOJ suit to block the deal. “Unless this merger is blocked, competition and innovation will be reduced, and consumers will suffer.”
Big surprise — the late Sept. date everyone was reporting now appears to be incorrect. In any case, this should be a nice shot in the arm for Sprint, who will also start carrying the iPhone 4. My main question is: will their version have WiMAX goodness?
“One thing is more clear than ever before: between iMessages, Beluga, GroupMe, Kik, Google’s new Huddle feature of Google+, and now Facebook Messenger, SMS is under complete and utter assault.”
Leftsetz makes some interesting points. I see what he’s saying about “dressing up in outfits” — stay true to your roots — but it never hurts to look nice.
