I’ve made no secret of the fact that if it weren’t for the Wilson Electronics AG Pro 75 Celluar Signal Booster, mobile phone service at my house would be pitiful; we would have likely had to incur the (possibly substantial) expense of putting in a landline. I live outside a rural community and in the middle [...]

T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 810 with Windows Phone 8 Review
Welcome to this review of the new Nokia Lumia 810 running Windows Phone 8; now leave. Well, leave and come back after reading Judie’s extensive review of the HTC 8X Windows Phone 8. Why? First off, it is an excellent review. Second, in that review Judie spends a good deal of time talking about Windows [...]
In Defense of Landlines
This week had a rough start here in New Jersey. Something like 80% of the state lost power, and we were no exception in our household. While we don’t have a landline, we do have cell phones, and were extremely grateful to never lose signal, even as cable and then electricity dropped. Our neighbor across [...]
T-Mobile Announces Wallet Friendly ‘True’ 4G Unlimited Data Plans; No Really, Coming Sept 5th
Images courtesy of T-Mobile Magenta had a nice little press release the other day announcing nationwide unlimited 4G plans coming next month. Now we all know what carriers call “unlimited” is usually capped at about 5 GB, but this one is really an all-you-can-eat data plan. The best part is that it’s only going [...]
What to Do When You Lose 800k Customers? Change Your Spokesmodel’s Wardrobe!
Or at least that seems to be the approach T-Mobile is taking! After reporting that they managed to bleed more than 800,000 customers in the US alone during the fourth quarter of last year, T-Mobile is calling 2012 a ‘building year’, meaning they will continue to lose money and bleed customers, and that hopefully someone [...]
The Wilson Electronics AG Pro 75 Was Worth the Upgrade
It’s no secret that if you live or work in an area that isn’t in the middle of a strong cellular coverage zone, your mobile phone signal is going to suffer. That’s one of the things I knew I would have to deal with when I moved to the ranch, but I wasn’t about to let [...]
T-Mobile to be Premier Launch Partner in the U.S. for the HTC One S
We have a bit more news on HTC’s new HTC One line coming out of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It seems T-Mobile will be the premier launch partner in the U.S. for the HTC One S. The HTC One S will be T-Mobile’s next smartphone to take advantage of the company’s speedy 4G (HSPA+42) [...]
T-Mobile Cashing in on Aquisition Failure; Spectrum Upgrade Coming Soon Courtesy of AT&T
Image Courtesy T-Mobile Today is a good day for T-Mobile customers. This morning the FCC listed the filing for a $1 billion transfer of Spectrum from AT&T to T-Mobile. This pretty much means to the common consumer that T-Mobile will be getting some more bandwidth to grow their GSM network. If you followed the deal [...]
T-Mobile Working Hard (At Apple Stores) To Fight Lack of iPhone
Poor T-Mobile. They are now the only major mobile carrier in the US not carrying the iPhone. With the release of the iPhone 4S, now AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint have the iPhone 4 and 4S. Which leaves T-Mobile as the odd man out. But T-Mobile is trying to fight back. First, they issued a press [...]
The Samsung Galaxy S II Brings Some Heavy Hardware Specs and Much Needed Features to US Shores
So the day has finally come where the official announcement has been made for the Samsung Galaxy S II to hit US soil. The press conference is under way right now (Dan is there as I type), and just as we thought details are slim. A 4.5″ SAMOLED+ screen is destined for AT&T, T-Mobile, and [...]
Mobile 4G & LTE, Just a Faster Way to Hit Your Data Cap?
Image courtesy of Droid-Life What drives me nuts about mobile carriers these days is that I truly believe they are using new technology against us. Maybe you think I’m out of my mind, but it’s really easy to see the common trend happening with 3 of the 4 big carriers in the US. As [...]
LG G2X Screen Bleeding Issues Continue; No More Returns Accepted at T-Mobile
(If you aren’t familiar with the ongoing issues Francis has had with his G2X, be sure to see his initial explanation here: Original G2X Screen Bleed Article) Last week I wrote up a quick post about sending in my G2X to T-Mobile due to excessive screen bleeding issues. After receiving a new phone, returning a [...]
My Heart Bleeds as Much as the Screen on My LG G2X; Warranty Phone #1 Is on the Way
LG recently brought all their IPS goodness to Android with the Introduction of the T-Mobile G2X. Before getting this phone I was happily running a HD2 that still holds a spot on my shelf as my number one backup phone. With more dual core superphones launching by the minute, LG really had not dropped a [...]
T-Mobile Goes “Ludicrous Speed” with HSPA+ (42Mbps) in over 50 US Cities
Image courtesy of T-Mobile This year has been all about 4G. ’4G’ refers to the newest high-speed data transfer protocol used by cell phone carriers for smartphones. 4G coverage is spotty at best no matter which carrier your contract is with. Every carrier now has some form of 4G, and as we all know some are [...]
T-Mobile G2x with Google Android Phone Features Dual-Core Tegra 4G Speeds and More
T-Mobile just announced a very sweet Android phone that has features that are making a few of us here at Gear Diary stand up and take notice. What makes it such an attractive phone? Read on for details. The T-Mobile G2x (by LG), not to be confused with the T-Mobile G2 (which has a hardware [...]
