As of August 30, 2008, SunCom will officially become T-Mobile and will operate under the T-Mobile brand. SunCom customers will be absorbed by T-Mobile and most SunCom dealers will become part of the T-Mobile dealer network.
SunCom operated its own independent GSM network in several southeastern states where T-Mobile has had little presence. The acquisition should have little effect on SunCom customers as T-Mobile operates... It's the third and final part of the battle of the beasts. This episode focuses on messaging and overall impressions. Specs? UI? Flexibility? What really does matter in a phone? Voice quality, even? Three of the heaviest heavyweights take center stage in part two of this PhoneDog Dogfight. In this corner - the iconic iPhone 3G. In that corner - the "Windows Mobile with a cherry on top" HTC Touch Diamond. And in, uh, that corner - the super-spec'd Samsung Omnia. Whose cuisine will reign supreme? A couple tips and tricks for the Instinct users on Phonedog...
Ever want to charge your Instinct with your computer and still talk? To charge your phone (usb-computer) just hit the push to talk button and then connect the usb cable. The home screen will pop up and allow you to still you use your phone while charging.
Sick of holding your Instinct while watching Sprint TV or sideloaded videos? The Instinct has a built in stand! ... Well i'm a Verizon Wireless person.. and i was always bored of the standard ringtones the phone comes with. I seemed to always buy second hand used phones from craig's list, so i didn't have those cables to hook up to the computer and sync things into. I wasn't allowed to buy ringtones either when i did get a new lg venus because then my parents will go ballistic on me, so i found a way to get it free. All you need... Welcome to the PhoneDog Family, Ryan! And no, Noah didn't get fired! :-D Noah takes us to Nvision 2008 in San Jose to get an up-close look at Nvidia's Tegra system on a chip platform for mobile devices. The first Tegra smartphones should be out in mid-2009. This demo makes 'em worth waiting for - for starters, Tegra sports 720p HDTV capture and playback and a slick 3D user interface. Check it out. Yesterday in San Jose I got up close and personal with a development version of Nvidia's Tegra platform for mobile devices. I was taken through a demo of Tegra at the Nvision 2008 conference, and came away impressed - relative to the fact that I was looking at a reference design that will never be available to the consumer public in its current form. Nvidia is selling these development boxes - built around the APX 2500... Symbian S60 phones are awesome. They're powerful, customizable, extendable, and capable of all sorts of trickery. And yet, Americans have never embraced them. Sure, there's a contingent of hardcore mobile enthusiasts who gladly laid down $600 when the Nokia N95 first came out, and dropped another $700 or so a few months later when the N95-3 (with North American 3G) followed suit. But most folks in the States don't know... The Nokia N79 is a feature packed quad band 3G enabled GSM semi smartphone. Key features include Wifi, GPS, 5.0 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Symbian OS 9.3, TV out, microSD(up to 8GB), HSDPA data, FM radio with transmitter, document viewer and stereo Bluetooth.

The HTC S740 offers the best of both worlds with its standard keypad up front combined with a slide out full QWERTY keyboard for more hardcore messaging. Key features include a 3.2 megapixel camera, Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, microSD slot, Wifi, GPS, Pocket Office, MP3 player and stereo Bluetooth capability.
The S740 is designed to offer the most flexible and efficient messaging experience on the market. From the design of its 12-key... JuiceCaster, the photo/video sharing application, is now available for free on the Blackberry Curve. Users can sign up to receive the JuiceCaster beta from here. The free beta application is available to Curve owners on AT&T and Verizon and will soon be available for Blackberry Pearl users (and for Blackberry users in Europe). JuiceCaster is the social media application that lets mobile phone users capture pictures and videos and... Tammy Walker of Moss Point, MS won week #11 of the Phonedog Days of Summer Giveaway. She won a brand new Samsung M520 courtesy of our friends at Samsung.
How does it feel to win Tammy...?
OOOHHH my God!!! Iam so exidet about this great win!Thank you thank you sooo much,I still cant hardly believe that I was that lucky.
Hey, remember Tegra, NVIDIA's mobile graphics system on a chip that got caught on video
back in June? I'm headed down to Nvidia's Nvision 2008 conference in
San Jose today to see if I can get an-person glimpse of Tegra in
action. I have been able to find much Tegra-related coming out of
Nvision thus far, save Eitarosoft's announcement that they've made Lamity, their 3D virtual world, available for the platform.Nvidia's getting... Three of the heaviest heavyweights take center stage in part one of this PhoneDog Dogfight. In this corner - the iconic iPhone 3G. In that corner - the "Windows Mobile with a cherry on top" HTC Touch Diamond. And in, uh, that corner - the super-spec'd Samsung Omnia. Whose cuisine will reign supreme? In the market for a high-end handset? Hang on to that wallet and get ready to drool: HTC and Nokia have four new pieces of advanced kit ready to battle for your hard-earned hundreds.
First up is the HTC S740, not to be confused with the Touch Pro. The S740, which will debut in Europe next month, takes design cues from the Touch Diamond, but loses the touchscreen in favor of a dialing pad on the front and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard... Noah goes in the box and hands-on with SE's new low-end Walkman phone, the w350. But can he leave his freshly shaven dome alone for long enough to look at the phone? I have a useful tip for Verizon's Samsung Glyde.
Everyone probably has some idea about or uses speed dial, right. For me, I normally use speed dials 2 through 9 (which gives you 8 speedy contacts you can reach with just two taps) because it can be too many contacts to remember to enter all contacts in all speed dials after speed dial nine.
Now, you can go ahead and move on to speed dials 10 and on but you'll to take another second to tap... Blue 44! Blue 44! Set ... Down ... Hike!Sorry ... I've been watching Hard Knocks on HBO and the name "Blitz" just set me off. Back at CTIA in April I saw a strange, squarish messaging phone at the UT Starcom booth. Four months later that odd little QWERTY phone is available to you, the lucky consumer, as the new Verizon Wireless Blitz.Who's gonna buy this flat, wide sliderphone? Kids, of course! Check out this... Verizon Wireless today launched the LG Voyager Titanium, a modest refresh to their flagship VCAST Messaging device. The new Voyager features support for VZW's new Visual Voicemail service and VCAST Music with Rhapsody for compatibility with Rhapsody's over the air music store. The new Voyager otherwise seems to be the same as the original,
