Review: T-Mobile G2, the best GSM Android device you can buy

The issues are few and far between on this powerful slider.

I've spent the last five days playing with T-Mobile's new G2 Android smartphone.  It is Senseless (in a good way) Android 2.2 in a slider keyboard format, similar in size/form factor to the Motorola Droid and Droid 2.  It has a sharp 5 MP shooter with bright flash, a 3.7 inch bright LCD display and an optical scroll.  T-Mobile touts MORE

T-Mobile gets VoIP right

Finally, a carrier decides to use a better technology for their customers.

Details are starting to emerge on T-Mobile's new VoIP service that lets customers switch over to Wi-Fi when the T-Mobile signal is no longer strong enough to take a call.  T-Mobile explains it like this:

Wi-Fi Calling for Android is built upon the same technology as UMA, but is a different implementation from our past offerings. While T-Mobile's current Wi-Fi MORE

T-Mobile opens orders for pure Android experience

For those of us who want a pure experience, the way Google intended, we now have an(other) option.

Like most people, I hate those skins that manufacturers put on top of Android to try to differentiate their product. Unfortunately, fewer and fewer phones are coming out without some sort of manufacturer overlay to dilute that experience.

Thankfully, T-Mobile, the carrier that originally took a chance with Android, offering the G1 almost two MORE

What if Verizon never gets an iPhone?

Android report card: Which carriers make the grade?

U.S. mobile carriers, for better or worse, have as much say on your Android experience as the hardware manufacturer.

I rated Android handset manufacturers earlier this morning.

There are four major carriers and a few minor carriers in the U.S. and all of them offer at least a few Android handsets. But it's what they do with their handsets that differentiate them. Each carrier has their own pricing and coverage differences as well. I'm not MORE

Samsung announces Galaxy Tab will be on all 4 major US networks

Samsung announced that they're selling 2 million Galaxy S Android phones on all four major networks.  They're going with the same strategy on Tabs.

It is hard to argue with Samsung's strategy of making their phones available across all carriers.  They announced that they are about to cross the 2 million Galaxy S phone mark in just over two months of sales in the U.S.  They expect to have sold five MORE

Why T-Mobile is Sprint's best hope

With Clearwire experiencing growing pains, Sprint's best option for 4G expansion might be turning to a rival competitor for cash.

Sometimes the best allies are also the unlikeliest.

This might be the case if T-Mobile invests in Clearwire (CLWR), which is majority-owned by Sprint (S). Currently, Clearwire offers fourth-generation (4G) wireless network coverage to more than 41 million people throughout the U.S., but it plans to expand further to cover 120 MORE

Verizon and Apple at loggerheads?

"Important details still being ironed out," writes analyst. Could T-Mobile and Sprint be next?

Apple (AAPL) needs another carrier to maintain the iPhone's current rate of growth in the U.S., says Kaufman Bros.'s Shaw Wu in a note to clients Monday, but it doesn't necessarily have to be Verizon (VZ).

According to Wu, Apple's share of AT&T's (T) 90-million subscriber base is approaching saturation. Verizon, with 93 million subscribers, would be the MORE
