T-Mobile’s Customer Delight Day today!
Well the name is kind of lame, but if your a T-Mobile customer or wanted to become one today (Saturday November 15), is the day to do it as T-Mobile has named today T-Mobile’s Customer Delight Day where you can stop by one of their participating stores and get free crap. Here's what they're offering:
The T-mobile G1 carrier contract is a rip off
So iSuppli who has become the export on this sort of thing have just released a study on the components cost of the new T-Mobile G1 and granted that's without labor costs, software, or research and development, but they've determined the phone costs about $144 for HTC to make.
Why is that significant?
Android news: Google has a kill switch!
Google might have a "do no evil" moto but the question is who decides what's evil?
People reading the fine print of their T-Mobile G1 might be curious to find that, Google has installed a kill switch in their Android OS, meaning that any time Google sees fit, they can delete any application on your cell phone by remote. They can also kill you.
Friend of Bonnie Somerville shot after T-Mobile G1 launch party
Tragedy struck after the official launch party of the T-Mobile G1, as after actress Bonnie Somerville left the party with a friend at 2am, a teenage black male came up to her demanding her purse. Somerville screamed, causing the man to shoot her friend in the lower back with a .22 handgun.
The suspect then demanded, "Bitch, gimme your purse or you'll get shot too!"
Android error: The G1 did not presell 1.5 million units!
When I heard the news that preorders for The T-Mobile G1, the first phone to feature Google's Android OS, had sold 1.5 million copies I was shocked.
When Marin Perez read the news he was shocked and suspicious. So he contacted Anders Byland of Motley Fool who wrote the article that originally quoted that 1.5 million figure and asked how he arrived at it.
Android already a hit - 1.5 million G1s preordered
The T-Mobile G1 doesn't officially come out for another 10 days but if the preorders are any indication, and 1.5 million is a HUGE indication, than it looks like Google's Android OS and the G1 are going to make a big splash October 22nd.
That figure represents actual customer orders, not units shipping to retail.
price compare: which carrier has the cheapest cell phone plan?
It's an oversimplification but basically T-Mobile.
The cheapest monthly plan you can get through T-Mobile is $29.99 which gets you 300 whenever minute, unlimited free weekend minutes, and free long distance and roaming. Sprint's Basic 200 plan is nearly as good, while it only gives you 200 anytime minutes, it also gives free Sprint roaming, unlimited free weekends and adds unlimited free minutes after 9pm.
