We assume this is sporting a VGA camera, but Samsung might surprise us with a [...]

Ready for some exclusive Hotspot@Home action? Good. The Samsung T339 is a T-Mobile branded handset with Wi-Fi, Quad-Band EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, and shockingly stylish looks. We’re not exactly sure how much this will cost, but expect it to slot in towards the lower end of the spectrum (like pretty much everything else T-Mobile [...]

There’s good news, and there’s bad news. First the positive side. A new Sidekick model has just cleared the FCC certification process. There are two rumored new devices on the way, and we’re honestly not sure if this is the new Sidekick Gekko or Aspen, as the FCC label identified it only as the Sharp [...]

Just as we predicted, a special red version of the Sidekick Slide has hit the streets. The Sidekick Slide Crimson is functionally identical to its purple brother, sporting EDGE, 1.3 megapixel camera, slide out QWERTY keyboard, Danger’s stellar AIM client, and a bit more. It’s not going to win any awards for "Innovation of the [...]

This one will stay firmly in the rumor pile for the time being, but a report out of Germany points to an impending T-Mobile takeover of Sprint Wireless. On the surface, the move would make sense.
