HTC’s next member of their One family of smartphones, the HTC One Mini (previously known as the HTC M4) is rumored to be landing in T-Mobile stores sometime this summer. HTC developer @LLabTooFeR tweeted that all signs point to a T-Mobile release, with no word on availability through other carriers. The One Mini is one of two rumored devices being released by HTC alongside the HTC One Max, HTC’s newest entry into the phablet market.

The HTC One Mini is rumored to pack a dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM, Ultrapixel camera and Sense 5 all packed into the same aluminum design as the One, front-facing BoomSound speakers included.

As the market for small phones shrinks (pun intended), a device of this caliber is much needed. Let us know below if this device piques your interest.

New Nexus 7 may support Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile LTE bands

The rumors for the unannounced new Nexus 7 just keep flooding in. This time, we have an FCC filing that shows the new version of our favorite 7 inch tablet will sport LTE bands for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. And no, that doesn’t mean there will be three different models for each carrier; this is one model of Nexus 7 that has all of the radios built in for (potential) carrier hopping. Well, except for Sprint. Sorry Sprint guys.

The filing shows LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 13, and 17, which covers all of the major US carriers. All of them use some band 4, especially T-Mobile, and Verizon and AT&T use band 13 and 17 respectively. Of course, there’s still that tricky issue of not having LTE coverage, and the filing shows that this Nexus has bands for AT&T’s HSPA+ network. So, essentially, the device may be built for AT&T’s network, but will “support” other networks as well. Take it with a grain of salt, but keep your ears open.

If you’ve been itching to pick up a Galaxy S 4 on the nation’s new uncarrier, now’s an excellent time to be shopping around. For a month, T-Mobile is dropping the price of Samsung’s latest flagship to just $99 down with $20 payments over 20 months. This brings the total price of the phone down to $579. Alongside the S 4, T-Mobile is also dropping the down payments of the Note II to $169 and the Galaxy S III to $49, so there are some pretty great savings on other Samsung flagship devices as well.

If you want to take advantage of these deals, you have until July 13th. You’ve got a month, go grab a new phone.

T-Mobile launches ‘Bring your own device’ program on MetroPCS

Recently T-Mobile has been able to officially secure its purchase of MetroPCS. Its first move is to get users to start using their GSM based service, or vice versa with Metro’s CDMA technology. In a sense, customers can go into a MetroPCS store with a device and activate it using T-Mobile’s GSM bands. The same can also be said with MetroPCS customers as they can head into T-Mobile stores and have their CDMA device activated. The MetroPCS BYOD program is only available in Boston, Dallas, Hartford, and Las Vegas with plans to expand soon.

Of course T-Mobile’s future plans for MetroPCS is to eventually use their LTE bands to help broaden theirs. That will take some time and I see this BYOD program a good step into getting customers into using both T-Mobile’s and MetroPCS’ service. This program is only for Android, iPhone and Windows devices. Sadly Blackberry phones will not be supported.

It looks like T-Mobile is making good on a rumor made back in May suggesting that they would be releasing an LTE variant of the ever popular Galaxy S 3.  If you head on over to T-Mobile’s web site you’ll see that you can pick up this device for lowly price of $69.99 down and $20 per month for the 2-year contract. If you’re just wanting to pick up the device itself you’ll pay $549.99 out of pocket. Whichever way you decide, it’ll land you the Marble White 16GB version of the device. We’re not sure if we’ll see different colors or storage options down the road.

Even though it’s recommended that you drop the extra few dollars on either the Galaxy S 4 or the HTC One this still makes for a great mid-range phone for those who aren’t out for the latest and greatest. Of course we have our own recommendations but we’ll let you make the decision. If you’re looking for a device that’s still top notch, you can hit the source link below. Enjoy!

Fans of CyanogenMod 10.1 who also happen to own a new Samsung Galaxy S 4 or HTC One will be glad to know the CyanogenMod team has been hard at work making some new variants available and they have cleaned up some of the download pages to make it a bit easier to find the files. The newest variants include AT&T versions for both the Galaxy S 4 and the HTC One. Nightlies for the Galaxy S 4 had previously been made available for T-Mobile and Canadian versions of the device. Apparently AT&T support only required a patch to a previous build. » Read the rest

We know that many of you T-Mobile customers have been itching for that HTC One smartphone for some time now, but as with other wireless carriers— there have been some minor shipping and stocking delays, so you may not have had a chance to grab the device just yet. Fortunately T-Mo has been working to get its stock filled up and is seemingly ready to offer the popular smartphone to its customers in the immediate future. According to the gang at TmoNews, sources at T-Mo believe that the wireless carrier will re-launch the device next Wednesday, June 5th, at various T-Mo locations nationwide. This means that customers will finally be able to get their hands on the intriguing device featuring a quad-core processor, gorgeous display, UltraPixel camera and Beats Audio, among other things at long last.

The device should run customers about $100 for you UNcarrier plan holders— so it certainly makes the device just a wee bit more appealing than it already was before. If you’re a T-Mo customer and are in the market for a new phone, will you grab one?

As all four of the big US carriers board the 4G LTE train it would be only a matter of time before a comparison study involving them came to be. While Verizon has the upper hand in the LTE market with roughly 95% of its 3G network covered with LTE speeds, AT&T is quickly rolling out its LTE service. They’re doing that while maintaining their quick 4G services as well. However as carriers focus on their LTE services the use of 3G networks are still prevalent. So the handoff between 3G and 4G networks is important.

A Galaxy Note II was used to measure the LTE speeds while an iPhone 4S was used to measure 3G speeds as both those devices are offered on all four networks. Hit the break to see how everyone ranked.
