The nation’s fourth largest wireless provider is but days behind Verizon in issuing Android 4.4 to the Moto X T-Mobile is the next carrier to see the Android 4.4 KitKat update rolling out to the Moto X. An updated post on Motorola’s blog tells us that the nation’s fourth…
T-Mobile myTouch 4G Video
When T-Mobile officially announced the existence of the next-gen myTouch handset, it simply referred to it as the new myTouch.
Not the myTouch 4G due to its HSPA+ powered networking, or the myTouch HD because of the 720p shooting. Nope, simply the new myTouch.
However, the tech industry seems to be calling this device the myTouch 4G so we’ll go with that. You can’t keep calling something new you see, because eventually, well, it gets old.
So, enjoy this video of the T-Mobile myTouch 4G that reveals pre-Gingerbread video calling, some HD shooting and a nice AV streaming service.
The phone should be out, in the US, “in time for the holidays”. UK myTouch fans are unlikely to see an official launch – so it could be a case of scouring eBay if you’re desperate for one.
T-Mobile G2 getting an OTA update to add WiFi calling and tethering?
A few readers tipped us off this morning about an OTA update for T-Mobile’s G2 which reportedly activates Wi-Fi calling. The news came via the XDA-Developers forum, and users there are also reporting that Hotspot capability has also been activated with this update.
The update seems to be pushing out fairly slowly, so this is likely being done as a test run first before the flood gates officially open. If you’re a G2 owner and have received this update, please leave us a comment below and let us know!

T-Mobile Announces the LG Optimus T
Today, T-Mobile have officially announced the LG Optimus T, which looks like it’s an Optimus One made especially for T-Mobile.
The Optimus T will be aimed at first-time smartphone buyers. It will come with Android 2.2 and deep integration with Google services including Voice actions (customers can control the phone by speaking commands to call, text, email, find directions and so on).
The LG Optimus T will have a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with video capture, a microSD card slot and a 2GB card in the sales package.
If the other specs are indeed identical to the Optimus One, expect this handset to also have a 3.2-inch 320×480 capacitive touchscreen, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth. The battery should be 1500 mAh in case it’s the same as that in the Optimus One.
T-Mobile G2 review
It’s been a long road to the T-Mobile G2 (and this review). Just two years ago, Android made its entrance into the smartphone market with the G1, a partnership with the fourth-place carrier, and a lot of promises about keeping things open. Since then we’ve seen the likes of the Droid family, Google’s Nexus One, and the powerhouses that are the Samsung Galaxy S line — to name a few. Yes, the Android landscape has become more than just a little crowded. But of those many, there are few who leap beyond what we’ve come to expect from the Google-backed enterprise into the realm of the top tier. For all the Android devices you can purchase, only a few rise above the noise. At a glance, the G2 looks like one of those handsets — designed and manufactured by HTC (and known as the Desire Z in Europe), outfitted with a (nearly) stock build of Android 2.2, and equipped with T-Mobile’s new HSPA+, which the carrier claims can offer network speeds nearly equivalent to 4G. So is the G2 the sum of its parts — the pure Android experience you’ve been waiting for — or does it fall short of the hype? Find out below in the full Engadget review! Read more
