After striking comedic gold in its very first season with a sketch about Mel's Char Palace, SNL's writers soon ...

Share A reader writes: These Android smartphones look pretty hot. It seems they can do everything the iPhone does, but they come in more flavors, from more companies. So what's the best one to get? Dear Reader: The Android operating system may be the first serious competitor to the iPhone platform -- with a slick interface and tons of cool applications. Unlike Apple's tightly policed Apps ...

It's only been a week since its release, but already it seems the Nexus One's pink fluffy cloud has dissipated. Practically since the moment the first consumer got his or her hands on the device, complaints have come flying from all directions. The first of those complaints, and perhaps the most worrisome for the average user, is the device's reportedly flaky 3G connection. Google support ...

Yesterday the mighty, mighty T-Mob stood up and called AT&T a chump. The exclusive iPhone holder, not wanting to look like a punk in front of all its cellular friends, responded in kind. It shook free the shackles of 3.6Mbps and, in one fell swoop, threw the switch on the 7.2Mbps network upgrade it said wouldn't come till 2012. Such an upgrade should offer a huge speed improvement for users. ...

T-Mobile is throwing down the gauntlet and making it clear that other carriers are going to have to start bringing their A-game. We already knew that the Nexus One, Google's new flagship Android device, would be available on T-Mobile for $179.99 with a two-year contract. And to accompany the launch of the new fancy phone on the block, the mighty T-Mob has upgraded its entire 3G network from ...

Okay, technically Google's Nexus One is not part of the CES product barrage. The latest Android handset is to be officially unveiled tomorrow at a press event in Google's hometown of Mountain View, California. The phone features a large, high-resolution screen like the Droid, but packs a much faster processor and twice the RAM, making it speedier than the already blazing Verizon flagship model. ...

T-Mobile is apparently offering a scintillating ('Titillating' would have been far too easy and predictable.) new feature for people with online accounts: pics of naked girls. The Consumerist is reporting that when T&A- T-Mobile subscriber "Andrew" signed in to his account to check a bill payment recently, a picture of an unfamiliar, topless female appeared on his profile page, within his ...

Today, T-Mobile is announcing the Android-powered myTouch 3G smartphone, the followup to the G1, released less than a year ago. Aside from a sleeker case design, the biggest change we're seeing is that the new HTC-designed phone foregoes a physical keyboard for a virtual one, like the iPhone or BlackBerry Storm. The 3.2" touch-screen phone packs a 3.2-megapixel camera, 4 gigabytes of microSD ...

Phones are small, earn a good amount of money on the black market, and are easily transferred from user to user. This makes them an alluring proposition for thieves. Surprisingly, though, it's not the iPhone or a BlackBerry that's seeing the most thefts -- it's T-Mobile's Sidekick. According to Boston police, last year more than 300 Sidekicks were stolen -- that's 14-percent of all robberies ...

We still don't know whether to call it the Sidekick 2009 or the Sidekick Blade, but either way, T-Mobile's upcoming hiptop has finally been caught on camera, looking just as it did in a survey from last month and later via render. Unfortunately, we can't glean any specs from the image, but the aforementioned questionnaire listed 3G, a 3.2-inch WVGA display, 3.2 megapixel camera, microSD card ...

At this point, it's tough to say the Memoir wasn't official with a straight face, but Samsung and T-Mobile have jointly disclosed all (er, most) of the remaining details that were so sorely missing here at Mobile World Congress. The 8 megapixel handset will boast a Xenon flash, CMOS auto focus and 16x digital zoom, not to mention a full touchscreen and a sophisticated camera menu that enables ...

In the U.K., T-Mobile is running a popular commercial that shows people at a London train station engaging in a seemingly random -- yet thoroughly choreographed -- dance session. Using Facebook to spread the word, a fan decided to recreate this with a flash mob silent rave of the type we saw in New York City last spring. However, the recreation (check out the video) was ultimately far more ...

Without a doubt, 2009 is destined to be the year of The Android. Samsung earlier this week announced its ticket to the party with a Q2 launch of its Android phones on both Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile in the US. Apparently, the touch-screen device will be an adaptation of the Omnia (Korea's 800 x 480 pixel version please) and Instinct. In other words, a rectangle with a full-screen display and ...

We never thought we'd live to see the day that digital photo frames had cooler phones than our parents. Actually, okay, that doesn't surprise us at all -- and T-Mobile's helping us live out that reality with the Cameo, its Parrot-sourced frame that features integrated GSM hardware and a dedicated phone number that lets loved ones shoot pictures to it from afar via MMS or email. The rumored ...

Well, now isn't this something? Best Buy has its fancy little iPhone 3G, but it'll be Wally World offering up the G1 outside of official T-Mobile outlets. As we'd heard yesterday, 550 Wal-Mart stores across the country will begin selling the Android-powered handset beginning tomorrow, and folks who opt to pick one up here versus a traditional T-Mob store will save $31.11. Yep -- according to ...
