Sidekick Getting Canceled Too, Just One Day After Kin

by Robert Quigley | 4:19 pm, July 1st

This is just not a good summer to be selling dumbphones. Just a day after Microsoft‘s announcement that they and Verizon would discontinue the Kin after just six weeks, T-Mobile is axing their Sidekick LX and Sidekick 2008 phones, effective tomorrow.

Whereas Microsoft at least said that they’d continue to sell their remaining stock of Kin phones in the U.S., T-Mobile is taking an even more drastic tack: They won’t be selling Sidekicks anywhere, be it in stores or online.

T-Mobile Leak: Big Push for Android Apps Coming, with 200-Page, Full-Color App Book

by Robert Quigley | 2:36 pm, June 10th

PhoneDog has gotten ahold of a leaked internal guide for T-Mobile employees that details a new strategy underway at the mobile provider: Apparently, they’re going to start pushing Android and BlackBerry apps in a big way starting at or around June 16th.

Speculation aside, the guide says that by June 16th, T-Mobile will be giving an “Android App Guide” to Android customers to help them navigate the universe of Android apps. There’ll also be something called the “Android App Book,” which’ll run at 200 full-color pages and be given to customers who purchase Android devices “during the activation and on-boarding process.” Customers who don’t qualify will be able to buy them from T-Mobile stores or Barnes & Noble. (They’re not currently available at Barnes & Noble’s website, however.)

by Jonah Bliss | 4:48 pm, April 2nd

Recently, a number of cable companies have been dropping hints about offering cellphone / wireless Internet service. So far they’ve just been baby steps, with a small test rollout here, or a limited test deployment there. But thus far, none of the CableCos really have much to show for all their talk.

But the cable companies need to think bigger, much bigger: If they do, both you and they will end up winners. Here’s why:
