DailyTech reports that Subaru will be adding in-car WiFi to the 2011 Subaru Outback.
When I first read this news I thought “Well where does it get the service signal from? And as it turns out, it will be a 2.5G/3G cell service that costs $29/mo to owners that want to keep it activated. No news [...]

iPhone 4 3G Will Not Work on T-Mobile
Shortly after the iPad 3G was released a few diligent folks discovered that physically trimming down a T-Mobile SIM card to fit in the Micro-SIM slot of the iPad 3G allowed it to pickup a signal on the T-Mobile network and function.
Following this “success” with a few eye-catchingly-worded articles including the keywords “iPhone 4″, “T-Mobile” [...]
AT&T Announces No More Unlimited Data Plan for iPad
PRNewswire is reporting (more here) that today AT&T (the 3G carrier everyone loves) has announced that the $30/month, iPad unlimited data plan is no more for new customers. Instead the best you can get is a $25/month 2GB data plan.
Customers with existing unlimited data plans will be grandfathered in, but new iPad customers coming on [...]
Nexus One Poor 3G Signal Most Likely a Design Issue
We’ve been covering the Nexus One 3G connectivity problems for a while now. 2 weeks ago Google declared they got to the bottom of the problem, issuing an OTA update for the device to improve what we assumed would be connectivity behavior while in a 3G-covered area, but made it clear that this wouldn’t improve [...]
Nexus One 'Poor T-Mobile 3G Signal' Issue Discovered
Update #1: Google has responded to the long thread with an announcement that an over-the-air (OTA) update to help make the 3G connections more stable in 3G-covered areas will be coming out, but if you are outside of T-Mobile’s 3G coverage area (which is small) there will be no change in experience for you. Release [...]
Unpredictable 3G Coverage from T-Mobile on Nexus One
Update #5: Slashdot poster jtownatjunk.net made an interesting point in this comment, stating that cell phones are designed to constantly search for and lock into the strongest signal, not the fastest signal. Which was sensible logic up until about 2005 when high speed data networks started getting rolled out en-mass. Would be interesting if that [...]
T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 Review
Summary [8.0 out of 10]
The T-Mobile Sidekick LX is well-built piece of hardware combined with a customized Windows Mobile interface that some may love (teenagers?) but we don’t see it replacing any mobile warrior’s BlackBerries, iPhones or G1’s anytime soon.
Review
T-Mobile has released it’s latest iteration of the sidekick, the revamped 2007 version, the “Sidekick LX [...]
Trying to Work Around T-Mobile G1-Specific Data Plans May Backfire
We recently posted how to use the T-Mobile $20/mo EDGE data plan with your G1 (instead of the more expensive $24.99/mo T-Mobile G1 data plan), but it looks like this may not be all roses and flowers.
As it turns out, there is another workaround similar to this using the T-Mobile “Total Internet” data plan package [...]
T-Mobile G1 Android 1.1 Update Tomorrow
For all the 10 trillion people that got T-Mobile G1 phones today, you will have an Android 1.1 update pushed out to you over the data network tomorrow. We have no idea how this will work for folks that are still in non-3G areas, it’s possible the phone will detect no 3G connection and prompt [...]

True Cost of 3G iPhone: $6.66/mo More
Gizmodo put up a 3G iPhone True Cost comparison that I found interesting, especially given the shenanigans surrounding the 3G iPhone upcoming release (pertaining to AT&T’s lockdown).
It looks like when you consider the SMS fee and 3G fee, the new 3G iPhone will cost you a total of $160 more dollars in a 2 year [...]

AT&T Cracks Down on iPhone Unlockers
We have covered it here before that Apple got the long… really-long end of the stick when they partnered up with AT&T for the iPhone 1. Not only were they getting full price for their devices on each sale, but also a portion of the service contract, while AT&T got the rest.
It seems that with [...]
T-Mobile Begins 3G Rollout with New York
Update #1: When I originally wrote this article yesterday I had BlackBerry on the brain and wrote this as a “BlackBerry rolls out 3G” article… just replace every time I used “BlackBerry” with “T-Mobile”… uggg… I guess doing heroin THEN writing the news is a bad combo?
The ever-awaited T-Mobile 3G rollout has begun with the [...]
Sneak Peak at the BlackBerry 9000 / Niagara
BoyGenius had an article about the upcoming BlackBerry 9000-series (Niagara… which is the code-name for like 27 other corporate products from companies) that everyone was speculating was going to be a giant touch-screen back when the iPhone first dropped and rumors were abound.
Well now it looks like it is going to stay with the tried-and-true [...]
