Well, here we go again with telecom mergers. Reports that Verizon and Alltel were in talks of a buy out to the tune of $27 million surfaced yesterday, and they made it official today, only that it is more like $28.1 million and they hope to have the transaction completed by the end of the year. Of course this is all subject to approval by regulatory committees and such, so we can all wait

I recently sent an inquiry in about software updates for the Mogul and Touch in through a dedicated channel for questions for Sprint Dealers.The following is the email that I sent:There have been rumors as of late about rom upgrdes for the HTC Touch and Mogul. Can you reveal the release date for these software upgrades? Also can you confirm or deny if these updates will or will not include

I have met people that are interested in using bit torrent for file sharing purposes but find that people do not really understand it or how to use it. Even though once could probably google the topic and find many how tos I felt that I would try and write a simple blog on it.Bittorrent is a file sharing system that allows people from all over the world to share and share alike.

I have not posted in a while, and am sorry but hope to get more of a groove going. I know there are different release dates for the Treo 800w on Sprint rolling around out there, and the general consensus is sometime in July. That being said I had a Sprint employee (and we are not talking store or general customer service) that the release date was July 13th.I have no idea how accurate that is and

Apparently The Wall Street Journal is camping in Sprint's office as of late. Over the weekend they reported that Deutsch Telekom was looking in to a buyout, Monday they reported Sprint was thinking about spinning off Nextel, and now today they are saying Wimax lives (so to speak.)The report is saying that Sprint has worked up a deal with Clearwire, who if you recall has already talked with Sprint

For the record these are not mine. I am far away from London, but would love to have my hands on this right now. Keep an eye in. You can troll youtube for clips or check back here. Whenever I find a hands on video I will add it. It looks pretty fluid with minimal lag (some is to be expected) and I like the use of directional pad (if you can call it that.)

So, I was looking a bit closer at the Diamond pictures and this one is named accessories. Seeing earphones and a charger is no big deal, but has HTC even mad an official Attractive Dock for this phone. I want a video about the dock.I am going to leave the computer in a moment, and read some later this evening. I am sure there will be more info out then.

This has a really good looking design (better than I imagined.)The Diamond will come with a VGA Screen, Orientation sensor, GPS and apparently all of the specs that were leaked. Opera Mobile 9 will be built in to the rom and a built in Youtube App (that they say will be the best mobile youtube experience) are a few things that we have not heard yet. (They had Google's help developing the app.)

May of you probably know that there is a press conference in London tomorrow for HTC. Rumours (since it is London I feel it is only appropriate to spell it this way)have been swirling about what it would be about. Many people thought that it would be about Dream, HTC's first device running Android, but now the consensus is that it will be about the new Handset that has leaked, the HTC Diamond. I

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Sprint is considering spinning off Nextel. This is hot off of the heels of reports from many places but also WSJ that Deutsch Telekom was considering purchasing Sprint. This is very interesting to say the least. The report is saying that the purchasers would be a group of investment bankers apparently lead by Nextel's founder, Morgan O'Brian. The company

So, everyone is piling up on Sprint. I think that Sprint CEO Dan Hesse is probably thinking right now, man can I get a break. A lot of people thought that Hesse could be the man to right the ship for Sprint but the problem may be that he is just too late. Gary Forsee while running this company apparently while doing war with the other cell carriers decide to turn the canon towards his own ship

Boy Genius Report is reporting a new Blackberry Device that is a flip phone. It is sporting a suretype keyboard as seen on the Pearl, the Pearl trackball, an internal and external lcd screen. It is allegedly coming before the end of the year.

Sooooo, if you recall correctly, when I reported the release of a new rom that had evdo rev. a on it for alltel, I made mention of an online community getting it on to other carriers. Well, they were successful, and I can say that I now am running an Alltel rom on my Sprint Touch. Everything works just fine, and there is a work around that was able to get GPS working. I have not been able to test

That is a pretty good deal, but if you are looking to get an iPhone for that, too bad. It is the only one left off. You can get a Tilt made by HTC, and codenamed the Kaiser (TyTn II) however. This is a fantastic deal if you have been looking to get a good deal on any new model. Oh, how about that, there is an AT&T ad for Amazon at the top of this blog. You know what to do (wink, wink.)Reported by

Nokia and Spike Lee are hooking up with Yahoo to promote this monstrously monstrous marketing idea. The premise is to allow people o send in video that they have taken from their cell phones to go in to this contest. Lee will have some involvement that will result in short films and 3 winners. They say that this is not a marketing play, but it sure seems like one to me. They are wanting people to

While this may not have activated gps like many people were hoping for, this is a software update that has enabled EVDO Rev. A to work on this device. Who knows what other changes were put on this rom (good or bad?) At this point some of the usual suspects tot eh Windows Mobile world are trying to rip this puppy to pieces and get it working on other carrier's devices. They are even some people

This is a pretty sweet video of a system that his guy made that will play Atari 2600, NES, SNES, and Genesis games. It is pretty interesting to look at and may cause a wave of nostalgia to roll over your body, but other than that nothing much going on here. After you watch the youtube video check out his website.

So if you are not familiar with HTC it is because their products have had various names on them. Commonly branded as the carrier on the device that they are carried on and sometimes something else like UT Starcomm (example HTC Apache= Verzon XV6700 or Sprint ppc-6700.) Well HTC decided to step out of the limelight and use their own name on some devices (i.e. HTC Mogul or HTC Touch carried by

Oh if this is true, prepared to be blown away. Apparently someone has leaked some shots that show the upcoming HTC devices codenamed Raphael and Diamond are coming, and they are coming to Sprint. This is fantastic news to Sprint subscribers who love the look of the Sony Xperia X1 that is salted for a GSM release (probably AT&T.)The Diamond is allegedly a replacement for the Touch and Raphael is
