Well it took long enough!! Nokia has finally announced a  US-carrier subsidized version of one of their newer Symbian devices. The penta-band 3G toting device is pretty much a T-Mobile branded C7 with a somewhat updated firmware (somewhat of a halfway house between PR 1.2 and 2.0). The device comes with all the bells and […]

Software Update PR1.2 available soon for N8-00/C7-00/C6-01: (PR1.1 for E7-00)

Apparently from Nokia staff at Nokia Discussions (via Akram), PR1.2 is coming just before PR2.0 (but following on from PR1.1). It’s a minor update. This is called PR1.1 for E7 as its PR1.0 is equivalent to PR1.1 of the other S^3 handsets. As Kieth correctly points out, I think E7 has already picked up PR1.1 […]

AT&T to purchase T-Mobile for 39 Billion USDollars

| March 21, 2011 | 20 Replies

American Network AT&T is to Purchase T-Mobile for $39 Billion. This creates a GSM Behemoth for the US. What does that mean for Nokia handsets which were destined for T-Mobile? The acquisition will take at least a year to finalize so the Astound/Nuron 2 (+ whatever) should still be coming out. Hopefully this might make […]
