When the Galaxy S III hit U.S. carriers, T-Mobile was apparently the only carrier who failed to get the pricing memo. Magenta gave their customers the shaft by pricing the Galaxy S III $80 higher than every other U.S. carrier. While everyone else was paying $199.99 for a brand new shiny Pebble Blue Galaxy S III, T-Mobile customers had to angst over whether or not to pay an inflated $279.99. Well angst no more my Magenta mob, Wirefly has you covered.

If you’re not familiar with the ninja unboxings, they’re a sight to see. I’m not a UFC follower so this one is a little on the weird side for me, but we’ll let you be the judge.

Well… picture a backyard BBQ full of people who all share your affinity for Android and then multiply it by a googol. You spend countless hours reading Android blogs, listening to podcasts, and interacting via forums, hangouts, etc. and the Big Android BBQ is a way for us all to actually hang out, eat some great BBQ, and talk Android (or whatever else comes to mind).

Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE customers will be happy to know an update is being pushed out to not only fix the ongoing Google Wallet issues, but to also fix a variety of other pesky bugs. The Google Wallet fix is refreshing, especially considering Sprint has been the only carrier to official endorse Google’s mobile payment system.
