As we approach the UK launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III, T-Mobile UK has gone ahead an started taking pre-orders, as well as outlining all of their available plans. The majority of you out there will probably want to go with the “Full Monty” plan, which includes unlimited texts, data, Tmo-to-Tmo calls and 2000 minutes for £36 per month. Users who sign up for the “Full Monty” will be able to score a Samsung Galaxy S III for the low price of £49.99.
Last month, Samsung added a new FAQ section to outline which devices would be receiving Ice Cream Sandwich, and while all the major carriers were listed, T-Mobile was the only one lacking any information. That section has finally been updated and we now have an idea of which T-Mobile Samsung devices will be getting the Android 4.0 update.
Back in March, T-Mobile announced Ice Cream Sandwich would be coming to the HTC Sensation 4G and Amaze 4G, unfortunately they gave no specific dates for the updates. Well, that documentation has been updated and we now know that the Sensation 4G will be getting Android 4.0 this Wednesday, with the Amaze 4G coming in the next weeks.
You may have seen the above image making its rounds today, depicting the 400 devices used for Android app testing by the company Animoca. While Animoca themselves embrace the choices Android users have, opponents quickly began blurting out the “F” word again — as if it would magically make Android’s commanding market share simply disappear.
“We like fragmentation as users prefer choice. We are not big believers that one size fits all.” – Yat Siu, CEO of Animoca’s parent company Outblaze
Animoca’s testing methods are a bit overkill and they could have saved themselves a good amount of money by simply using the emulator and some beta testers, but I have to admit, having all those devices to play with sure looks like fun.
Amazon Wireless is my favorite mobile online retailer, as they always seem to offer the best deals. They’re at it again, this time discounting the yet to be released HTC EVO 4G LTE for Sprint. Amazon Wireless has opened pre-orders for the device for $50 less than Sprint and it seems to be open to existing customers as well as new customers.
