In the wake of more bad publicity, Verizon tried to clarify the statements made yesterday by CFO Fran Shammo regarding the end of unlimited data for grandfathered customers. Unfortunately their updated statement simply reiterated the fact that come mid-summer, you can kiss your unlimited data goodbye. Not that it will end in mid-summer, but the moment you decide to sign another contract or purchase a phone at a subsidized rate, you will have pulled the plug on good ol’ grandpa.

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.

Google I/O is a little over a month away and as we get ready for the onslaught of rumors and ticket scalpers, Google has posted the Sessions Calendar for you to start planning your 3-day boot camp. If you’re part of the Android infantry, you’ll find plenty of drills to participate in, with 20 events already scheduled and more sure to come.

Well, it was good while it lasted… Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo pretty much dug the graves for grandfathered unlimited plans today, announcing that come mid-summer, all customers will be taken off their unlimited data life support and moved to a new data-share plan in the sky.

“Everyone will be on data share”, according to Shammo

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.
