Almost every flagship has a smaller sidekick these days, and it seems the new HTC One M8 will be no different. While HTC is yet to confirm the rumored One M8 mini, one European carrier is already anticipating its arrival.

Starting today, T-Mobile customers can register their interest in the world’s first curved self-healing smartphone, the LG G Flex, which will be available to purchase from the operators online store or in any of its bricks-and-mortar stores nationwide in the not-too-distant future. By pre-registering users will automatically receive an email notification the second the official pre-order page goes live, so they are effectively guaranteeing themselves a place in the queue to order this revolutionary handset.

Earlier today, T-Mobile announced that it’s in the throes of expanding its LTE connectivity service to include a further 14 new markets. The announcement was made in a single press release on the carrier’s website and the operator didn’t hesitate to take the opportunity to mention that its service now provides “super fast” data speeds to over 200 million people in the United States.

AT&T has again broadened its horizons by expanding its 4G network coverage across Texas and launching the availability of its “super fast” LTE signal to Stephenville, TX as part of its three-year Project Velocity IP (VIP) investment plan, which is aimed at improving and enhancing both broadband and 4G network access across the whole of the United States.

Cricket Wireless has today started pushing out the much-anticipated Android 4.3 Jelly Bean over-the-air update to all of its locked carrier-branded Samsung Galaxy S III handsets located in the United States. In addition to the upgraded build of the open source operating system, this update also brings a truckload of bug fixes, stability improvements, speed optimizations, as well as support for Samsung KNOX, Sound & Shoot and the Galaxy Gear.
