The CMO of AT&T, John Stephens doesn’t sound all too optimistic about the merger between Sprint and T-Mobile going through. It seems like he’s speaking with experience here as the carrier failed to grope T-Mobile a couple of years ago and had to incur heavy amounts in fines for the cancellation of the deal. Stephens said everybody would be very surprised if the FCC and the authorities actually permit this acquisition.

Speaking at a conference recently, the CFO of T-Mobile, Braxton Carter has thrown light on the ongoing talks of the carrier being acquired by Sprint. According to him, it is most likely going to happen, but he wasn’t sure when. This comes after talks of regulatory authorities such as the FCC cried foul over the proposed merger between the third and fourth largest carrier in the U.S.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 on T-Mobile is now getting the Android 4.4 update, much to the joy of the users. The update is available as an OTA and will require devices to be running Android 4.3 (software version M919UVUEMK2) to be eligible. The update can also be flashed through Samsung Kies software on your computer, but the OTA is preferred for its convenience.

The T-Mobile team was quite excited a few days ago when it announced the surpassing of 100,000 pre registrations for the Samsung Galaxy S5, just two days after its announcement. And today, the carrier has announced the crossing of over 300,000 pre registrations in about 10 days since the device was officially announced.

A couple of days ago, Samsung released the Android 4.4 kernel source for the T-Mobile Note 3 which indicated that the update should not be far away. Less than two days later, the ‘uncarrier’ has started rolling out the update for the latest and greatest flagship from Samsung.
