If you recall, T-Mobile has recently stopped selling Motorola's Sidekick Slide smartphones because of their battery problems.

Now Motorola claims it has fixed all the issues and will implement the solution in new and existing devices.

So we can expect Sidekick Slide to appear on the market again next week.

On November 14, T-Mobile has notified around 600 of its customers who roam too much that they will be disconnected from the service if they don't change their voice plan to T-Mobile To Go.

And this move is reasonable: there is no point in keeping subscribers who spend too much time outside the carrier’s coverage area.

T-Mobile's Sidekick Slide is now off sale until Motorola fixes a defect in the handset.

The carrier has recently received a number of complains from customers whose phones turn off when the screen is slid open or closed. All Slide owners who have the same problem should contact customer support to return the device into a T-Mobile store.

FCC has unveiled some info about the new BlackBerry 8120.

The device is a GSM/EDGE version of the 8130 model, and has almost the same features as the previous including GPS, 3.5mm headset jack, stereo Bluetooth, external microSD slot, and updated mail client.

In addition, the 8120 also comes with 802.

The new Sidekick Slide smartphone is now available from T-Mobile and replaced the Sidekick LX.

The device doesn't differ much from its predecessor with technical characteristics, but it has a nice streamline design and a low price tag of only $199 after a 2-year agreement.

As you probably know, the famous iPhone has reached the European continent and will soon be available in Germany from T-Mobile.

The launch date is scheduled on November 9. The 8GB model will cost you 399 Euros ($575) with a 2-year service agreement + 25 Euros ($36) for the activation. Monthly plans are similar to those in the States and will start at 49 Euros ($71) per month.

Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile USA are in talks with Google to use its upcoming OS in their future handsets.

The search giant's mobile platform will be inexpensive and easily customizable, so carriers will be able to adapt it to their requirements.

According to Wall Street Journal, Google will announce its new operation system in mid-November and the first handsets to feature it will be available in sometime in 2008.

T-Mobile has just introduced its latest Windows Mobile 6 based smartphone, called the Shadow.

The device is manufactured by HTC and comes with a SureType keypad, easy to use UI, and a D-pad, also useable as a scroll wheel for navigation through the menus. Some of the features include quad-band GSM/EDGE support, stereo Bluetooth, 2Mpix camera, microSD slot, and Wi-Fi connectivity.

T-Mobile offers unlimited MMS as part of its Sidekick Unlimited plan.

For just $19.99 a month T-Mobile subscribers, owners of the new MMS-capable Sidekick Slide or Sidekick LX, will be able to send as many MMS messages as they want. All new customers to buy LX or Slide will be automatically placed on the unlimited Sidekick plan.

T-Mobile started offering the Motorola RAZR2 V8.

This quad-band GSM/EDGE clamshell phone operates on Motorola's Linux-Java OS and comes with stereo Bluetooth, touch-sensitive controls, 2Mpix camera, and 2GB of on-board memory (no microSD slot).

The price is $250 with 2-year contract.
