Make no mistake about it: The Bold 9900 is the best BlackBerry smartphone to date. But even with a handsome redesign highlighted by a new capacitive touchscreen (plus all the familiar features that make a BlackBerry a Blackberry) will it be enough to close the gap between Apple or Android?

In the tech world, that’s a lifetime. I remember having serious gadget …
Fear not, T-Mobileites. Following the Wall Street Journal’s report that Sprint may get the iPhone 5 this October, a new rumor says T-Mobile’s getting the next iPhone as well.
The source of this rumor isn’t the often-solid WSJ, but MacTrast, citing “a contact within T-Mobile.” Reportedly, the T-Mobile iPhone 5 will have 3G speeds–not …
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that “people familiar with the matter” say that Sprint will be getting the iPhone 5. The article is behind the WSJ’s paywall and without having even seen it, I can assure you there are some analyst quotes in there, some backstory of how the iPhone’s done on Verizon, and how the iPhone is losing market …
For a company in peril, Research in Motion sure looks gutsy right now. RIM’s BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphone will cost $300 with a two-year T-Mobile contract—after a $50 mail-in rebate—when it launches for consumers on August 31.
The $300 price makes T-Mobile’s BlackBerry Bold 9900 the most expensive on-contract smartphone in the …
It’s goodbye T-Mobile, hello Verizon at RadioShack HQ this morning. The scrappy consumer electronics chain says it’ll sever its profit-starved relationship with T-Mobile and take up with mobile giant Verizon Wireless instead.

Not to beat my own drum, but I consider myself a pretty good son. I visit my childhood home as much as possible, I call my mother at least once a week, and I always keep my parents on top of the latest technology. Which is why when I first got my hands on the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide, hitting stores in July, my thoughts turned to my …
