Well, it looks like T-Mobile has some good news and some bad news for customers using its 5GB webConnect data plan. The good news is that the carrier will no longer be charging its $0.20 per megabyte overage fee for any data used beyond the 5GB limit, thereby effectively making the 5GB plan an unlimited plan. The bad news is that in place of an overage charge, it will be implementing bandwidth throttling on any data used on top of the standard 5GB, although it’s not saying exactly how much it will slow things down. Customers using T-Mobile’s basic 200MB monthly plan aren’t left out of the changes either — while they won’t see any bandwidth throttling, they will see their overage charges cut in half from $0.20 to $0.10 per megabyte. Both changes are apparently effective immediately. T-Mobile drops some overage charges in favor of bandwidth throttling originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 28 Apr 2010 21:07:00 EST.

April 30th, 2010 admin Droid , Milestone , Eris , Moment , Spica , even the Hero , all have had their Eclair, one way or another. G1 and myTouch 3G? Not so much. But don’t worry, Android early adopters, because Cyanogen ‘s got your back. Most all the bells, whistles and hardware-accelerated graphics of Android 2.1 are coming to the HTC Dream, Magic and Sapphire in CyanogenMod 5.0.7, and you can see a video of a T-Mobile G1 running the new build after the break. Twitter buzz indicates the ROM will be out any minute now is nearly ready; the dev himself tweeted that it’s good to go and just needs G1-friendly bite size packaging. Update: Don’t stay up all night waiting — Cyanogen says he’s got “two more bugs to kill” and is “hoping for a test1 public beta tomorrow night.” [Thanks, Philosophics] Continue reading Cyanogen ports Android 2.1 to G1 and MyTouch 3G (update) Cyanogen ports Android 2.1 to G1 and MyTouch 3G (update) originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 29 Apr 2010 00:10:00 EST.

April 30th, 2010 admin Alright, well played, AT&T: you’ve sort of managed to undo Apple’s unfortunate move of eschewing nearly two decades’ worth of deeply-entrenched SIM card standards in favor of a new one that literally nobody in the consumer cellphone world is using — and for that, we thank you. We’re being told that these new SIMs are now being sold in AT&T stores for $15 and will work both with the iPad 3G and… well, literally every other GSM device you’ve ever owned, thanks to a couple of well-placed perforations that can turn the standard SIM into a micro SIM . This is presumably a preemptive strike to support the next-gen iPhone , too, but otherwise, you can go ahead and use the big card without busting out the little one. Trust us. Update: Our tipster wrote back in to say that they’re actually not being sold in stores yet, so if you’ve formed a line outside your local brick-and-mortar, go ahead and turn in for the evening.

April 30th, 2010 jedwan After a brief delay , looks like CyanogenMod 5 is now out for the HTC Dream, Magic and Sapphire, also known as the T-Mobile G1 and myTouch 3G. The release is labeled as experimental, so take care not to flash it onto your work phone , and G1 owners should back up their data as they’ll need to install a little something called the DangerSPL (which has phone bricking potential) and perform a full wipe. If you’re the kind of individual who doesn’t shy away from software explicitly labeled “danger,” get cracking on that rooted Eclair at the source link. Update: Can’t get through? That’s because the sheer willpower of Android early adopters is crushing websites hosting the CM5 ROM like so many stale pretzels. Cyanogen is retweeting alternative options if you simply can’t wait for things to quiet down.
