Hasta La Gadget!

While other carriers have offered Apple’s iPad on contract in the past, T-Mobile was the exception, at least until the 1^st of November which is when Apple’s iPad Air was made available not just via Apple stores, but also via T-Mobile as well. So with reports of the iPad Air being rather popular, was it a smart decision by T-Mobile to offer the tablet and hop on board the iPad bandwagon as well? Turns out that it is, according to T-Mobile who recently claimed that they have managed to sell more iPad Air tablets during the launch of the device compared to all of Q3, which is definitely saying something!

Granted T-Mobile’s focus is not necessarily purely on tablets, it is still pretty impressive nonetheless. Unfortunately T-Mobile declined to provide any numbers regarding their sales, but we guess it’s still good to know that the tablet is doing well. AT&T has also made somewhat similar claims regarding the iPad Air, claiming that they have seen a 200% increase in iPad activations compared to last year, with the iPad Air presumably to thank for that. With the continued popularity of the iPad Air, we are definitely curious to see what sort of numbers Apple will release in the near future regarding tablets sold.

T-Mobile Claims They Sold More iPad Airs At Launch Compared To Tablets Sold In Q3 original content from Ubergizmo.

Nokia World 2013 took place on October 22nd, at the event the Finnish manufacturer announced a number of new devices, which include the much rumored Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1320 phablets. Nokia also launched its hotly anticipated tablet, the Lumia 2520, at this event. Both Lumia 1320 and 1520 are going to be exclusive to AT&T in the U.S., whereas the tablet is going to be offered by both Verizon and AT&T. Rumor has it that T-Mobile won’t offer any of the new devices that Nokia has announced.

If this rumor is true, then you might be out of luck if you wanted to pick up one of Nokia’s new devices from T-Mobile. T-Mobile hasn’t officially confirmed this as yet, so it can be said for sure if the carrier really does not intend to carry Nokia’s new devices. The company’s Lumia 521 has been performing well on Magenta, even the Lumia 925 has gained traction. No reason has surfaced as to why T-Mobile is passing on some of the most highly anticipated devices to come out of Nokia. Even if a carrier doesn’t initially carry a device, doesn’t mean that it can’t change its mind in the future. T-Mobile may very well decide to pick up the devices somewhere down the line, or it may never do so at all, we can only wait and see.

As expected, the folks over at T-Mobile do not want to be left out of the iPad Air party, and hence, they have announced that they will be rolling out the recently introduced iPad Air this November 1st. Best of all is, you will be able to pick up the iPad Air for nothing, while enjoying free data for life, now how about that?

We do know that T-Mobile has announced that they will offer iPad Air and iPad mini, both with Wi-Fi + Cellular, from November 1st onward, while the iPad mini with Retina display with Wi-Fi + Cellular will arrive later in the same month. These two tablets will be on offer starting at $0 down for those who qualify, and all T-Mobile iPad users will be on the receiving end of 200MB of free 4G LTE data every single month – as long as they own their iPad, never mind that they are still a customer outside of T-Mobile’s purview.

T-Mobile does offer daily, weekly and monthly options for those who want to enjoy 4G LTE data. T-Mobile voice customers will be able to enjoy ‘always-on’ iPad plans from $10 monthly for unlimited data, where it will boast of 500MB of 4G LTE data each month. There is also the option to add even more 4G LTE data in 2GB increments, where these will arrive in just an extra $10 per month. [Press Release]

T-Mobile iPad Air Arriving This November 1st original content from Ubergizmo.

Don’t you just love the free market and a capitalist mindset? Of course, there is no economic model that will be 100% foolproof, but it does seem that capitalism has a whole lot more advantages compared to disadvantages, and with the recently announced iPad Air as well as iPad mini with Retina display, pricing details have already begun to be announced by different carriers. We have already brought you what Sprint had to say about the situation, and it does seem that the folks over at T-Mobile do have an enticing carrot that hopes to entice the masses to sign up with them.

Just how attractive is T-Mobile’s offer? How about 200MB of free data each month if you end up as a new iPad owner? This would definitely undercut AT&T’s entry-level offering of $14.99 for the same amount of data each month, but it must be noted that AT&T does offer additional data for $30 a pop, with 3GB included. As for T-Mobile, they will throw in 2.5GB of data at a similar price point.

It would be interesting how far will customer loyalty go when it comes to getting the best bang for your hard earned buck. Out of all the mobile carriers, who would you stick with when it comes to the new iPads?

Carrier branded HTC One units in the U.S. have finally begun receiving the Android 4.3 update. Customers were dutifully updated about the roll out process by HTC Americas president Jason Mackenzie. It was he who revealed that Android 4.3 roll out for carrier branded devices would miss its previously scheduled release date at the end of last month, and it was he who broke world that Sprint HTC One owners were the first ones to receive this update. AT&T subscribers were the second in line to receive the update on their devices. Mackenzie has now revealed via Twitter that T-Mobile HTC One Android 4.3 update will finally begin rolling out on Monday, October 21st.

A few days back Mackenzie had said that T-Mobile customers should expected the update to reach them within a couple of days, but apparently the roll out hit a snag, which caused it to be pushed back to October 21st. Mackenzie replied to a query on Twitter, saying that the update has been held until Monday due to an unexpected delay. That’s not too bad though, the release has only been set back by a few days. Barring any unexpected snags, the update should begin to be rolled out to T-Mobile HTC One users tomorrow.
