Well, that “trial” didn’t last long at all, now did it? Just days after teeing up a $50 unlimited voice plan in the great city of San Francisco, T-Mobile USA has reportedly taken said plan nationwide. Users are already buzzing about the widespread availability, though it should be noted that the same “loyalty requirements” from the San Fran pilot are still in effect for the rest of the nation. In other words, you have to have been a T-Mob subscriber for at least 22 months and have been in good standing the whole time. Oh, and being cute probably helps.

T-Mobile USA goes live with $50 unlimited voice plans in San Francisco

Posted in: t-mobile, t-mobile usa, T-mobileUsa, Today's Chili

We heard that T-Mobile USA was looking to dabble in the low-end arena with $50 unlimited voice plans, and sure enough, the carrier has gone live with ’em in the City by the Bay. In a surprise move aimed to rival similar plans from lesser known providers such as Boost Mobile, T-Mob is offering “loyal customers” the option to move to a $50 flat-rate calling plan. In order to get the offer, you must be located in San Francisco (for now, anyway), have been a subscriber in good standing for at least 22 months and want to save a few bucks on your mobile calling. It’s stated that stores in the SF area are actively promoting the new plan, which should be fairly successful given that users won’t have to extend their current contracts in order to switch. Toss in unlimited texting, data and Everlasting Gobstoppers, and we’re sold.

Video: Samsung Memoir hands-on

Posted in: breaking news, BreakingNews, hands-on, mwc, mwc 2009, mwc09, mwc2009, samsung, smartphone, t-mobile, t-mobile usa, T-mobileUsa, Today's Chili, video

Samsung’s long-awaited Memoir has already had its 8 megapixel shooter shown up by Sony Ericsson’s 12 megapixel Idou, though the former has one huge leg-up over the latter: the Memoir is shipping to T-Mobile USA in ten days, while the Idou doesn’t even have an official name yet. We were able to stop by and see this spectacle live and in-person at Mobile World Congress, and we’ve got the images and video to prove it. Feel free to peruse the media at your leisure, we’re open late tonight.

Samsung Memoir hitting T-Mobile USA on February 25 for $249.99

At this point, it’s tough to say the Memoir wasn’t official with a straight face, but Samsung and T-Mobile have jointly disclosed all (er, most) of the remaining details that were so sorely missing here at Mobile World Congress. The 8 megapixel handset will boast a Xenon flash, CMOS auto focus and 16x digital zoom, not to mention a full touchscreen and a sophisticated camera menu that enables users to adjust the brightness and flash, change the default destination of images, select a timer and zoom in or out. Moreover, the video recording and TV-out features should provide even more joy in the lives of multimedia lovers, and the blink detection, face detection, anti-shake and geotagging inclusions should shake off any remaining pundits who say there’s not a “real camera” in here. As anticipated, the phone will launch exclusively on T-Mobile USA in just ten days (February 25, if you’re too excited for math), though there’s still no mention of a price. Procrastinate much?

Update: Boom, pricing — $249.99 on a two-year contract with a $50 mail-in rebate. Not the cheapest thing we’ve ever seen, but you get what you pay for, yeah?
