Skype and Verizon Wireless are embracing one another and taking a step into the future together. Skype and Verizon Wireless just announced that they'll be partnering up to deliver a full Skype experience for Android devices (and Blackberry) on Verizon Wireless. Here's what you'll be able to do with Skype on Verizon Wireless:

Boy, we've come a pretty long way from giving you guys basic updates on what cities are getting T-Mobile 3G, haven't we? For 2010, T-Mobile is stepping up and announcing that it will soon be delivering HSPA+ to cities in the East & West Cost. Meaning 21 Mbps this year is going to be last years 7.2 Mbps. GigaOM sat down with T-Mobile...

By now everyone should have seen the Google Nexus One update (called 2.1-update1) pushed out to their phones. (If not, you can always update manually.) Aside from pinch-to-zoom being turned on in a handful of apps, the update contained a fix for the apparent problems the phone was having keeping a 3G connection on T-Mobile.

However, our pals at JKOnTheRun

If you're in the market for a myTouch 3G, our advice would be to wait until the myTouch 3G 1.2 becomes official and then decide which one to buy. Even though T-Mobile is going to drop the price of the original myTouch 3G to $99.99 on February 10th, the myTouch 3G 1.2 might be a better option in the long run.

The

Seriously, AT&T, it's time to give it a rest. You're getting as bad as Apple with these "facts." Woman looks at a Motorola Droid and says, "What is this?" Why, it's the Motorola Droid. It's what's propelling Android's numbers month after month. "Where are all my apps?"...

Help may be on the way for those of you with the Google Nexus One who have been experiencing 3G issues on T-Mobile. Google says a software fix is in the works, though obviously it won't help much if you're on the edge of T-Mo's fledgling 3G service or outside of coverage altogether. Says Google:

Our engineers have...

The Google Nexus One (hands-on | video review | news | FAQ) was...

We're still waiting on a fix for the problem the Nexus One is having staying connected to 3G (and we don't really care who fixes it -- Google, HTC, T-Mobile or whomever). In the meantime, there's a workaround that will force your phone to only connect with 3G.

So join us after the break if that's the sort of...

OK, you wanted to know what T-Mobile's doing about 3G problems with the Nexus One. Here's the ugly truth. Above are some of the bullet points customer-service types are being given, at least as of Jan. 9.

Pretty basic troubleshooting steps here, such as making sure you're actually in a 3G-covered area...

It seems as if the Google Nexus One is having some difficulty staying connected to T-Mobile's 3G band. A countless number of new Nexus One owners are flooding Google's support forums complaining that their new device bounces back and forth from Edge to 3G on a consistant basis where their old 3G device did not show the same behavior. We've looked into this a bit further and found that

Just in time for the expected launch of a little phone from Google, T-Mobile today announced that it has upgraded its entire 3G network to full HSPA speeds. That's 7.2Mbps, for those of you playing at home. T-Mo also said it's testing HSPA+ (that's 21Mbps) in Philadelphia and hopes to have it up and running by the middle of 2010 elsewhere. [via

Though we love T-Mobile around these parts, we have to admit that their funky 3G band (1700 MHz) makes it rather unfriendly for unlockers. You have to be careful about which device you're getting, for use on what network because 3G may not work. Sure, most people don't run into the problem but as it stands now, if you have a T-Mobile 3G capable device, it won't work on AT&T 3G and if you have an AT&T 3G device, it won't work with T-Mobile 3G. Motorola is looking to...

As always, we keep our eyes and ears close to the ground to stay updated with the latest cities to receive T-Mobile 3G. Considering that T-Mobile is seriously lagging behind in their 3G network (when compared to Sprint and Verizon) and that the other networks are offering amazing Android devices to boot, it's safe to assume that T-Mobile is doing everything in their power to get their 3G network on par with its competitors. Here's the latest:

Since Android is now on Sprint and Verizon and both networks have expansive 3G networks, the rather adolescent 3G coverage on T-Mobile becomes even more magnified. Luckily, like they have been doing, T-Mobile is tirelessly working on rolling out and expanding their 3G network to cover more Magenta users. Here's the latest:

Considering we've never even heard of these cities (apologies to said...

The guys at Androidandme have gotten reports that show that T-Mobile is rolling out their 7.2 Mbps HSPA network in Chicago, IL and New York, NY. Currently, T-Mobile's 3G Network is limited to 1.8 Mbps, so the jump to 7.2 Mbps would be huge for the fourth place carrier. There hasn't been an official rollout planned, and if it's going to be like T-...

If winning the Super Bowl and the Stanley Cup in the same calendar year isn't enough for you Pittsburgh folks, maybe T-Mobile 3G will be! After not making the cut in our previous T-Mobile 3G rollout update, Pittsburgh is now covered in the all around speediness of T-Mobile's third generation network. Enjoy responsibly.

And Pittsburghians (Pittsburghers?) be sure to let us know how the T-Mobile 3G is working out for you! And for the rest of the cities...

The T-Mobile 3G Rollout continues and we've got the latest news for you guys. These past few rollouts covered a lot of territory so make sure you check up to see if your city now rocks T-Mobile 3G! And the list goes:

If you've been keeping track of the T-Mobile 3G rollout like we know you have, you'll be happy to know that it's steadily moving along. The latest cities to receive T-Mobile 3G are Honolulu, Hawaii and Salt Lake City, Utah. So whether you're enjoying the last remnants of summer in Waikiki or anticipating the impending snow season in Salt Lake City, you'll be able to experience the game changing feature that is 3G.

But the news gets even better for...

Don't worry T-Mobile users, there will be a day when your 3G Network will be the best network in the country. Yep, even though your current 3G network is in its infantile stages, T-Mobile promises that their 3G network will eventually reach 21Mbps (other 3G networks are currently trapped under the 7.2Mbps limit). The one problem? Every other carrier will have moved to 4G already. Eek.

In the short-term, you really have nothing to worry about. 3G...

The T-Mobile 3G Rollout has been slowly inching its way across the United States, slowly making its way toward respectability. We're happy to report that many cities have received T-Mobile 3G since our last Rollout Report and they're as follows:

We're positive that a lot of big cities are still without T-Mobile 3G and we definitely empathize with you guys--3G is such...

The T-Mobile myTouch 3G just launched yesterday and when a flagship product like that gets released with '3G' in its name, you better have your 3G coverage right. So it's onward with the T-Mobile 3G rollout and this latest update is pretty impressive. Buffalo, Syracuse, and Rochester, New York are all enjoying the benefits of T-Mobile 3G along with Bakersfield, Santa Clarita, and Simi Valley, California.

There's still plenty of cities left, so...

We've received reports that the lovely city of Wichita, Kansas has received the beautiful benefits of T-Mobile 3G. Though the T-Mobile 3G launch isn't quite official there yet, we're hearing that users can definitely enjoy the perks and speediness of 3G.

Tmonews is also reporting that Tacoma, Washington is also getting T-Mobile 3G, so any users in that area should now enjoy 3G as well. That knocks off two cities from T-mobile 3G's rollout plan. In the meantime, there are...

We love keeping track of T-Mobile's 3G Rollout for you guys because we sincerely believe that having 3G immensely enhances the user experience. And though we would much rather have T-Mobile roll it out in every big city already, that's just not feasible. So we'll tough it out together. T-Mobile 3G is going to come to everyone (eventually!).

According to the latest leaked report, citizens of New Orleans, Milwaukee, Indianapolis,...

The T-Mobile myTouch 3G isn't exactly new around these parts--we've seen the myTouch 3G as the HTC Magic many moons ago. But as much as you know about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, it doesn't hurt to learn more. We've got our hands on the leaked Getting Started Guide for the myTouch 3G and though it details much of what we've already known about Android, it'll be incredibly helpful for those who are jumping to Android for the first time. If anything, it's a...

Citizens of Cleveland, Ohio, not only do you get to watch LeBron James play basketball but you'll now be able to run blazing fast T-Mobile 3G on your T-Mobile 3G-capable device! We've received report that T-Mobile 3G has been up and running in Cleveland for a couple days now and we know our Cleveland readers are taking full advantage of the amazing speeds.

It's been quite some time since our last T-Mobile 3G Rollout update so perhaps this will...

It seems like everyday we're updating you guys on the latest T-Mobile 3G cities and that's because, well, everyday a new city gets T-Mobile 3G! The latest cities to receive the 3G love are Springfield, Cape Cod, and Newbedford, Massachusetts. As you can see, T-Mobile is really taking its time with this 3G rollout and hopefully it'll all trickle out in the end. We know it's worth it.

To keep you guys updated on the T-Mobile 3G Rollout, it looks like citizens of Corpus Christi, Texas and Portland, Maine will now both be able to enjoy the speed of 3G. We can tell you that once you go 3G, you'll never look back. Hopefully, T-Mobile continues rolling out and expanding their burgeoning 3G network because the G1 and myTouch 3G are both more enjoyable with a fast data connection.

[via

Slowly but surely, the T-Mobile 3G Rollout continues. Tucson, Arizona and Daytona Beach, Florida have reportedly received T-Mobile 3G and it sure is fast, ain't it?

There's still a ton of big cities left that are without T-Mobile 3G (as our commenters have so kindly let us know) but we think T-Mobile will eventually get this map covered. Well, we'll cross our fingers. Hopefully your...

We don't know much about Columbus, Ohio but we know that they've recently been receiving the speed of T-Mobile 3G (via Tmonews). We certainly expected that a city of Columbus, Ohio's magnitude (it is the biggest city in Ohio, right?) to receive T-Mobile 3G much earlier, but we guess we were wrong.

What's the biggest city left that doesn't have T-Mobile...

We know those who have it, love their T-Mobile 3G and those who don't have it, just can't wait. So without further ado, here are more T-Mobile 3G cities for you guys to either celebrate in or be extremely jealous of:

Additionally, T-Mobile's 3G Network has been expanded and broadened in Denver, Colorado and the Austin/San Antonio Market. Hopefully...

T-Mobile is still rolling out their 3G network in hopes of reaching respectability, this time cities in Texas such as College Station, Beaumont, Bryant , and Galveston are all enjoying the speediness that is 3G. For you Floridians living in Lakeland, Sarasota, Spring Hill, Bradenton, and Weeki Wachee--well you guys have T-Mobile 3G too!

I'm not familiar with a large portion of these cities so it looks like T-Mobile is hitting the smaller cities now with...

More T-Mobile 3G cities have been leaked (via TmoNews) and the list of upcoming T-Mobile 3G cities for Q2, Q3 and Q4 of this year is quite expansive--easily over a 100 cities are prepping for T-Mobile 3G.

Hit the jump to see the full list of planned T-Mobile 3G cities! Is your city among the lucky bunch? Let us know!

The T-Mobile 3G rollout continues! The month of May has T-Mobile 3G coming to four cities. Rockford and Springfield, Illinois should already be enjoying the speed of 3G while Henderson, Nevada and Wichita Falls, Texas just needs to wait a couple days in order to experience the fast data speeds of 3G!

Like we said, slowly but surely T-Mobile is covering the nation in 3G. Hopefully, it's not so slow that 4G will already be prevalent by the time T-Mobile...

Look, we know that you can't really confirm that an Archos Android MID is going to be released on June 11th but since we've already heard reports of such device, it takes far less of a leap to believe that the Android MID by Archos is forthcoming.

Plus, the shade of green on the invitation should might as well be called

We tried to connect the dots before but it looks like the stars are aligning for the Samsung I7500, Samsung's first Android device, to be released to T-Mobile USA. What makes us believe that? Well, the Samsung I7500 just cleared the FCC (...

Hmm. Reports are speculating that the device we know as the HTC Magic and speculated as the T-Mobile G2 will actually be released as the MyTouch 3G. An odd choice of name, to be sure, but not one without reason: the HTC Magic is a strictly 'touch' device and to differentiate...

TmoNews got their hands on the jackpot, a purported list of T-Mobile 3G locations for 2009. We've documented T-Mobile's 3G rollout in the past but this list shows the roadmap of the future. Soon, T-Mobile 3G will blanket the country (just in time for 4G, d'oh!).

Taking a quick glance at the list we can see a lot of Texas and Arizona cities will be getting the good 'ol 3G. Are any of your guys' city still missing? Let us know in the comments!

It's no secret that T-Mobile has the weakest 3G Coverage nationwide. You can fault them for arriving late to the 3G party but you can't deny their effort since rolling out T-Mobile 3G Networks across the country. Now for the year 2009, T-Mobile has lofty goals--to cover 200 million Americans with its 3G network by the end of 2009. They made the promise to cover over 100 million in 2008, if more Android devices release (as hoped), T-Mobile is going to need every...

After a fairly quiet 3G rollout from T-Mobile, they're getting things kicked off again with a planned 3G rollout for Kansas City! We know the Chiefs have been struggling so what else to ease the pain of a bad football team than to surf the internet on your smartphone via blazing fast 3G networks?

As always, we'll keep you posted when more cities get T-Mobile 3G!

[TmoNews]

Birmingham, Alabama is a city Android Central knows very little about (other than Charles Barkley being born in nearby Leeds) but it is apparently lucky enough to receive some speedy fast T-Mobile 3G. Which means you Birmingham citizens can rock your T-Mobile G1 to its full potential! Like we said, slowly but surely T-Mobile will get a respectable 3G Coverage map..

[TmoNews]

TmoNews brings us the news that our nation's capital city and future home of the next President of the United States of America, Washington D.C., will now offer T-Mobile 3G. This is great news for anyone in DC, political or not. And now everyone can appreciate the full power of the T-Mobile G1.

Slowly but surely T-Mobile will catch up in the 3G world, let's see how fast they can go yeah?

[TmoNews]

TmoNews has got the news that T-Mobile has gifted Detroit with 3G! Slowly but surely the boys in Magenta will cover the entire nation (hopefully, before 4G/LTE/WiMax/or whatever is next is done) with 3G networks!

Neil Gaiman is a best-selling author; a top writer in the comic realm, a wordsmith of poetry, journalism, film, song lyrics, and drama; but NOT an owner of a shiny G1 Android phone from T-Mobile.

With word that the T-Mobile G1 is going to be available to our friends across the pond at the end of this month, we at Android Central are beginning to wonder if it'll be the same device in the UK as it is stateside.

That map looks sparse doesn't it? Sad to say but that is T-Mobile's Coverage Map which includes 3G, EDGE, GPRS and a whole lotta 'No Coverage'. To see if you have T-Mobile 3G available in your area head on over to T-Mobile's Coverage Map.

According to the maps, where I live (LA Area) is filled with 3G coverage. Score!
