UT Starcom (Audiovox) says to mobile division: to hell with you!

Well, basically.  UT Starcom is selling off its mobile counterpart to a group of private investors. Probably the most important peice of information is that UT Starcom phones will still be continue to be made, though under a different name and obviously ownership. So dont worry if your a cricket or virgin mobile fanboy – you still got plenty more to come!

Regarding the T-Mobile OTA; too many confused people.

There are so many stupid people out there, no offense if you’re one of them.  Lets just clarify some facts -

  1. Yes, everyone who owns a sidekick LX will recieve the update.  Its already started rolling out, and it is sent to all phones in random order, so there’s no way to tell exactly when you’re going to receive it.
  2. There is currently no information on when or if sidekick slide users will receive any type of OTA.  My guess is that it’s not possible for video or anything else with the hardware, but the other OS updates should still be capable, though as of now I have found no information on if that’s ever even gonna happen.

Palm now offering Centro for $299 unlocked

Okay, maybe this isn’t the news of the year. And im guessing that probably alot of people out there are really not gonna care, but I cant fucking wait to get this phone, and I was going to buy it off ebay or something, but this is much cheaper and much more reliable.  Unfortunately it only comes in one ugly color, but I guess I’ll just have to deal. Click here to buy. :)

Helio to shut its doors?! Rumor has it.

Well folk, the rumor of the day is that Helio is done. over. Hard to believe that they might suffer the same fate as unfortunate competitor, Amp’d Mobile.

Sources are saying that Virgin Mobile has been talking about taking over, though that isn’t positive yet. Though the companies have been in talks for a while now.

And in case you didnt know, things have been going horrible for helio recently…[more after break]

Verizon begins offering My Circle after purchase of Alltel

I think we all saw this coming, after all, Verizon wouldn’t just push away all the greatness of alltel into a dust-laden corner. I had a feeling Verizon would do something like this.

Well okay, maybe they didn’t exactly come right out and offer My Circle, but it’s a baby step.  On Verizon business plans, you can call your 5 favorite numbers for only an additional $4.99/mo.  Sounds pretty snazzy to me, and alot more simpler than T-Mo’s MyFaves.

Wondering when it will be offered to all Verizon customers? So do I.

mobilegion

Welcome, welcome all. I’ve always been very keen with the mobile markets, always paying attention to what’s going on. Blogging is always something that seemed cool to me, but I never knew anything to blog about. My life? Pfft, who cares about that. I barely even care about that. I’ve always been told that I’m good at writing, but then again I’m really sexy so it doesn’t matter anyway. Peace out girl scouts.

I really hope this will be a success.  Unlike everything else I do. Right now im probably gonna add my two cents about a couple of things that have just recently happened, and after that stay on top of what’s to come.
