T-Mobile Launching Dash 3G Smartphone in July

T-Mobile has announced it will be launching its the Dash 3G smartphone beginning in July, following up on the company’s popular Dash offering. The Dash 3G—built by HTC and otherwise known as the HTC Snap—sports a full QWERTY keyboard with trackball, sports Wi-Fi and mobile 3G connectivity, offers an integrated GPS, and runs Windows Mobile 6.1 so users can tie in to Outlook, Exchange, and all sort of other enterprise goodies from the Microsoft universe.

“T-Mobile is offering our first 3G-enabled Windows Mobile smartphone to help customers stay connected, organized, and traveling in the right direction,” said T-Mobile’s director of product marketing Travis Warren, in a statement. “We’re excited to offer the power and style of the T-Mobile Dash 3G with high-speed Internet access thanks to T-Mobile’s rapidly expanding 3G network.”

Although T-Mobile is touting the pending availability of the Dash 3G, it has yet to release pricing or service details: we assume T-Mobile will be looping the Dash with T-Mobile services offerings like myFaves, but no details are available.

T-Mobile, the fourth-largest U.S. mobile carrier, claims that its network now offers 3G service to more than 200 million people by the end of the year, up from 100 million or so at the end of 2008.

I can’t get over how insane this $40,000 Web3 smartphone is

The Metavertu smartphone.

Talk about bad timing. The economy is shaky and food prices are skyrocketing — but luxury phone maker Vertu has decided this is the right moment to release a new lineup of smartphones that top out at around $40,000.

Some might question Vertu’s decision to start selling phones that are so expensive. After all, it’s not a good look to flog a phone that’s pricier than many Americans’ annual income when many people can’t afford a home. But Vertu seems confident in its phones’ abilities because it’s tied into Web 3.0, a buzzy but nebulous concept involving ideas such as decentralization and blockchain technologies.

It’s late 2022, and Verizon and AT&T still can’t beat T-Mobile’s 5G network

It’s been 10 months since Verizon and AT&T flipped the switch on their new C-band 5G spectrum, but it appears both carriers still have their work cut out for them if they want to catch up to T-Mobile.

Market analyses and independent tests have agreed for years that T-Mobile is the fastest and most reliable 5G carrier in the U.S. That’s not surprising as it had a massive advantage by holding licenses for the crucial midrange spectrum that provides the best balance between range and speed. While Verizon’s early high-frequency mmWave rollouts allowed it to boast raw speeds that were significantly faster, those were confined to about 1% of its subscriber base.

How to watch the OnePlus 10T launch event on August 3

Render of the OnePlus 10T resting in sand covered in shadows. Text reads: "OnePlus 10T 5G. Product Launch | New York, Evolve Beyond Speed. August 3| 10:00 a.m. EDT | 3:00 P.m. BST | 7:30 p.m. IST."

OnePlus is breathing new life into its more affordable T series smartphone lineup this week with the new OnePlus 10T, scheduled to officially launch on August 3 with a big event in New York that will unveil the much-rumored handset. It should also confirm many of the specs we've heard about for a while already.

However, despite all the rumors, there are still aspects of the new phone that are shrouded in mystery. As such, OnePlus almost certainly has a surprise or two up its sleeve for Wednesday's event, which will also include the unveiling of OxygenOS 13 -- a significant update that many OnePlus fans are hoping will clean up the mess that is OxygenOS 12. It remains to be seen whether that will happen, but it should add even more anticipation for Wednesday's launch event.
