Nokia 8208 Two-way Slider Phone Looks Like N-Series, But Isn't Quite One
Inadvertently posted to the Nokia site, the 8208 not only looks similar to the n96, the first non N-Series phone to feature a two-way slider. Part of Nokia's music phone push, the phone features the 0-9 keys below the screen, and music player controls above the screen. In addition, the CDMA phone has a 3 Megapixel camera and EVDO Rev.A. No word on release date or price. [Electronista]

The Fine(ish) Print on Sprint's 5GB Data Cap
Yes, the upcoming 5GB cap on Sprint's data plan is twue. While heartbreaking, it's not all doom and gloom—according to these details from Cnet, at least Sprint won't be a total dick about it. Besides having an easy way to monitor your slurpage at Sprint.com, "going over once in a while is OK" and they'll be checking usage "using a rolling, three-month basis." But, if you go over two consecutive months, your ass may get terminated. They're still looking at options for people who need more data (like us), which hopefully they'll bring out soon. [Crave]

Oh No: Sprint Capping "Unlimited" 3G Data Service at 5GB
We've raved on Sprint's EV-DO data service more than once, in no small part because they were the only carrier to have truly unlimited 3G data, while AT&T and Verizon capped their service at 5GB. Our love affair just might be over. According to a leaked update of their terms of service, effective July 31st, they'll be enacting a 5GB cap as well. More »

sprint's $100 million mistake
Sprint Spending $100 Million to Kick iPhone in the Nuts (iPhone Wearing Cup)
Starting May 9th, Sprint will begin a massive, $100 million marketing campaign aimed straight at the iPhone's nether regions. Stacking its 3G Instinct against the iPhone, Sprint hopes to show that EVDO and GPS make their product way better than anything coming out of Cupertino. The problem isn't that the Instinct is necessarily a bad phone, or that Sprint is a worse service than AT&T. It's that Sprint's series of commercials will cost the company $100 million to promote a message that will most probably be a moot point in one month if/when Apple announces their 3G iPhone. Here's their second commercial: More »

Hacked MacBook Air With Built-In 3G Wireless
This is what every MacBook Air needs: built-in 3G wireless. In order to get this goodness into the MBA, Jordan Bunnell busted up a Verizon USB727 Air Card and soldered it up with the MBA's unused USB controllers on the motherboard and used a little bit of voodoo to get power flowing to the card. There's a little bit more elbow grease to get the antenna ports situated and the card crammed in there nice and properly, but as you can see, it pays off. Check out the whole nerdy process in detail over at his site, though our heart's a little too faint to attempt the feat. [Get Listed Locally via engadget]

Unlimited Voice and Data Plans Forcing Carriers to Make Networks Better, Faster, Stronger
Carriers are finding out that a side effect of offering unlimited voice and data plans is that people tend to use them more. Great, right? Not if their backend can't handle the new flood of traffic. One of Sprint's VPs told a panel at CTIA that "the increase in unlimited data and voice plans exponentially increases the backhaul requirements of 2G and 3G networks" so they're being forced to upgrade their network with higher speed pipes, like fiber. (AT&T already had its 3G wake-up call.) This is good for us, because it means faster, more reliable data services. More »

HTC Shift Vista UMPC Coming in EV-DO Flavor
It's only been a couple weeks since the Windows Vista-capable HTC Shift UMPC was just released in the US and it's already getting an EV-DO version for you to hook up to Verizon or Sprint (theoretically). LaptopMag's review of it mirrors what we've seen in European reviews of the device (it's been out there for a few months): it's got a cramped keyboard, slightly slow CPU, short battery life and weak Wi-Fi. It probably won't replace your normal laptop if you're traveling, but if you're packing light, it makes for a workable alternative. [Amazon via LaptopMag]
