Rumor: T-Mobile Lusting To Buy Sprint

T-Mobile may be smallish in the US, but it's owned by German giant Deutsche Telekom, a company plenty powerful enough to buy up Sprint if it wanted to...and the rumor mill says it may want to. The Inquirer points out the obvious network issues that might arise. After all, what do you get when you cross a GSM network barely on HSDPA but harboring LTE aspirations with a CDMA/EV-DO franchise who's experimenting with WiMax while lugging a legacy iDEN network around for God-knows-what-reason? [Inquirer]
BTW, if you had trouble digesting that last sentence, please visit our handy Giz Explains post on mobile-network acronyms.

Motorola Shows Off Cheap Sexy Still-Unannounced i335 for Nextel

The i335 is a thin candybar with a rubber keypad that feels like leather and a funky corrugated plastic back. It's been rumored here and there, and should not be confused with an older Moto with the same name. Regardless, Motorola and its partner in iDEN crime Sprint (as in Nextel) have yet to say anything more than that it'll be out for holidays and it will be "affordable." Yeah, it's missing a camera, a big LCD and any kind of bandwidth. But it's better looking than the other Nextel phones, and its price, still unannounced, is supposedly rock bottom.

Motorola i290 Expected to be Heading for Sprint


Those chaps at the Phone Arena have put their money on Motorola's i290 phone becoming the first slimline iDEN model for the Sprint network. Although its screen is a bit on the titchy side, the i290 packs enough features to be useful and will fit in your pocket without you making you look like Spinal Tap's Derek Smalls at airport security.

New iDen's Identified


Motorola is preparing some new launches for its less glamourous line of iDen phones. They don't get names like RAZR or The Pebble, but these mobiles are always hearty and well-made for those of you who may actually use them for more than a fashion statement. The FCC has filed some details and what we know of now is three phones: the i870, the i450 and the i415. Two of the new phones use BOOST mobile for walkit talkie service and the flagship i870 has a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash, bluetooth, MP3 player with external controls, WiDEN high speed data and a push-to-open hinge.
