For those of you who don't care about a certain phone from a certain fruit-flavored company, you might be interested to know that T-Mobile announced on Wednesday the upcoming availability of its latest smartphone, the T-Mobile Dash 3G.

The Dash 3G is T-Mobile's take on the HTC Snap, which debuted at CTIA 2009. The carrier expects the smartphone to ship nationwide in July, though it did not release a specific date or pricing at this time. Sprint also announced that it will offer the HTC Snap on June 21 for $149.99 with a two-year contract, so we assume T-Mobile's pricing will be similar.

While behind Sprint, we're just happy to see a replacement for the old T-Mobile Dash. As the name suggests, the handset supports T-Mobile's 3G network and also includes GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. The T-Mobile Dash 3G will run Windows Mobile 6.1 and also offers a full QWERTY keyboard and support for personal and corporate e-mail.

In addition to the Dash 3G, T-Mobile also said that it will reveal more details about its news Google Android device next week. Perhaps, we'll see the official unveiling of the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G?

The following product mentioned is available.

If no data caps tethering, them maybe OK. Data caps = censorship. Mobile is a waist in U.S.A. Data capacity not speed is the topic of discussion NOW.

Notice how right off the bat they sneakily advertise the iphone. It's the very first sentence, the dialogue is slanted, because it suggests "for those odd ones who even consider reading on anything other than an iphone you can read this." I wonder how many articles written about iphones start off with a sentence about it's competitor? Further I wonder how many other articles on products, devices and choices "other than apple" are similarly manipulated... Lets see how they handle Android, they were very slanted in their review of the G1 compared to the iphone. Android and the Google phone to many tech people and young people it is the next wave. And rightfully so, but in all revolutions, the bigot in power wants to remain that way. However, you can't stop progress, especially in a field that is all about progress. Just release your angry fist and let the winds of change take that poisoned apple away from you, you have nothing to lose but your oppression.

T-Mobile are still working on expanding its 3G network across the US, which is perfect timing as they plan to launch a number of new 3G hamdsets this year.

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
