Starting on Wednesday, T-Mobile is launching a new unlimited data tariff, The Full Monty, complete with unlimited data, texts and calls. It’s akin to Three’s One Plan: T-Mobile representatives this morning were keen to stress that there is no hidden cap or limit to 3G use.
So how does it plan to offer this, without its network flagging under the pressure? With a new smartphone app that offloads your phone onto Wi-Fi hotspots seamlessly.
Fresh images have surfaced of an alleged iPhone prototype. The N94 prototype is thought to be that of the iPhone 4S and carries an EVT (Engineering Verification Test) label dated June 7, 2011.

T-mobile is opening the flood gates to a world of unlimited smartphone data. Any customer who signs up with a 24 month plan of £25.52 or more between 1 July and 30 September qualifies for the new truly unlimited internet summer promotion. Existing customers can also join in by upgrading plans or adding a £5.10 per month data bundle on equivalent price plans.
The latest in T-mobile USA’s long line of myTouch smartphones has been made official this afternoon, the myTouch 4G Slide.

As the name suggests the myTouch 4G Slide supports T-mobile’s speedy HSPA+ network. A network which now extends to 190 markets, reaching more than 200 million people. While data speeds are important, the focus here is the 8-megapixel shooter with dual LED flash.

We jump on over to see Nokia’s solution to match Apple AirPlay and then we wrap up with three new pay as you go plans set to debut today on T-Mobile UK.
