After Monday’s holiday we’re already half way through the work week and once again ready to deliver up that tasty bit of goodness we like to call the US Update. Kicking things off this morning is the new Acer W4, a Windows Phone Mango device with an average feature set — where’s the new WP hardware?

Starting June 1st T-Mobile UK will begin offering text, talk or international calling benefits for all customers who top up £10 in a month.

The Motorola Atrix is headed to T-Mobile on 1 June, the network has revealed.

Both Vodafone and Three are signed up for RIM’s latest flagship, but don’t be surprised if Orange and T-mobile also join in the fun.

Is this a sign of Google playing a more active role, possibly even curating future Market submissions?
Going down smoother than a bottle of aged whiskey, it’s your morning US Update. Kicking things off this fine morning is official shipments numbers of the Motorola Xoom, a warning issued by RIM that smartphone shipments will not meet forecasts and a 3D navigation update to Samsung’s Galaxy players. This and more on your US Update.
The merger of Orange and T-mobile UK, better known as Everything Everywhere, has managed to post respectable figures for the first quarter of 2011.

Hardware keyboards on Android smartphones are hard to come by these days.

Much of the phone is a mystery for now, but we’ve confirmed at least one carrier will have the Doubleshot on tap this Summer.
