3DRealms is done. Supposedly, Take-Two Interactive now owns rights to Duke Nukem. Maybe they're going to finish this game now. They did invest a couple of million into the game already. They have a fiscal responsibility to try and see it released.
It's actually less support than if you bought an iPhone. T-Mobile tech support will at least try and troubleshoot your iPhone for you. They'll get you setup with the correct network settings, etc.... It looks like if you have a Nexus One, however, they just xfer you to Google/HTC though.
Wow, really? I used to work tech support for T-Mobile USA. We were expected to try our best to help troubleshoot any T-Mobile customer using any T-Mobile phone. I helped setup iPhones on our network, troubleshoot a ton of European and Asian devices that I had never heard of, and helped customers who couldn't receive text messages while they were visiting Zimbabwe. I was extremely surprised that T-Mobile was not doing the tech support for the Nexus, since they support every other device out there anyways no matter where you got it from. Pretty strange...T-Mobile will provide tech support for the iPhone but not a Nexus One.
That's what I used to think. But I had a coworker awhile back who was severely allergic to nuts, and one day I brought in a PBJ sandwich, and she sat a few cubicles away from me, and almost immediately asked if somebody was eating something with nuts because her throat and skin started to itch. Until that day, I never really realized exactly how bad food allergies could be.
It's an escape from reality. Movies were hugely popular during the Great Depression even though nobody had money. And, nowadays $50 isn't that much for days of entertainment. Especially when I could easily blow that much in a night...hell, in just a couple of hours out on the town.
T-Mobile also has Visual Voicemail. It comes on all of their Android devices, and even some of their Blackberrys as well. I believe Verizon has it, too.
Sorry to burst your bubble here, but T-Mobile just started offering discounts on price plans based on whether or not you buy a subsidized phone. They are the Even More and Even More Plus plans. You can choose to buy a subsidized phone, and be locked into a 2 year contract and pay higher monthly rates, or you can buy an unlocked phone (or buy a Tmo phone in monthtly installments) and your monthly plan will be about $10-$20 less a month, and you have no annual contract.
If it was to be used only in an emergency, that would be great. But, of course, as another poster mentioned there's the the weekly tests. Then, I'm sure the Weather service and local Police Depts would want to broadcast every rain, snow, hail, and sleet storm as well as Amber alerts, too. So, yes, it would become pretty annoying. I live in Georgia, and they interrupt primetime TV at least once a week for hours at a time just to alert me that it's raining.
T-Mobile does exactly that. You can either buy a subsidized phone and get a contract and a higher monthly fee. Or you can buy retail price and pay a lower monthly fee. If you want, you can pay the retail price in installments as well.
And also the integration with Communicator and Live Meeting. I have teammates all over the country, and these tools make it a lot easier to collaborate and communicate.
Is there a cellphone provider that doesn't require you to provide your SSN before signing up for a contract?
Yes, T-Mobile doesn't require SSN. You can either refuse, or just sign up for a Flexpay account. Flexpay doesn't even require a contract if you want to pay full price for the phone.

Get Out of Sprint Free

You're with T-mobile. They're a GSM carrier. Just buy a new phone on Ebay. There's a great selection of GSM phones. Also, (and I'm not sure if this works any more), but you used to be able to buy a cheap, prepaid GSM phone, and then just put your postpaid SIM in there. Cheap, easy way to get a replacement.
That's exactly why they became popular. They all use 3DES encryption. And it's also the reason that Blackberrys do not (at least until the Pearl) have cameras. That way people could use them when working around classified material.
However, one problem I see is that RIM is a Canadian-based company, and their servers are in Canada. There's nothing stopping the authorities up there to install some kind of sniffing device without anybody knowing. I mean, c'mon, you know what most countries would give if the President of the USA were to use servers based in their country? That just makes spying waaaaaaay to easy.

People should really read the articles and smarten up.
Why the cell phone companies can't combine the limits on prepaid plans with conventional rate plans is an interesting question, but I suspect the answer is not a technical limitation.
Actually, T-Mobile does. It's called Flexpay, and your service gets cut off (at least for the rest of the billing cycle) when you reach your limit. And they have the same plans that normal postpaid accounts do. You can even buy your phone at full retail price and not even have a contract. You can cancel at any time.
I'm not sure why the other companies do that. I suspect T-Mobile does cause their the little guy, and they need the customers.
Yes, and it's even more than just a joke. Basically, they are saying that "I don't have proof that the earth is flat. Your showing me pictures is not good enough proof. When I stand on a railroad track and look in both directions, the earth looks flat to me. My eyes tell me its flat every day. I want to see for myself that it is round, and until then, I will have to trust my eyes - which tell me it's flat."
They are just questioning everything and will not accept something just because somebody tells them it is true.

You don't work in IT do you? If you did you'd realise that sounds like any typical project plan.
No it doesn't. They all agreed on the delivery date.
