T-Mobile drops some overage charges in favor of bandwidth throttling
If you are a current subscriber to T-Mobile’s 5GB webConnect data plan the recent announcement made by the wireless network may be some good news or bad news depending on how you look at it. T-Mobile recently announced that the carrier will no longer be charging its $.20 per megabyte overage fee for any data used beyond the 5GB limit. Instead of these overage fees the wireless network will be implementing bandwidth throttling on any data used on top of the standard 5GB. While T-Mobile did not say exactly how much they will slow things down this latest announcement effectively makes the 5GB webConnect data plan an unlimited plan. This new data structure will also affect those customers who are on the 200MB monthly plan for their iPhone or other devices. While these customers will not see any bandwidth throttling they will see their overage charges cut in half from $.20 to $.10 per megabyte. Both changes are effective immediately.

Nokia E72 gets white paint option, firmware update
A day after RIM chief Mike Lazaridis made the official announcement that BlackBerry would be coming out with a white BlackBerry Bold Nokia followed suit with their own announcement of a pale hued E72. Coming with a skinned UI to match the externals the new handset is being announced alongside a firmware update that will improve Ovi Maps, social networking integration and allow for location sharing through Facebook. Internet radio of an unspecified variety has been included as well along with general performance and stability improvements. Seeing as how the E7x series from Nokia is the closest competitor to the BlackBerry businessphone line it would make perfect sense that Nokia would come out with a white colored device on the heels of RIM’s announcement yesterday. The E7x series from Nokia is strikingly similar to many of BlackBerry’s devices that are targeted for the business crowd. This updated color is just a small part of the enhancements that Nokia made to their E7x series. The various updates included with the new firmware is sure to make the Nokia E7x series that much more enjoyable for the consumer. Much needed improvements to Ovi Maps and enhanced social networking integration will make these mobile devices from Nokia that much more appealing to mobile phone consumers.
