T-Mobile pays business customers $200 per line to switch over
Good ol’ magenta is reaching out to potential business customers with a new promotion. T-Mobile is willing to apply a $200 bill credit for any business that leaves its current mobile provider for T-Mobile. This is a limited time offer and requires a two-year agreement in addition to a device purchase is to obtain the credit.
Switching to T-Mobile will get you a $125 gift card
T-Mobile is going to great lengths to get customers back. Even though it’s in the middle of a merger with AT&T, T-Mobile USA is going to keep slamming the competition with various advertisements while trying to make its network more appealing. In the past week we’ve seen phone discounts, free Wi-Fi calling, prepaid plan upgrades and other enhanced features coming from T-Mobile. That probably won’t be enough to convince some to make the switch, so T-Mobile is going to line some pockets to sweeten the deal.
New Nokia E63 hits the scene trying to un-Blackberry the masses
Following on the heels of its big brother the E71, Nokia just released its newest in their E-Line, the E63. It’s a candybar style phone shooting to bring “the QWERTY keyboard form factor to a broader audience at a great price” according to the Nokia website.
Unfortunately, Nokia isn’t telling too much about the inner workings of the phone or what all makes it different from the E71 quite yet. What we do know is that what Nokia is using as its big draw is being able to switch back and forth with a single key press between the corporate e-mail and calendar mode with the personal mode which features e-mail, websites and photos. Nokia also serves up 1GB of cloud storage on Ovi when you buy the E63. And of course, there is the obvious Wi-Fi connectivity. . . .
New York City to show some tough love to TV viewers
This Tuesday, October 28th, NYC is cutting out analog television for three minutes. They aren’t pulling any punches; analog signals will go dark between 5:58PM and 6:01PM right in time to mess up most news programs.
If you aren’t aware, on February 19, 2009, all television broadcasts in the U.S. will be digital. If you (or more likely, your grandparents) have a television without a digital tuner, you will not be able to watch free over-the-air television without a converter box.
Where did they get the idea to do this? Maybe from some friends of ours. Check out more after the break.
