Unwanted Windows Live Weather Alerts
In: GSM| RANTING| Software| Technology
31 Oct 2007We got Samantha a new T-Mobile cell a few weeks back. But it came with an unwanted and expensive feature: every morning at 11:00, she receives a weather update from Windows Live Alerts.
Apparently the previous owner of the number had these alerts programmed. And of course, there is no way to shut them off because [...]
Dear Sprint (PCS): You suck!
In: GSM
16 Oct 2007Samantha’s second Samsung A560 died last week, so I got mad and called Sprint to try and get out of the contract. No way — a kidney and my eldest child is the only way to get out of this deal with the devil.
So, until March 2008, the phone will be powered down and stuck [...]
Rizr Mod — Debranding and Speed
In: GSM
14 Oct 2007Got my T-Mobile Rizr Z3 unlocked yesterday and it is now running the stock Z3 Software…looks like for Malaysia!
I hated all the extras that came with the T-Mobile Software. Now, I am happy.
T-Mobile: Redemption is yours
In: Technology
22 May 2007Last night, I spent over an hour on the phone with three very friendly and helpful T-Mobile tech support representatives, and guess what? The troublesome Samsung T619 I slammed a couple of weeks ago is now able to send and receive text messages.
I was impressed with the efficiency of the T-Mobile team, and the Tier [...]
T-Mobile: Drop the Cheap Samsung T619
In: RANTING
12 May 2007I actually upgraded my phone through T-Mobile about a month ago, and it was a mistake. I went with the Free upgrade (mistake number one) and chose the Samsung SGH-T619.
It’s a piece of crap. I guess I should have known that when I chose the free upgrade.
My biggest complaint: it won’t send text messages. That’s [...]
T-Mobile USA: Your upgrades suck
In: RANTING
12 Nov 2006Dear T-Mobile USA:
I have been a dedicated customer of yours since 2004. I have become an advocate for GSM services, and think that my brethern who continue to use CDMA services are not looking to the future, and don’t see the world coming at them.
That said, as a customer who likes gadgets and all the [...]
Razr: MIDPSSH works just fine
In: Technology
30 May 2006Just got MIDPSSH to work on my Razr. Had to perform a few hacks to get around the T-Mobile Firewall (SSHD now listens on port 110), but there is some perverse pleasure in seeing a linux command prompt on my Razr.
Maybe I need to do some real work now.

More Treos per square foot: Musings on a Mobile Workforce
In: Life| RANTING| Technology
27 Apr 2006As many of you know, I inherited an old, very well-used T-Mobile Treo 600 a couple of weeks ago. Well, I have become acutely aware of people who have them, much like suddenly noticing pregnant women when your wife is pregnant.
Today, I am on-site at a large client in the Philadelphia area, and the office [...]
T-Mobile: How I love thee…
In: Life| Technology
23 Apr 2006Scott Johnson writes about how we all want to drop our mobile provider every once and a while. [here]
I have the same provider that Scott does: T-Mobile.
I am a complete T-Mobile lover. The coverage is great, and the use of GSM makes it so perfect for my travel needs, which includes the occasional trip to [...]
Second-Hand Treo 600
In: Life| Technology
13 Apr 2006It turns out that my boss had an old Treo 600 lying around the house he wasn’t using. And it turns out that it was a T-Mobile Treo 600, not the Verizon crud that the company provides. And since the company upgraded him to a Verizon Treo 700 (which doesn’t work in Europe, much to [...]
