AT&T: Trial Upgrade Program for 1900 MHz-Only Phones Launched
Update 2: Apparently to qualify you simply need to use the T68i, you don’t even need to have the IMEI swapped on the account to get the T226 upgraded. Just drop the SIM in your old T68i and if you qualify you will get a letter in the mail. Update: AT&T and Sony Ericsson have […]
Phones Section Updated *Updated*
Update: OTA theme downloading has been established, though it will not be available until tomorrow. Until then I have uploaded three more themes (the ones that come with the phone; Fire, Earth & Metal, as they are erased in a ##786 reset)… T608 Themes Section has been added to the T608 page.

New T608 Application: Mistake or Sick Joke?
Sprint today posted a new Application for purchase from the Vision store, and it is available for T608 owners. It’s the AP Newswire’s Pictures and Newsfeed program. The problem?

Metro PCS Testing Sony Ericsson T606
I’m getting unconfirmed reports that MetroPCS is currently testing the SonyEricsson T606. They go as far as to say that it will be an exclusive phone. That’s not good news, as MetroPCS has extremely spotty coverage, and currently no internet services (though they are CDMA2000 1x-RTT, so they may launch them with this phone).
From MobileTracker
Just saw this posted on Mobile Tracker: Still no T608 “Despite a ton of chatter, the T608 is still not on the market. MobileTracker took a lot of heat from Sony Ericsson fans for declaring the phone KIA, even though the company stated it axed the North American CDMA unit in financial reports.” “Sources continue […]

CNet.com Posts Sony Ericsson T608
Update: CNet has pulled the T608 from their “upcoming reviews” section, but the listed page is still live. This could mean that they pulled it due to the uncertain release, or that they have will not be making a review for it (as I would be suprised if they didn’t get a review copy – […]

Sprint eCare Becoming More T608-Aware
I normally don’t post email from eCare, and I’m not going to start now. But the cookie-cutter T608 responses to questions of if the phone will come out are getting more and more detailed, hyping up Bluetooth and reassuring even more than ever. I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, eCare has been wrong […]
