Crossing the border... illegally...

SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT... If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years of hard labor. If you cross the Afghanistan border illegally, you get shot. Two Americans just got eight years for crossing the Iranian border. But if you cross the U.S. border illegally you get a job, a… drivers license, food stamps, a place to live, health care, housing, child benefits, education and a tax free business for 7 years... No our country is in debt...

T-Mobile G2 gets Gingerbread

Great news T-Mobile G2 owners as today is a magical day for you. That’s right I’m talking about a Gingerbread OTA update that begins today and will rollout over the next few weeks to all G2 owners. This has been a great week for T-Mobile Android owners who are finally seeing a long promised Gingerbread update arrive. Let’s just get right to the meat of this and tell you what’s in store:

• Android 2.3.3
• Google Books added
• Notification color scheme is now black
• New battery indicator, phone and web icons
• Color-coded network icon and signal indicator
• Pressing the power key on a call disables the proximity sensor
• Wi-Fi calling improvements
• New SMS and email notification improvements
• Improvements to sending MMS from the Gallery

If you aren’t willing to wait for the OTA to come to you, you can try and go to it by using the following steps:

1. Press the MENU key
2. Tap SETTINGS
3. Tap ABOUT PHONE
4. Tap SYSTEM UPDATES

Note this line from the support document which I’m emphasizing in bold capital letters so people are sure to read it:

IMPORTANT: DO NOT CALL T-MOBILE TO RECEIVE THE UPDATE BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1. THE TIMELINE FOR RECEIVING THE OTA CANNOT BE EXPEDITED. T-MOBILE CANNOT MANUALLY PUSH THE SOFTWARE TO CUSTOMERS WHO ASK TO RECEIVE IT. 

Hope you all got that last part!

A few of my friends have LTE devices and love the upload and download speeds that they’ve been getting. They tell me to get one when my iPhone 3GS contract runs out. The Verizon store reps in my neighborhood rave to me about the Droid Charge and the HTC ThunderBolt. My co-workers have bought into 4G LTE.
