Whoa, was the AT&T and T-Mobile deal approved? - General Topics

I just saw a commercial for their huge new network. I must have missed this while I was at OCS.

AT&T expects the merger to be approved in Q1 2012. Nothing has been approved yet.

That's what I thought. Strange they're already pushing commercials.

I saw the same commercial. Im guessing its to make the general public feel more comfortable about it.

wow. whats next, apple & microsoft?

That can happen. Apple and MS are tied closer together than a lot of people realize. I'm not saying it will happen. But it could happen.

Videos of videos bug the crap out of me.
Anytime I count my chickens before they hatch, it never works out in my favor. I hope this is the case with AT&T!

I would love to see that happen! Not all of the killing and chaos, of course. But to have super sophisticated robots that are as strong and deadly as the terminators would be excellent. Just send one terminator...or a platoon of them, maybe...to deal with the Falling Skies aliens...

T-Mo testing 2.3 in the field?

OK, since I'm new to XDA I can't post a link (kinda understandable, but actually quite lame). Check on TmoNews.com
"Update: We believe this is a market specific opportunity for employees in an as of yet undetermined region. We have been unable to confirm this as a nationwide opportunity for frontline employees. Please don’t post your number or IMEI in the comments, or I’ll prank call you myself. Seriously.
While the mystery of the T-Mobile G2x inventory continues, the much anticipated Gingerbread update is about to get some love through employee testing. According to this internal email T-Mobile frontline employees who are currently using a G2x smartphone might qualify to test Gingerbread and it’s maintenance release on their own personal device. While there have been some rumors about a G2x Gingerbread update coming out this week or the next, with no current date set for this trial it seems likely we are still looking at some time before the update rolls out to the public. Of course we’ll update as we know more!"
Funny thing is I called Tmo about a data issue (seems it was network, not phone related in retrospect). Thing is while we were talking and I was mentioning various G2x issues, she said, "Looks like there is a gingerbread update we might be able to get you." Then a minute later said, "Actually we have no information to give you at this time."
Come on, someone get this uploaded to the masses!

Not polite to ask when something will be done or released. A couple very talented individuals are working on it. When they are done it will be released. Have patience.

when its done
Well, we have to consider many things.
First and most importantly, Google just acquired Motorola's mobile phones division for $12.5 billion. That means that they are gonna be a major hardware manufacturer and the phones that they make will probably be able to handle Android better than the rest of the competition.
Also, don't forget that 2011 is the year of the rabbit. The rabbit is a swift little creature and it doesn't like to get caught.
If we compare cyanogemod to the rabbit, and then compare that to google's purchase of Moto's mobile division, then we can clearly see that there's no connection between any of these things.
So long story short, yes, we still don't know. We're all just sitting tight.
sad part is once they get cm7 they will want something else lol
I'm hoping for a MIUI released right after that

That does seem to be the way the world works these days, right? I rofl at people with a sense of entitlement.
Honestly, does it really even matter right now when CM7 will be released? Seemingly every day our wonderful developers are releasing new ROM's. Pick one, love it, and live with it. Or pick a few and love them!

Very understandable. In the time I've been with this forum, I've seen a lot of that going on and it's ridiculous. Internet browsers should pop up a notice saying "Don't forget the search feature!" when somebody opens a new tab or window lol
I'd hate to see you go, also. It would be a loss for us!
Just checked and it said the guy working on the port still needs a kernel

MegaShare is off line

this thread is not to voice your opinion about SOPA or PIPA.
This is the MyTouch4G section, remember that..
MegaShare was taken offline to day and the founder was charged with piracy and copy-write violations. If you are trying to download something from that source it will not work.
Thank you for your attention.
If we are going to discuss this please keep it clean, fun, and remember this is the MyTouch section and not the general.
How can they do that? I though it didn't pass or hasn't even been voted on?

Wait so SOPA was passed......?

No, MegaShare was shut down using already existing legislation. Imagine how much worse it would be if SOPA/PIPA is passed.

Nope it was not. This is the actions of F.B.I along with the D.O.J. But my personal opinion that is since #SOPA and #PIPA didn't pass the RIAA is being a real PITA about it.
Ah ok thanks for the clear up both of you. If SOPA is passed, I'll be depressed. Well, thanks for this information

In their eyes the problem isn't the medium from which we download the content. It's the content itself that is the problem.
I use dropbox and box accordingly. their Terms of Service state that anything you upload belongs to them. So with that being said i know they go though my stuff and if they don't like it, or find it violates privacy laws they can get rid of it.
