HTC Desire spotted on T-Mobile UK

If you are after a HTC Desire in the UK and the T-Mobile network works well for you then for £35/month you can pick up the handset for free. T-Mobile confirm on the site that shipping will take up to 7 days which aligns closely with when Amazon are shipping the SIM free variant of the phone.

Another good deal that T-Mobile has is a 24 month contract at £15/month where you can purchase the phone for £129 which isn’t a bad deal at all. With the £15/month price plan you get 300 minutes, 300 texts and the usual unlimited (limited to 1GB) internet connectivity although from my experience with T-Mobile I’ve only got close to the limit once in the last 3 years.

Google Nexus One Heading to Sprint

Sprint have announced that the Google Nexus One is heading to their network which will mean that all the device will be supported on all four of the major carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile).

Pricing hasn’t been confirmed and neither have availability dates although we expect it will closely line up with T-Mobile who already offer the device on their network.

Spotify Consumes more Bandwidth than Sweden

The CEO of Spotify recently said that ‘On certain days, we’re consuming more Internet capacity than Sweden has as a country.

Spotify uses a P2P setup that takes bandwidth usage away from a single server setup allowing the network to grow larger. P2P works by users instlaling the Spotify application which then streams information from one computer to another rather than from a central server setup.

It’s interesting to see how quickly Spotify have grown as they now have 320,000 paying subscribers with around 7 million users in total and yet, they have not entered the US market. [Read more…]
