At some point in time, most of us who use a smart phone have probably owned a Blackberry.  A lot of people won’t admit to it, but they have.  Love it or hate it, you can’t deny that back in the days of being called RIM they owned the planet.  Things have obviously changed, and now they’re struggling to adapt and catch up.

T-Mobile Announces Magenta Days Deals With An Old Device Trade-In Value Up To $200

T-Mobile has announced a new Magenta Days Deal starting today. The deal is that they will guarantee you a trade-in value for your old device worth $50 and up to $200.

I know, we've been beating this iPhone story around the block and back, but this one should appeal to our readers, I think. It appears as though Samsung has filed an injunction to stop the (cr)Apple device from ever hitting French and Italian retail shelves. Big S opened up two cases in Paris, France and Milan, Italy today, asking the courts to halt the sale of the phone -- scheduled to launch on ... »
