T-Mobile G2x Gingerbread update goes live again, HTC Radar 4G and HD7 get software patches too

If you are holding on to a T-Mobile G2x and you somehow still have Froyo running on it, the carrier is now giving you another chance at getting updated to Gingerbread over-the-air. And it is not that the software update, which rolled out back in July, was unsuccessful or anything, but there seem to be people who either missed it or purchased the smartphone after the update had completed. Besides bringing the phone's Android version to 2.3, the update takes care of those pesky unexpected reboots and improves battery life. It also addresses the front-facing camera issues, which occur when using Qik, and improves disabling of Car Home.

But the T-Mobile G2x may not be the only smartphone that the carrier will be updating this week. The HTC Radar 4G and HD7, which both run Windows Phone, are expected to receive software updates as well, if a recent leak is to be trusted.

Besides, both smartphones will have their visual voicemail issues resolved. The new software is supposed to become available today, so if you happen to own either the Radar 4G or the HD7, feel free to hook it up to your PC, launch Zune, and get updated.

T-Mobile brings 6 new devices to its lineup today just in time for the fall season

Now that we’re in the heart of the busy fall season, T-Mobile managed to bring 6 new devices to its lineup to give its customers a lot of variety to choose from – well, that’s if they’re in the market for smartphones and tablets.

In fact, the date of November 2nd has been kicking around for many devices, but now that it’s finally here, there’s a lot to be happy about since they’re arriving at a time when busy holiday shoppers are starting their rounds. Specifically, today marks the official launch nationwide of the HTC Radar 4G, LG DoublePlay, Samsung Exhibit II 4G, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, T-Mobile myTouch, and the T-Mobile myTouch Q. In terms of pricing, they’re respectively at $99.99, $99.99, $29.99, $399.99, $79.99, and $79.99 – all of which require your signature on a 2-year agreement of course.

Granted than none of them are necessarily killer devices at this point, they’re priced fittingly to be extremely competitive. And of course, they won’t drain your wallet completely from your hard-earned cash.

In any event, if you’re in the market of spending some moolah on something more grand, then we’d suggest taking a look at either the recently released HTC Amaze 4G or Samsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile.
