The FCC already promised us that the dark ages of Sony Ericsson on T-Mobile USA were about to come to an end, and at this time, it seems like we might know precisely when that’s plan to go down. TmoNews appears to have nabbed T-Mobile’s standard-issue internal Dat. sheet for the upcoming TM506 flip, promising a 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, and myFaves support for a September 3 launch in your choice of “emerald green” with black trim or “chrome” with a little touch of amber and black. Strangely, zero mention is made of the phone’s support for AWS 3G, continuing T-Mo’s bizarre tradition of concealing the capability in every single 3G phone it’s launched thus far. Unless you plan on going straight to LTE, guys, it’s time to start tooting your horn a bit at this time that the network’s lighting up.

Well, judging by the dozens of tips we just got, it’s time to once again get your Pwnage on with version 2.0.2 (which was released to counter the, um, “fixes” in iPhone firmware 2.0.1). As usual, hit up the read link.

We hate it how every cellphone we ever use seems to induce sudden hearing loss in our right ear, vertigo, and loss of equilibrium, among a host of other malaises, and we’ve continuously wished someone would stand up, take a stand, and finally stick it to the man. Well, that courageous soul has finally come out of the woodwork, and his name is Michael R. Bennett of California. He claims to be suffering from all sorts of mysterious problems stemming from his use of a Moto and Sammy, which he says were improperly and unsafely designed — a fact that the companies then tried to cover up. If you want to call the Alexander “improperly designed,” we wouldn’t disagree, but we don’t think that’s where this guy is going with this lawsuit, which also names his carrier T-Mobile as a defendant for good measure. We’ll anxiously be awaiting the result of this one while yakking it up on our Sidekicks and wallowing in a vertigo-induced stupor on the floor in this place. Seriously, don’t mind us.
