  • Proposed class action settlement would let you unlock almost any AT&T handset — except the iPhone

    Proposed class action settlement would let you unlock almost any AT&T handset — except the iPhone

    Posted on May 24, 2010 | No Comments
    So the good news is that a class action lawsuit out in Cali is on the cusp of coming to a resolution, and the resolution will require AT&T to provide an unlock code for just about any phone it has sold since March 12, 1999 -- in other words, you'll be able to take the phone and use it on any GSM carrier of your choice. We say "just about" because there's one big exception -- any phone for which AT&T secured an exclusivity period of at least ten months -- which naturally includes the iPhone (in fact, it's called out by name in the settlement). There are some stipulations, too; if you're postpaid, you have to have been a customer for at least 90 days, and even devices with exclusivity periods of less than ten months can't be unlocked until the period is over (which admittedly makes good sense). Taking a Backflip somewhere else might not seem like a particularly appealing option, but who knows -- maybe you're a T-Mobile customer with a thing for backward hinges and a disdain for 3G.

    Proposed class action settlement would let you unlock almost any AT&T handset -- except the iPhone originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 24 May 2010 22:45:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

    The Dell Latitude E6410 and E6510 bring Core i5, Core i7, and discrete graphics

    Posted on April 7, 2010 | No Comments
    Dell has been building notebooks under the Latitude nameplate, well, forever, right? It seems that way, but the series keeps trucking on as the company continues to load the latest goods onto the platform. The E6410 and E6510 builds upon the success of the previous generation but ditches the 2009 specs for chips that are a bit more 2010.

    Review: Jabra Halo Bluetooth stereo headphones

    Posted on October 1, 2009 | No Comments
    I love wireless technology and will write-off a lot of its downfalls for the advantages. For instance, it doesn’t bother me that the audio quality of the Jabra Halo is sub-par, because they are wireless and very comfortable. Plus, I can deal with a lot of connection issues if I can eventually get it to [...]
