Switched from BB to an Aria.

Just entered 'internet' as the APN and that was all. Works without problems.

You checked to see if you enabled the mobile data option?

Samsung's super slender Galaxy Tab 10.1 snacks on some Honeycomb (video)

Honestly, we were a little bit worried that Samsung's rail-thin Galaxy Tab 10.1 was a mockup -- you know, seeing as how Sammy never turned it on -- but fast-forward to today and there's a working model in Tinhte.vn's capable arms. Yes, the Vietnamese site that's been leaking delicious Apple prototypes -- not to mention the HP TouchPad's SIM slot -- found the 0.33-inch thin slate at an unnamed Samsung booth, powered it up, and proceeded to dive into the sticky-sweet mess of Android 3.0 and iPad 2 comparisons that such a discovery affords.

[Captainzaak]

Ok so i think i'm really gonna have to switch to Bmobile from Digicel to get a reasonably prices data plan.

Digicel's largest plan post paid is a 500MB data plan for $174 (VAT Excl) and then voice on top of that for $95.

Bmobile has unlimited EDGE for $100

Sigh.

[M_2NR]

$100? serious? been hearing its 150$ even 200$. $100 wasnt the promotion price?

[Captainzaak]

$100? serious? been hearing its 150$ even 200$. $100 wasnt the promotion price?

Colleague of mine signed up for it in Jan and is paying $100

I guess the price raised to $150 then, but even self, thats much better than what Digicel is offering.

[Swisha]

it was always $150 and they had a promotional price of $100 over the christmas period. but it's back to $150 now...

[M_2NR]

This is what i know. Thanks for confirming

If you all attend UWI, digicel Freeternity plan was epic, 99$ (plus tax) unlimited BB data (which boils down to normal data at least on the iPhone) and 500 free SMS. I walk in back UWI digicel ask about it, wanna guess the price?

$225 with 200 free text.
the lady watch me and was like... ulyuh was real lucky, that deal may never come back.

[shaq090]

[zodiaque]

Any futher settings? I put "internet" as the APN. The E comes up on top, showing it has connectivity I suppose, but no data is coming through.

Sony Ericsson announces its first Android Walkman phone, the W8



Sony Ericsson has just announced its first phone from the Walkman series to run Android (or the other way around). By the looks of it, the W8 is an XPERIA X8, but with a bit of fancy colors and a WALKMAN logo.

Just like its brother, the X8, the Sony Ericsson W8 sports a 3-inch capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a 3.2MP camera. Under the hood there's a 600MHz single-core processor ticking, with 168MB of RAM.

The W8 will run Android 2.1, which is a bit unfortunate, as most Droids on the market are now running Froyo or even Gingerbread. Nevertheless, this is the first Walkman phone to run the Google mobile OS, which will be covered by the Timescape UI.

Being a Walkman, the phone will come with Sony Ericsson's stereo headset, the MH410.



The Sony Ericsson W8 will be available in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam starting from Q2 2011 in a choice of colors - Azure Blue, Metallic Red, and Iconic Orange. Pricing is yet unknown, though.

Amazon to take on Apple this summer with Samsung-built tablet?



You really should pay attention when Engadget's founder, Peter Rojas speaks about the tech industry. Especially when he leads into a story like this:

It's something of an open secret that Amazon is working on an Android tablet and I am 99 percent certain they are having Samsung build one for them.

The GDGT piece goes on to present a very reasoned argument that paints Amazon, not Samsung or the rest of the traditional consumer electronics industry, as Apple's chief competition in the near-term tablet space. An idea that'll be tough to argue against if Amazon -- with its combined music (downloadable and streaming), video, book, and app ecosystem -- can actually launch a dirt-cheap, highly-customized, 7-inch Android tablet this summer as Pete predicts. Oh, and the fact that Amazon already has our credit card details will certainly make for easy adoption. Hit the source below for the full read or, better yet, stay tuned for the next Engadget Show where we'll be nerding-out with the son of the father of the father of Engadget.

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer hits US on April 26th for $399



We recently deemed the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer the "best Honeycomb tablet yet." Admittedly that was before we got our hands on the T-Mobile G-Slate, but it's still an awfully nice hunk of glass, and now we know just how much you're going to have to pay to get one -- and exactly when you can plunk down that credit card. The 10.1-inch Transformer with its 1280 x 800 IPS panel and 16GB of storage will cost you $399, while the 32GB version will set you back $499. That docking station, which kinda sorta turns it into a laptop? That costs $150. Units are expected to hit retail on Tuesday, April 26th, meaning you have just five days to scrounge together four or five Benjamins -- plus tax, of course.
