I had my T-Mobile SIM in my Nokia N900 and then iPhone 3GS this morning when I saw the Twitterverse actively posting on a possible T-Mobile data outage for Google Nexus One owners.

There are quite a few comments about this on the T-Mobile forums and T-Mobile has not yet posted anything to inform us about what is going on.

UPDATE: What was up with the T-Mobile data outage for Google Nexus One owners?

Technology is responsible for everything good that ever happened. Never mind the iPhone in your pocket, Michelangelo would never have had time to paint the Sistine Chapel if he’d had to hunt-and-gather his food every day, and without the advance of tools Mozart would have composed his concertos arranged for Grunt and Banging Rocks. Unfortunately not every use of human ingenuity is really useful, ingenious, or – if you apply a lower intelligence limit to the species – even “human.” 1.

When we reviewed the Toshiba TG01 we kinda felt a little sorry for it. The specs were great, the form-factor was great, but the front of the phone was badly designed and Windows Mobile 6.1 left it feeling old before it even got started. Hopefully the appearance of the Toshiba TG02 on the FCC could mean that Toshiba are about to launch a much better package
