The Queue: My pet is adorable too
Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today. Mat and Gray aren't the only ones with adorable pets. I can play that game, too! Look at that Roomba up there. It's so cute, what with its glowing cycloptic eye, its massive, unyielding grin and its manic, electronic chittering. Just adorable. lazymangaka asked: What is the most efficient way to grind guild reputation?
T-Mobile launches "myFaves" service, new branding
T-Mobile is dead, long live T-Mobile. October 2006 is looking to mark some major changes for the States' fourth-largest carrier, dropping their corporate branding in favor of what you see above -- a decidedly... well, bubblier font, along with a fresh slogan, "Stick Together." The color scheme (pink, and lots of it) carries over, but the spokesperson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, does not. On a related note T-Mobile is taking the opportunity to launch their myFaves service (reminiscent of Alltel's My Circle) which lets customers place calls airtime-free to five folks of their choice, regardless of carrier. It seems a little sketch that they're restricting the use of myFaves to certain handsets with special firmware -- but with plans starting at $40, we suspect plenty of folks will be willing to pick up new hardware to get in on the action.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
T-Mobile on the cusp of an image overhaul?
We're putting this story together piecemeal, but we've collected enough intelligence at this point to venture a guess that T-Mobile will be launching a moderate rebranding effort in the next month or so. Headlining the evidence is, of course, news that they'll be dropping (or significantly scaling back) use of Catherine Zeta-Jones as their spokesperson. Exhibit B, then, is the almost Skype-like font seen on the shot of T-Mobile's spec sheet for the upcoming Motorola V3t, which looks distinctly unlike anything they're presently using. Finally, we've heard rumblings that their well-known slogan, "Get More," will be getting the boot before too long. All this comes at a time when T-Mobile's stealing a good deal of the American carrier spotlight, what with their impending launch of the hotly-anticipated Dash and UMA service; that's all well and good, but more importantly, who's going to replace Catherine?
