T-Mobile USA announced the introduction of Web2go, promising subscribers an intuitive and improved mobile web browsing experience optimized across the operator's handset portfolio. According to T-Mobile USA, Web2go featured improved web viewing and navigation, enhanced search via Yahoo oneSearch and a more efficient mobile content shopping experience. A customizable homepage enables one-click access to favorite websites, while the My Downloads feature retains certain premium applications, games and content when subscribers upgrade to new phones. As anticipated [1], T-Mobile also announced a series of new bundled data plans, with options for web, email and messaging across all compatible phones and devices--unlimited Internet plans start at $39.99 per month.
Beyond traditional web search results, Yahoo oneSearch will offer consumers the latest news, information and content, including Flickr photos. Query results are intuitively grouped around the user's inquiry--for example, when a T-Mobile subscriber searches for a sports team, the results will include the latest scores, schedules, team profiles, roster, news, images and a link to the team's website. Yahoo oneSearch will also display relevant ringtones, wallpaper, games and other premium content available for download in the T-Mobile store.
