T-Mobile has continued to lose customers to its larger competitors, notably AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Over the past 8 quarters the company lost about 2.8 million contract customers -- more than 10 percent of its subscriber base.

Will HTC, LG or Samsung make the next Nexus? Or will all of them make one? According to Droid Life, we could see the new Nexus announced at All Things D's "Dive into Mobile." That conference takes place at the end of October.

Android is winning because it is by nature customizable by manufacturers, can be retrofitted for a variety of platforms, and gives consumers far more choice (various price points, screen sizes, performance levels).

The 5-inch display on the HTC Google Nexus 5 would put the new flagship Android in the so-called "phablet" category- a device with a screen big enough to slot in between a small tablet (at 7-inches) and a standard smartphone (typically at 4- to 4.65-inches).

With all of the hardware announcements this month -- Kindle HD, Nokia Lumia 920, HTC Windows Phone 8S and 8X, Apple iPhone 5 -- it's great to see some news on the content front.

The RAZR M is available for pre-order today, and will be in stores next week for $99. No pricing was given for the RAZR HD or RAZR Maxx HD.

Another way to interpret today's data: there's a 50/50 chance that the person next to you owns a smartphone running the Android operating system.

The Google Now team briefly announced that you can now add your favorite sports teams (140 of them), see movie showtimes, and also receive emergency messages such as storm warnings and earthquake alerts. Here's how.
