The Advanced Wireless Services spectrum offers support to cell phones for the 1700/2100 frequency bands, enabling voice, data, video, and messaging services. In the United States T-Mobile is the one who offers this feature for the 3G network.
With support for the AWS, the telecommunication company has released a new cell phone model designed by Sony Ericsson.

"The Sony Ericsson TM506 is a compelling, feature-rich phone with a vibrant display that our customers will enjoy using to connect with the important people in their lives."

Last summer we had no information about the release date and full specification list of the BlackBerry 8820, but now T-Mobile announced it is providing the advanced handset in US for $350.
From the leaked information we had last year, we knew that BlackBerry 8820 will feature Wi-Fi, GPS, EDGE, Bluetooth, card slot and no 3G.

The new information specify the T-Mobile's HotSpot@Home service support which gives the users access to unlimited and free phone calls over the Wi-Fi connectivity, a full QWERTY keyboard, the QVGA display type, music player, and support for 32GB memory cards or 8GB microSD cards.

With the new BlackBerry 8820 you can e-mail your friends, browse the Internet with fast speeds, chat via Instant Messaging on AOL, Yahoo!, ICQ, Windows Live Messenger, and Google Talk, and synchronize your calendar with Outlook wirelessly.
The handset measures 114 x 66 x 14 mm with a weight of 134 grams and its 65K color display has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. The internal memory is of 64MB but there is no camera integrated.

Though, it comes with Organizer, Document Viewer for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, Corel WordPerfect and Adobe PDF, handfree, voice dial, To-Do list, and a battery that lasts up to five hours.

Nokia has just announced at CeBIT the releasing of its latest cell phone, Nokia 6650, exclusively at T-Mobile International, to deliver a stylish phone equipped with the latest T-Mobile services to its customers.

Among its features we encounter a built-in GPS receiver, A-GPS, multimedia player, 3G, GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE, Bluetooth with A2DP, USB, 30MB of internal memory with the possibility to extend it via a microSD card, WAP/xHTML browser, e-mail/IM messaging, FM radio, a Li-Ion battery and a built-in 2MP camera with 1600 x 1200 pixels resolution, video recording capability and flash.



The clamshell gives T-Mobile users access to web’n’walk for instant access to the Internet, My Faves that lets users keep in touch with friends and family, Mobile Jukebox for access to the music player via dedicated keys, and the Assited-GPS for faster positioning using the NaviGate route management service.

Nokia 6650 T-Mobile comes in Silver and Black colors, measures 94 x 47 x 21 mm and shows a 2.2-inch TFT display of 240 x 320 pixels resolution and 16 million colors.



Expect the new cell phone to be available this summer in Europe.

“Good news from T-Mobile!” or better said “Good news for T-Mobile!” because the German court has granted the telecommunications company the exclusiveness to sell the iPhone in this country.
So get ready to say “bye bye!” to the unlocked and expensive devices!

Apple is finally happy that its strategy of selling the iPhone through only one operator in each country has succeeded.
Vodafone has won for a short period of time by obtaining a restriction order for the rival company that was obligated to stop selling locked iPhones.

Klaus Czerwinski, a spokesperson from T-Mobile was happy to declare:
"We are just happy that our opinion is confirmed that this is legal. We still think it is best for the customer."
"From the outset, the intention was ensure clarity on the commercial position in the German marketplace. Vodafone does not believe that the pricing model is in the best interests of the German consumer," added Czerwinski.

T-Mobile has decided to sell the iPhone unlocked since Vodafone did what it could to end the exclusivity over the iPhone sells.

So the Iphone will be available unlocked at a price of or $1,477, just to shut up Vodafone’s mouth, and there will be also the 2-year contract at $590.

This could start an issue for Apple that was trying hard to keep the device unlocked since it was released in US, because there is no law to forbid Germans to sell the iPhones to Americans.

The sales of the unlocked versions have already started on the Internet.
