The device was launched by Orange in the United Kingdom, under the name we all knew very well, HTC Hero. But it seems that the same device is now available via T-Mobile under a different name. It is called T-Mobile G2 Touch.

Even if the list of features was at your disposal, just in case you were curious about it, let me refresh your memory. The Hero comes with a 3.2 inch HVGA touch sensitive display, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, the Android operating system 1.5, GPS, Wi-Fi and 3.5mm headset jack.

The HTC Hero is the third HTC handset to be equipped with the Android platform, but for T-Mobile UK is only the second to be sold. Now, if you’re interested in buying the phone, you can get it for free, but you’ll have to sign a contract agreement for a year and a half (18 months) with a monthly plan that shouldn’t be less than £35.

T-Mobile announced the availability of the HTC Touch Pro2, which is expected to start selling in the first half of the next month. The release date is said to be August 12. It’s a little bit late, we might say, as this new model is already available in European and Asian countries.

The phone runs on the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system and is equipped with a bunch of advanced features that will certainly impress its customers, such as a 3.6 inch WVGA tilting display which is also touch sensitive, a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus, a full QWERTY keyboard, 3G, GPS and Wi-Fi.

The Touch Pro2 that is going to be sold by T-Mobile USA will be available in one color and one color only. Mocha, they say. As for the price, it hasn’t been unveiled.

“This summer, many people are balancing summer vacations and time away from the office with the pressures of the workplace” said Travis Warren, Director, Product Marketing, T-Mobile USA. He further added that: “We are pleased to announce the HTC Touch Pro2, a uniquely designed device that will help customers manage their day-to-day activities, whether they are in the office or working from an airport, the local playground or the car.”

Rumors say that the other major American providers are planning to sell the device, but they haven’t made any announcement for the moment.

I don’t know which details you took seriously, but what you should have taken is the fact that the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is the first to have been designed by Research in Motion and to come with an optical trackpad, which replaced the trackball.

Both cell phones could be seen before, but they finally came to that point when they are given the official treatment. However, if you’re already interested in purchasing one of these two cell phones, you’ll only be able to have a Samsung Comeback of your own.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The t559 comes with a 2 megapixel camera, 3G, MP3 player, for music addicts, email and IM, video messaging and a microSDHC card slot for expandable memory of no more than 16GB. You can find the phone in two different colors, frost silver cherry and pearl white plum. The price you’ll have to pay is of $29.99, as long as you’re willing to sign a contract agreement for a period of 2 years.

As for the Samsung Gravity 2, it comes with a QWERTY keyboard, 3G, a 2 megapixel camera, an MP3 player and a microSDHC card slot. This one is expected to become available via T-Mobile USA starting next month, for a price that we don’t know right now.

Called Samsung T559, there were rumors a week ago about a release that should have taken place on July 15th. Same rumors said that it was expected to hit the market under the name of Samsung Comeback.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

What’s very nice is the fact that we have some new fresh pictures of the Comeback that is presented in two different colors: purple and red. However, rumors say that it will be available in three other colors also.

Being part of the messaging phones family, the T559 comes with features such as a horizontal display that is able to fold up, an alphanumeric keyboard, a full QWERTY keyboard, a 2 megapixel camera, GPS and Bluetooth, and a microSD card slot for expandable memory.

Enough with the information about the Samsung Comeback T559, don’t you think? I’m sure you would like to know the price of the cell phone, but we don’t have such details at our disposal. Nevertheless, we don’t expect to be an expensive handset.

It seems that the Samsung Highlight is already available via T-Mobile USA, being somehow a continuation of the tradition the American provider has created in the direction of the simple handsets. In spite of the fact that the device is simple, as I just said, it won’t disappoint you, as it has all the features that you’re interested in when looking for a phone.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

So, here’s what the Samsung Highlight is ready to offer: EDGE and HSDPA connectivity, a touch sensitive display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, assisted GPS, a 3 megapixel camera, the TouchWiz user interface, HTML browser, Bluetooth connectivity, music player and microSD card slot.

Following O2’s example, T-Mobile UK decided to try its best in order to become the only carrier to sell the LG GT500. And it seems that it managed to reach its objective. Chances are high for this exclusivity to turn into a very advantageous business, because the GT500 is a very cheap touch sensitive phone that is expected to sell well.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The success of the phone is guaranteed, being a mixture between a very stylish design and a nice list of features. To be more precise, the LG GT500 is equipped with a 3 inch touch sensitive display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, GPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA connectivity, push email, and preinstalled links that give you the chance to access some of the most popular networking websites that are available right now, such as Facebook and Twitter.

As for the availability, the handset is expected to start selling right away via T-Mobile UK. You’ll be able to get it for free, as long as you choose plans of at least £25 per month.

In the given context, the annpuncement made by Samsung and T-Mobile should be received with applause, because they have just come up with an eco cell phone which you’ll refer to as Samsung S3030 Eco.

The handset was expected to become available starting July 2nd in the Netherlands, which was a couple of days ago. At first glance, you’ll see that the Eco is actually something like another version of the Samsung S3030 Tobi, a slider that was announced and presented at the end of last year (sometime in November) as a cell phone for children.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Let’s now see what turns the S3030 Eco into a green cell phone. First of all, it is made of bio-plastic, which means it’s free of brominated flame retardants (also known as BFR) and PVC. On the other hand, the charger is also an eco-friendly component. Not to mention the fact that the pacakging is made from materials that you can recycle 100%.

As for the features, this is what you can find on board: a photo camera (most probably it will be a 1.3 megapixel one), MP3 player, FM radio and a microSD card slot for expandable memory (of no more than 8GB).

You can purchase the new Samsung S3030 Eco from T-Mobile Netherlands for a price of no more than €89.95 on pre-pay. Unfortunately, we don’t know if the handset will become available in other markets. Not yet.

It’s just that T-Mobile will sell the HTC Snap under the name of T-Mobile Dash 3G and it’s expected to be the next Dash generation, replacing the first one which was manufactured by the same company, HTC. The Dash comes with several features that you might be impressed with. And the most important of them all is, of course, the 3G connectivity.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Other features of the Dash include the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1, the full QWERTY keyboard, a trackball that is very easy to use, voice calling, messaging, both personal and business e-mail, GPS functionality, synchronization with Microsoft Outlook and a QVGA display. Not to mention the beautiful sleek black case that comes with red accents.

“As millions of families prepare to hit the road this summer, T-Mobile is offering our first 3G-enabled Windows Mobile smartphone to help customers stay connected, organized and traveling in the right direction”, said Travis Warren, who is the Director of Product Marketing, at T-Mobile USA. “We’re excited to offer the power and style of the T-Mobile Dash 3G with high-speed Internet access thanks to T-Mobile’s rapidly expanding 3G network.”

The new device brought by T-Mobile USA, the Dash 3G, is expected to start selling in July, but the price is still unknown.

Now, there’s another Samsung device to be expected to become available in the next couple of months through T-Mobile USA shops is called the Samsung Spark t749, which is, compared to the models I mentioned earlier, a mid-end cell phone.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

This device has just obtained the FCC approval, being a 850/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE and a 1700 WCDMA device, equipped with the Bluetooth connectivity, which means the t749 will be part of the 3G range of cell phones offered by T-Mobile. Unfortunately, we don’t have much information at our disposal, if there will be a touch sensitive display involved or not, because the only thing we’ve got right now is the sketch you saw above provided by FCC.

However, the least we expect to see on the board of the Samsung t749 includes the integrated assisted GPS with TeleNav and a 3 megapixel camera.

Due to the fact that we don’t have more details for the moment, it’s understandable that we don’t know when the phone is going to hit the market. But what we know for sure is that the t740 is on the list of future T-Mobile phones.
