Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , RIM , Samsung , T-Mobile , GSM , GPRS , EDGE , UMTS Though we still don't have a great sense of exactly when or where T-Mobile plans to kick off its long-overdue 3G launch , the hardware is thankfully starting to materialize -- so they'll at least be ready when the time comes to flip the switch. Boy Genius Report has apparently scored some additional intel detailing the Samsung SGH-T639, a phone we saw grace the FCC not long ago (which is how we happen to know it rocks T-Mobile's particular flavor of WCDMA, 1700MHz). If this slide pans out, it looks like the T639 is a pretty unremarkable offering considering its rather remarkable place in T-Mobile history, sporting a meager one megapixel camera in an ultra-conservative flip package. It looks like it'll hit on the 10th of September, though there's no indication whether any 3G markets will light up on the same day. In other T-Mobile news, it looks like the carrier will be rereleasing the first-gen BlackBerry Pearl in three new colors on September 4 while the more interesting 8320 variant of the Curve -- WiFi and all -- hits on September 24. Finally, Motorola pulls two out of its sleeve for the month: the low end W490 clamshell and the "RAZR V3 06," which as far as we can tell, is yet another rehash of the tired RAZR V3. At any rate, kudos, T-Mobile! Read - Samsung SGH-T639 Read - RIM BlackBerry Curve 8320 Read - RIM BlackBerry Pearl Read - Motorola RAZR V3 06, W490 Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
