FCC approves Samsung SGH-T639, T-Mobile's first 3G phone?
Well, what have we here? The oh-so-informative depths of the FCC have seemingly disclosed what appears to be the "first 3G handset approved for T-Mobile." Judging by the tested bands and the obvious model number, it looks like the SGH-T639 (Alltel flavor pictured) may be a sign of things to come (and hopefully soon) for T-Mobile. Of course, we did see a similar coincidence earlier this year when Nokia's N90 got its own shiny approval sticker, but there's no harm in hoping. The clamshell device supports quad-band connectivity and Bluetooth, but until T-Mobile or Samsung fess up to exactly what's going on here, speculation is still all we've got in regard to T-Mobile's forthcoming 3G rollout.[Via Phonescoop]

Can we clarify on whether you mean the N90 or the E90 concerning the link?

w/e. they only have reception in more populated area. if you go out the city they have no service, only Verizon and ATT has reception. i like T-Mobile's plans but getting signal is more important. T-Mobile never have a good looking phone and their phones are overpriced ex. SIDEKICK. that phone was $350 when it came out and Verizon Wireless enV was $150 with more applications. I don't think their 3G network is going to work that good, for example, ATT's 3G had some problems. Why would you say T-Mobile is the best? all i know that they have only around 20 millions customers. Verizon and ATT has over 55 million customers in the U.S. each.
