Stay calm, nothing to get too excited about, but Nokia appears to be prepping yet another low-end flip for T-Mobile (we'd have preferred some S60-based superphone here -- but then again, we imagine they'd have kept the lid a little tighter on the FCC documents if that's what was going on). The
2760 is a phone Nokia pushes as an "emerging markets" device -- yeah, it's
really low-end -- and might be ripe to replace the
6103, rocking a tiny external display, Bluetooth, and VGA camera all wrapped up in a rather plasticky looking shell. AWS 3G isn't in the cards here; in fact, the 2760 is advertised as topping out at GPRS, so we wouldn't recommend anyone go do anything crazy like tether this sucker.

Why did you feel the need to waste bandwith, server space, your time writing it and my time reading it(doh!) on this 1989 piece of technology. Please, there has to be a cutoff. It's CES for crying out loud, isn't there anything better to post about. Next we'll be hearing about ANOTHER iPhone/POD speaker docking system.

I think I speak for all Engadget Mobile readers when I say don't feel guilty for not reporting EVERYTHING you see. You'll know when it's "post worthy". You'll know...

Rest assured, Juice, we *don't* report everything we see - but I strongly believe that any phone release on a US national carrier is news for a site that's dedicated to covering the mobile industry.

NOBODY cares about that crappy phone.

Wow. That looks like a 2003 series Motorola V300/400/500. Except fuglier.

with every single "announcement" they make T-Mob sucks harder and harder. they must be trying really hard to steal some market share from Cricket these days. Next up, another crappy plastic clamshell with a VGA camera! come on t-mob, you know you want to fail!

Since these were released in October last year they have gone on to become my biggest seller. When you can buy them for $119AU it is cheap enough to give away on a $12 plan over 12 months.
