We're still kinda weirded out by that figure of
six-frickin'-teen new handsets for T-Mob between now and August, but details on five of those alleged sixteen is a solid start. Boy Genius Report has scored internal release information on three Nokias and two well-known Samsungs, the
t229 and t339. Starting with the Sammies, the t229 will be launching in red (and red only) to shore up the low end with what seems to be a VGA camera, Bluetooth, and not much else, while the t339 will offer WiFi for HotSpot@Home compatibility and a 1.3 megapixel cam; both will be available in June. On the Nokia side, the XpressMusic 5610 slider (which we've
seen in T-Mobile trim courtesy of the FCC) will be joining the
just-announced 5310, though the carrier has yet to determine a launch window for this one. The forgettable 2760 clam launches on June 16 -- nothing more to be said about that one -- and finally, the 6301 with WiFi gets real on June 23. We're holding out for the new
Shadows, but yeah, it seems like a fun time to be a T-Mobile customer -- particularly if you're into the UMA stuff.

They could be offering 1600 new phones, and I doubt any of them would get me to stay with them. Their service and call quality in my region has declined. And their customer service, formerly one of their best selling points, is now struggling to keep up with the other mediocre providers. Combine this with the lack of 3G in what? 99% of their markets and it is a done deal.
When the Dare and 3G iPhone hit, I'll be jumping ship.

"fun time to be a T-Mobile customer" - you've got be kidding right...? All they are releasing is more low-end junk. T-Mobile has got exactly 0 cutting edge exciting new phones. There are some vague rumors about some things coming out in some undisclosed far future that will most likely not be seen this year - this is a sad pathetic situation and it's got me looking elsewhere at this point. Maybe in two years they can turn this around but the near future for T-Mobile is looking depressing to me.
