We're not too sure what to make of this, but the industry journal Mobile/Cellular Technology slips a couple interesting details in its profile page for T-Mobile USA: one, that it'll be picking up the Nokia N90 (a little old, no?), and more interestingly, that it'll also rock the N95. To be fair, they manage to accidentally swap the N90's and N95's pictures in their sidebar, so they may have absolutely no idea what they're talking about, but for a country (and a carrier) starved for S60 devices, this is a rumor we'd very much like to cling to. As always, we'll remain cautiously optimistic until we're given sufficient reason to the contrary.

We've been waiting for T-Mobile USA to follow suit and raise standard text messaging rates from 10 cents to 15 cents each, and that wait is now over. Effective June 1, 2007, the fourth-largest mobile carrier in the U.S. will make that rate change for its wireless subscribers who want to use the "casual" text message (pay-per-use) instead of subscribing to a text messaging plan. With competitors AT&T, Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel having already made the rate increase, at least the last carrier has now fallen in line. The good news: like with the other carriers' changes, you might just be able to dump T-Mobile come June with no contract breach early-term fees since this is a material change to the contract of probably every current T-Mobile USA subscriber. But hey, the carrier's at least dropping that MMS rate from 25 cents to 15 cents on a pay-per-use basis. Joy.
