3g

Sidekick fans will be glad to see this. If this puicture is real, we see here the new T-mobile Sidekick LX 2009, which is yet to be announced officially. And if the information provided is correct, the device will feature:

• 3.2" WVGA display at 854 x 480 resolution;
• 3.2Mpix camera with autofocus, flash, and video recordin

We have already reported about Nokia N85 coming to the US some time ago. And now it has already appeared in Amazon store and available for purchase.

The only thing which makes us sad - the shipping time within 2 to 4 weeks.

Just to remind you, Nokia N85 features:

• 3G support
  
• a 5-megapixel camera;
  
• a 2.6-inch AMOLED QVGA display;
• GPS;
  
• Wi-Fi;
  
• OS S60.

Today FCC has approved the HTC "Jade", better known as the Touch 3G.

Unfortunately (but expected), the 7.2Mbps HSDPA won't be available to North American users. Instead they'll have to enjoy the crappy 2G WCDMA on the 900 and 2100MHz bands, which won't even allow for chatting and browsing at the same time.

Oh well, that's life, atleast it'll make it stateside.

The newly announced HTC Touch Viva (former Opal) and HTC Touch 3G look almost alike, but belong to different categories. The first is a low-end-to-mid-range handset, while the other is a high-end smartphone with support for several high-speed data networks.

HTC Touch Viva features:

• Stripped-down TouchFLO 3D interface;
• 256MB ROM;
• Integrated GPS;
• 2Mpix camera;
• Wi-Fi connectivity

HTC Touch 3G features include:

• GSM/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz & WCDMA / HSPA: 900/2100MHz.

T-Mobile's 3G AWS network has been launched today in Las Vegas, which became the second market after NYC to get it. The carrier also confirmed its plans on expanding the 3G network to at least 20 additional markets by the end of 2008.

Apart from that, they also announced the upcoming release of the the company's first HSDPA-capable phone.

No words here are necessary, the picture above says it all: "10.1.08 3G is Coming". For those unfamiliar, T-Mobile USA is ready to launch its 3G network in 27 U.S. markets on October 1. The list of cities is provided below:

Get ready to drool, iPhone fans. Some lucky person from Portugal has opened the box with the new iPhone 3G. We don't know how he/she got the device, but I guess we'll find it out soon enough... Just don't get too upset, as there are only three days left to go before the official release.

Update: BGR have also managed to get their hands on the highly anticipated handset.

Some sources report that starting October 1st T-Mobile USA will launch its yet limited 3G network nationwide, namely to its top 27 markets, including Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Miami, and others.

This information is not yet confirmed, so until we get some official proof of the abovementioned, it will remain a rumor.

Motorola has released the new Q9e phone in the U.S. - the same Q9 model, only without 3G and Wi-Fi.
