Today Nokia unveiled its two new handsets for two European carriers, the 6650 model for T-Mobile and the 6124 Classic for Vodafone.

• The first is a 3G HSDPA, GPS-capable flip phone with a 2.2" TFT QVGA 16M color display, 2Mpix camera, microSD slot, FM radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and support for the carrier's plans and services.

The new low-end Nokia 3555 clamshell, recently approved by the FCC, will be available from T-Mobile on March 17.

The phone features 3G support, stereo Bluetooth, speakerphone, VGA camera, microSD memory slot, and support for T-Mobile's myFaves service.

Expect a very low price.

T-Mobile decided to extend its HotSpot@Home service from mobile handsets only to landline phones as well.

It is called Talk Forever and allows for unlimited domestic landline calling. In order to use the service, a new Hotspot@Home router is required, plus additional $10/month will be added to your T-Mobile account.

Starting tomorrow T-Mobile will be offering a new unlimited calling and messaging plan for $99 a month.

This plan includes unlimited local calls, free long distance calls, as well as free SMS, MMS and IM messaging.

It will be available for both new and existing subscribers.

According to T-Mobile CEO Hamid Akhavan, the company will soon start selling the iconic iPhone in Austria, namely by mid-2008.

He also stated that T-Mobile plans to release a Google Android-based smartphone in Q4 2008.

T-Mobile will no longer provide access to Wi-Fi service in Starbucks coffee houses and stores across the country.

Starting this spring Starbucks will offer its customers 2 hours of free Wi-Fi access provided by AT&T.

Additional 2 hours will cost $3.

Apparently, T-Mobile version of the BlackBerry 8820 smartphone will be available on March 5th.

It should be the same as the AT&T version, but will additionally support T-Mobile’s Hotspot@Home service.

Pricing details are unknown for now.
