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.

Motorola has added three new handsets to its ROKR music-centric line-up, the EM30 candybar (in pic), EM28 flip, and EM25 slider. The E30 model carries over the E8's design style, but offers a regular d-pad for navigation instead of the touch-sensitive wheel. Other two have the similar design, only in different form factors.

As expected, T-Mobile USA has released the BlackBerry Curve in Sunset color.

Specifications and pricing did not change.

The device is available now in selected stores and online for $149.99 with a 2-year agreement.

 

T-Mobile has announced its latest Sidekick phone today.

The 2008 model is a bit a smaller than the previous ones, but the design remained pretty much the same. In addition, the Sidekick 2008 offers interchangeable shells, which can also be customized directly on the carrier's website ($15).

Sidekick 2008 features:

• Quad-band GSM/EDGE;
• 2.

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:

• New York City
• Austin
• NJ and Long Island
• Las Vagas
• Minneapolis
• Miami
• Dallas

Reportedly, T-Mobile will start offering a customly painted Blackberry Curve within a week. It will come in sunset color, but won't feature any hardware or software updates. As usual in such cases...

With the Blackberry Bold making its way to the forthcoming release, we don't think this one will gain much popularity. Still, if you like it, don't forget to visit T-Mobile's website on August 4th.

The new Motorola ZN5 will apparently be released on T-Mobile U.S. in the Q4 2008 among other notable handsets, such as BlackBerry Boldand Kickstart, HTC Dream, Shadow II and III, and Sony Ericsson TM506.

 

Pricing and the exact release date are currently unknown.

Some of the phone's features include:

• 5Mpix Kodak camera with Xenon flash and AF;
• Quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and EDGE;
• 2.

T-Mobile Germany has added the BlackBerry Bold on its website. The handset costs $348 (219.95 EUR) along with the 2-year Max S plan for $39.5 (24.95 EUR) a month. We expect roughly the same pricing in T-Mobile U.S. stores when the phone is released.

The German release date is rumored to be July 21st, but it is subject to change.
