The new Nokia Xpress Music 5610 with T-Mobile branding has been spotted recently in the Web.

This is definitely good news for Nokia fans anxious to get their hands on this 9.5mm thick music-centric cell phone.

Currently we don't know how much it will cost and where it will be available, but we expect to see features like 3.2Mpix camera, microSD card slot, and enhanced multimedia functionality.

T-Mobile started selling the 3G-capable Nokia 3555.

The phone supports quad-band GSM/EDGE and AWS 1700MHz WCDMA 3G networks, and features stereo Bluetooth, microSD slot, music player, and VGA camera. T-Mobile's 3G network is not available yet, but will be launched NYC (first) in the coming months.

The Nokia 3555 is priced at $50 after rebates and new activation.

As expected, Apple iPhone became available in Austria through T-Mobile. The carrier offers 8GB and 16GB versions priced at 399 EUR and 499 EUR respectively.

There are also two calling plans available, including:

• Classic (39 EUR) - 1,000 voice minutes, $0.25 SMS messages, 3GB of data and visual voicemail support;
• Supreme (55 EUR) - 1,000 voice minutes, 1,000 SMS messages, 3GB of data and visual voicemail support.

Intellect Wireless has sued Helio, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and Virgin Mobile for patent infringement.

According to Intellect all four companies are violating its patents regarding image messaging. All patents belong to the company's founder Daniel Henderson, and are titled Picture Phone with Caller ID, and Method and Apparatus for Improved Paging Receiver and System.

As we informed you a couple of days ago, Nokia launched the new Nokia 6650 for T-Mobile at CeBIT 2008 show.

Now we have more details about this model to share with you.

Nokia 6650 is a multimedia clamshell with a 2.2" TFT QVGA display, HSDPA connectivity, 2Mpix camera, built-in A-GPS, 30MB of on-board memory, music player with FM radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and a microSD card slot.

According to reports, T-Mobile, a major European and U.S. cellular operator, plans to expand its business to Canada.

So all is cool, right? Not quite...

In Canada exists a law that doesn't allow foreign telecom companies to run their business in the country. However, we expect the situation to change to the best as Canadian users really need a new carrier ready to offer cheaper data packages.

T-Mobile Germany recently announced the MDA compact IV Windows Mobile smartphone at the CeBIT 2008.

This is a new HTC-made handset running Windows Mobile 6.1 platform, and featuring HSDPA support, 3Mpix AF camera, 4GB of on-board memory, VGA (640×480) touchscreen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity.

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.
