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.
