Meet the successor to the Shadow cell phone from T-Mobile, the Shadow II.

We can't tell much about it as it's just a single photo. But as far as we can see, the handset comes in a shiny body with rounded edges and apparently has a slide out keypad, maybe QWERTY, who knows...

Stay tuned.

FCC has unveiled a new mid-range Wi-Fi enabled clamshell from Samsung called t339. It will soon be available from T-Mobile and even supports the carrier's HotSpot@Home service. Wow...

Apart from the above mentioned, this is a mediocre phone with medium specs and an ugly design, but you choose whether to buy it or not.

The release date wasn't announced yet.

According to BGR, the Motorola Sidekick Slide will still be available from T-Mobile, and in a new color.

The launch should take place in late May or early June. The device will come in a nice shade of red with the same black shell as the original. So if you didn't like the purple keyboard, now you have an alternative.

Just one thing bothers me -

T-Mobile Germany has reduced the price for the 8GB iPhone.

The handset now costs just 99 euro or about $155 with a 2 year service agreement, which includes the new Complete XL calling plan (1000 minutes, 300 SMS and unlimited data).

T-Mobile has just released the Wi-Fi-enabled RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120, compatible with T-Mobile's Hotspot @Home service.

For those unfamiliar, here are some of its key features:

• Wi-Fi support for both voice and data;
• Updated visual interface with new font rendering technology and graphic enhancements;
• Advanced media player with full-screen video playback, stereo Bluetooth support and 3.

T-Mobile unveiled two new entry-level cell phones from Samsung, the SGH-T229 and SGH-T339 models.

Both have a clamshell form factor, nice look, and (as we may guess) have basic specifications, though none of them were announced.

Stay tuned for more details.

T-Mobile announced the availability of the new BlackBerry 8820 for its HotSpot@Home service line-up.

The smartphone is Wi-Fi- and GPS-capable, and takes advantage of Blackberry Maps, as well as TeleNav and myFaves services.

This model lacks the camera, which could mean that 8820 is a business device. Other features include microSD slot supporting up to 4GB, Bluetooth, voice dialing and many more.

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.
