Reportedly, the launch date has been pushed back due to the Gravity 2’s release, but a new one has not been announced.

T-Mobile and Samsung have announced today two new handsets, called Comeback and Gravity.

The Samsung Comeback is a messaging phone that has two displays, numeric keypad, and a sliding full QWERTY keyboard. It will be available in T-Mobile stores starting July 22 for $130 after rebate with a two-year contract.

The Samsung Gravity 2 comes with a numeric keypad on the front and is a sideways slider that also has a full QWERTY keyboard.

T-Mobile has announced the release date for the upcoming BlackBerry Gemini, also known as the Curve 8520. The handset will be available August 5th, and will be the first handset in the Curve family to have a touch-sensitive trackpad instead of the usual trackball. Other than that, the specs aren’t very impressive: there's no flash on the camera, the screen resolution is the same as of the original Curve, plus of all data networks only EDGE is supported.

Just to let you know, T-Mobile has issued a minor OTA firmware update (Android 1.5 build CRC1) for its G1 handset. According to the official description it includes "permissions fixes and other bug fixes". That's all there is to it.

It looks like T-Mobile G2 Touch (aka HTC Hero) won't be arriving in Germany in July, as originally announced. The release date was pushed back till August, and apparently the UK launch will also be delayed. But who cares, a couple of weeks of wait won't kill anyone, and the phone will still be selling like hot cakes. I mean - Sense UI, excellent on-screen keyboard, Android 1.

This is the the Samsung Comeback T559, a new entry-level clamshell for T-Mobile. It's definitely not a looker, and lacks many of the necessary features, but it's good enough if we consider it's pricing that was revealed today. The phone wil be available for $129.99 after $50 mail-in rebate with a 2-year contract and a Data or Messaging Bundle. 1-year contract price is set at $179.
