A live shot of the upcoming T-Mobile-branded BlackBerry 8520 was posed at the Crackberry forum a couple of days ago. The poster didn't mention anything regarding pricing, and if the previous rumors are true, we can expect it to be released sometime during Q4 2009.

With the upcoming release of the MyTouch 3G (Magic), T-Mobile has decided to drop the price for its popular G1. The smartphone is available now for $149.99 with a 2-year contract. So if you need an Android 1.5 based handset with a QWERTY keyboard, this sounds like a good deal.

Android fans who didn't manage to get the Google Ion (a.k.a. HTC Magic) will be happy to know that the said handset will also be available from T-Mobile sometime this summer as the myTouch 3G. According to the Wall Street Journal, the details on that matter will be announced next week.

According to this T-Mobile product sheet posted by BGR, the company's HTC Dash 3G will be launching in all channels on July 15th. Unfortunately there is no photo or pricing on here, but we're positive it will be available on a 2-year contract.

Specifications:

• Windows Mobile 6.1;
• T-Mobile AWS 3G;
• 2Mpix camera;

TmoNews has recently posted a leaked promo picture of HTC's Touch Pro2 and Dash 3G Windows Mobile smartphones that are coming to the carrier officially. The Touch Pro2 from T-Mobile is expected to hit the stores on July 22, while the Dash 3G should be available starting July 1.

The handset on the picture above is apparently the T-Mobile's Android-based Samsung Bigfoot, that is if Boy Genius Report got that right. The device doesn't look like the Bigfoot we've seen previously, so it's probably a newer version. It will soon be available to T-Mobile customers, so if you were planning on getting a G1, you might want to reconsider.
