T-mobile has 16 phones slated for release, between June 16th, and August 1st. The document from which we snatched this data is indeed internal T-mobile, however usually it is more of a good guess of what will happen, rather than an set-in-stone depiction of upcoming launches. Here are a few of the upcoming devices we know of:
- 1. Nokia 5310
- 2. Nokia 5610
- 3. Shadow II
- 4. Nokia 2760
- 5. Nokia 1208
- 6. Nokia 6301
- 7. Shadow III (Damn, did we say that?!)
- 8. Samsung T339
- 9. Samsung T229
- 10. Blackberry Bold
- 11. Blackberry KickStart
- 12. Motorola W450
- 13. Motorola Rokr E8
That leaves three unknown releases, given that all the listed devices will in fact launch in the next two months, which we highly doubt.

T-Mobile today officially introduced its anticipated third-generation (3G) cellular service.The network is now live in New York City and significantly improves both call quality and data access versus the current 2G network. Like other 3G services, T-Mobile’s is seamless and allows supporting phones to automatically switch to 3G when they come within range.
While not naming the devices, T-Mobile confirms that several 3G-capable phones are already in use on its network, which include the Nokia 6263 and the Samsung t639.
The addition of 3G heats up competition between cellular providers in the US, with T-Mobile being the last of the top five to add the faster technology and the only other major GSM operator after AT&T to offer the format. The US carrier is using the relatively uncommon 1,700MHz Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) spectrum, however, and so will need different devices than those offered by its rival to enable full 3G access. No phone makers have yet announced a multi-band 3G phone that supports both providers.
