Exclusive T-Mobile Roadmap: Five More Handsets Before July

You didn’t think our ninjas were done for the day, did you? Maybe you saw the recent news that T-Mobile has announced the launch of the Nokia XpressMusic 5310 handset and you thought to yourself, “wow that thing is pretty hot and I need a new phone but I wonder if there’s anything coming out soon that I’d like better?” Well stop wondering, that’s what BGR is here for. We’ve got the exclusive on five more handsets that will all be in stores by the end of June. The rundown:

  • Nokia 2760 - Available June 16: Smooth low end clamshell with all the basics
  • Nokia XpressMusic 5610 - Available TBD (we heard June): Estranged brother of the 5310; Slider, 3.2 megapixel camera, A2DP stereo bluetooth, external music player controls, microSDHC support and plenty more
  • Nokia 6301 - Available June 23: Sleek and elegant candy bar with WiFi, 2 megapixel camera, A2DP stereo bluetooth and all the rest S40 has to offer
  • Samsung t229 - Available June: Bright red low end clamshell with a 4x zoom camera and the basics
  • Samsung t339 - Available June 23: Sexier slimmed down burgundy clamshell with WiFi, 1.3 megapixel camera, A2DP stereo bluetooth and more

So now you know; and knowing is half the battle. What do we think? Not bad at all, T-Mobile. Hit the jump for exclusive internal info sheets on each handset.

    the 5610 and 6301 look good

    we’ll have to wait and see if the UI is quick and make sure T-Mo hasn’t locked everything down

    Nice to see a phone can be its own “estranged brother.”

    How are these exclusive? They’ve been on cellpointsignal.com for months. WTF, BGR? Y’all is smelling desperate lately, losing your game and acting like chumps with non-exclusive exclusives.

    If the 5610 came out in blue I would be all over that like stink on rice. I’ll have to see it in person to see if the red is workable. Otherwise it looks like an awesome phone - good size, well-reviewed, looks pretty capable considering. I really don’t dig the red though…

    The title of reads T-Mobile exclusives. No boy genius reports exclusives.

    Translates to being phones only T-Mobile has, not that you can only get this info off this site.

    Don’t pick on them for putting up info about phones, do if for putting up pictures of wrist watches, hehe.

    So are they just pushing out all of their bargain bin phones before July? C’mon T-Mobile! I’m begging you to change it up.

    Sam. O

    Actually, the title makes it sound like it’s a BGR exclusive. As does this line from the post:

    “We’ve got the exclusive on five more handsets that will all be in stores by the end of June.”

    That’s pretty clear. And wrong. BGR FTL!!! PWND by cellpointsignal and tmonews.

    But this cracked me up: “Don’t pick on them for putting up info about phones, do if for putting up pictures of wrist watches, hehe.”

    And you’re right, who cares who posts the info, as long as we get the info!

    Sign me up for the 6301, assuming the thing runs s60, it may not be as much of a dumbphone as it looks.

    So the difference between the 5610 and 5310 is one has a 3.2 camera, and one with a 2.0? Cuz the one on Tmobile.com and this one on here, look 100% identical.?
