Tri-Band?? Boo!! If t-mobile is going to bring back S.E. Why won’t they release a ‘decent’ phone.

I guess I’ll keep buying unlocked S.E. Phones for t-mobile =/

The w980 would’ve been a much better model to start with…

Looks like a modified Z780. I wish they had kept it quad-band w/ GPS. Bummer.

High-end flip phone? If it’s not too big, this might be the phone I’ve been waiting for. I like my current flip but need to upgrade.

Why is this a surprise?? 900 is useless for T-Mobile in the US as it is a Euro frequency so they just want to cover their bases in the US (1900/850 GSM)

I have 1 the call and speaker quality on this device is pretty low for you to hear I hope they resolves this problem before realeasing this beauty.

The the faster data speed is dependant on where you are.. It is faster in manhattan than anywhere else in new york city

Somehow I doubt this will be available unlocked.

Any word yet on pricing with a voice plan?

The first HSDPA phone, not the first UMTS phone. Subtle, but important difference.

Surprised they would have 850 over 900 on this phone.

Hi,

I’ve tried reaching you via email but I haven’t received a reply. Perhaps I ended up in your spam filter. Anyway… I work with a client who would like some exposure on your site. Preferably in connection to when you do a review/post about a product.

My client works with tech gadget reviews and they would blend in great with your site. If you are interested I can explain a bit further about what I have in mind.

Regards,
Will

This is a decent start….But T-Mobile is playing catch up…..So bring on the the 3g winmob or android joint then we can talk about me spending some dough.
