That’s what I dont understand. I live in NC, we dont even have 3G service yet. But the Gravity 2 looks like it should be the Rant 2 haha. The touchscreen phone could go as the Behold 2. The last phone looks like it could be called something like the Samsung Distinct haha…idk

I hope that keyboard is easy to use on the last phone. I cant wait to test it out because I’m really considering on snatching one up. Its hard to hide a Sidekick LX in class haha, I need something smaller.

@ DigDug

if you want lots of T-Mobile info, then visit TMoToday.com, TmoNews.com and CellPhoneSignal.com.

i dont really blame you for not having the latest T-Mobile news if you just visit BGR because, with all do respect, they love At&t.

Now, as a blogger over at TMoToday, I can tell you there are rumors of the Nokia XpressMusic 5730 coming to T-Mobile, which is basically exactly like the E75 with more multimedia options. It still runs S60. That’s one rumored smartphone.

Also coming are a like 5 Android devices. As far as I can recall, Android is a smartphone OS. And if that doesn’t do it for you and you need more “business”, the Windows Mobile is the best bet. If that doesn’t do it for you then go to the iPhone and take 3 hours to type a 2 paragraph e-mail message.

I saw these phones and I believe all of them will sell extremely well, especially the clamshell and the touch screen.

@Jeremiah, in that last commercial did you note that the three kids who were calling their faves and texting were each teeny-boppers? Contrast this with the ATT, VZ commercials which more often emphasize network, smart phones, and business functionality.

I havent seen the old couple one yet.

I really like TMO as a company (customer service, etc.). But their business-oriented handset selection is severeley lacking – dont even have a 3G BB as I recall. Hey they are making a killing on teens (sidekick, etc.) nothing wrong with that as a business strategy/focus, just doesnt help me as a customer. I also work in a part of manahattan that has little to no TMO service, so I’m changing providers so I can at least use my personal phone during the work day.

@DigDug: The last two T-mobile commercials I remember are an old couple taking about changing carriers and a 50 year old guy talking to his kids about his internet dating. Nothing about that screams female teeny bopper to me.

@Jeremiah, just my observation of their handsets the last 12 months or so, and their commercials which almost always these days feature the female teeny bopper niche.

I’m not a TMO hater, have been a customer since day 1 of TMO USA; likely moving to iPhone2009 or Pre though since I want a 3G smart phone that isn’t running Windows 95 (er, Winmo 6.1).

I love the ( if I were running the company; this is what I would do )

Give some credit to Pink.. If you don’t like it there are other offerings.

I like t-mobile they are the underdog…and their customer service is the best!

Break/Lose your iphone and see how concerned at&t is with keeping you as a customer.

the one with the colored rings, copied the metallic trim of the LG Rumor2 at Sprint, as well as the overall ovoid shape and even the number pad buttons.

Obviously these were never meant to be High end, they’re right where they should be Middle to Low end. SO yeah they’re not TRYING to be High End Phones so they’re just fine for what they are.

If you want High End then Get the Touch Pro2 Coming to T-Mobile USA FIRST! HA HATERS!!!

Smooches Crotches Betches!

@DigDug – Was that actually a confirmed marketing target or is that just an “educated” conjecture?

By: DigDug

@Jeremiah, I agree, but remember it has been quite clear over the last year +/- that TMO USA is primarily focussing on/targeting the (female) teeny-bopper – to – 20yo market, and these designs/colors clearly underscore that goal.

Looks like T-Mobile has a bit of Verizon EnV doesn’t it?

While I’m sure they’re all capable phones, I can’t help but think that they all look like toys–either Fisher Price or Transformers ones…maybe Power Rangers or something.
