Nokia just announced  the Nokia 3710 fold, which is a compact clamshell, equipped with a 2.2-inch main display with QVGA resolution. Other features of this unpretentious device include 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash and microSD card slot and 1700/2100 3G bands?

Seams that Nokia and T-Mobile USA have a little surprise for us. The new Nokia 3710 will have 2 North America Version, one with 850,1900 bands , probably for AT&T and other with 1700/2100 exclusively used by T-Mobile USA.

There is not an official world from T-Mobile. We are still looking if the Nokia 3710 fold will come to us via T-Mobile.

More about Nokia 3710 fold:

The Nokia 3710 fold is also trying to be eco-friendly. It comes in a reduced-in-size box made of up to 60% recycled materials. Also, the device is up to 80% recyclable and will come in a variety of colors – pink, black or plum. The 3710 fold is a quad-band GSM, which is scheduled for a Q4 launch with both European and American 3G versions.

Apple finally plans to fix some big shortcomings that have troubled iPhone users since the device was released in June 2007. The company said today that it’s adding the ability to copy and paste, to send and receive the multimedia text messages known as MMS and to turn the iPhone sideways for typing in “landscape” mode on a wider on-screen keyboard mode.

In messages, when we turn the phone in landscape mode, the keyboard gets wider and it’s easier to type.

Another mayor improvement on messages is now you can delete one single message and not the whole conversation. Previously, if you wanted to keep just keeping one text message but not the whole conversation you could not. Now, when you press edit, you can choose which one to delete.

Also if you want to copy the message or forward it to another person, just press and hold the message you want to copy and the option “copy” will appear. The open any other application and paste it.

On Messages settings there is a option to enable subject on MMS .

In Yahoo mail, a new search bar has been added. This bar search any word in your yahoo mail, choosing from : From, To, Subject or just All.

Also i just noticed under conctacts, you can choose to see them on portrail or landscape. The ander recent calls, not it tells you more information about how many phone call has you made or recieved  and how long was each phone call.

Now you can send more than one picture at the time. Just go to any photo album, hit edit and choose as many pictures you want to send, hit copy. you can also choose share. The open Email  and press and hold inside the body of the email and hit paste. All the pictures you have been selected will show in your email ready to send them.

Stereo Bluetooth works great!! finally i can use my Dell Stereo Headsets. Just pair your stereo bluetooth as a regular handsfree, hit connect and you are ready to go. Open iPod applications an listen your favorite music without wires. I noticed i can’t skip a son using the headsets, I have to touch the froward key on the iPhone. Also, I believe i can’t talk during a phone call using the stereo headsets. So far if you have any information about if this applications works great during a phone call, let me know.

More information about the iPhone OS 3.0 will be posted soon. Remember, This June 17th is the official release of the iPhone 3.0 release.

From Engadget:

Smartphones

• The myTouch 3G (originally identified as the “myPhone” internally, so the name could be worse) is listed for 5/18 manufacturing approval and an 8/5 onsale date online and in stores. As we’ve said before, this feels late given the company’s recent comments about an “early summer” Android debut — we wouldn’t be surprised if it’s been tightened up for a quicker release.
• The Dash 3G — T-Mobile’s version of the Snap — is lined up for 7/1, but it’ll be shipped to retail partners (think Best Buy Mobile and the like) on 6/26.
• The Touch Pro2 should be launching in an exciting “mocha” tone (that’s the only color listed) on July 22. Notes on this one confirm that it’s codenamed Rhodium and is destined to replace the Wing.
• The BlackBerry Gemini is actually listed as the Gemini in here, so we don’t know if that’s a go-to-market name or if it’ll be the 8520 or something even wilder and more exotic, but at any rate, it’s listed here for June 22 manufacturing approval in two colors: black and frost. No release date is given.

Feature phones

• The Samsung t749 Highlight, previously known as the “Spark,” is a 3G device listed in T-Mobile’s style category that’ll be launching in exciting-sounding “fire” and “ice” colors on July 15. It looks like this one’s been delayed by several months, so we hope it’s been made orders of magnitude more awesome during the lull.
• The Samsung t559 Comeback — yes, Comeback — was codenamed “XO.” It’ll launch in frost / silver / cherry and pearl / white / plum with 3G and myFaves 2.0 (we’re not sure what’s new and improved in 2.0, unfortunately) on July 15.
• As you might’ve gathered from the name, the Samsung t469 Gravity 2 will be replacing the Gravity when it launches on August 5 with a QWERTY keyboard. It’ll be available in “berry mauve” and “metallic pumpkin,” and unlike the original, it’ll be 3G.
• The good ol’ Sammy t819 gets shown the door on September 2 as the t659 (codenamed “Scarlett”) comes in with 3G (notice a trend here?). Its launch was pushed back to accommodate the Gravity 2, which is understandably being considered a more important device for the back-to-school season.
• The Nokia 5130 XpressMusic will extend T-Mobile’s tradition of launching Nokia’s midrange music-centric sets, coming in black / red and pearl white / aqua at an undetermined date — right now, it’s scheduled to hit production on June 22.
• Huawei sets have yet to launch on any of the four national carriers, but one of the company’s models — codenamed “Volcano” — is scheduled for November 11.
• Sony Ericsson’s CS8 will bring 8.1 megapixel glory in a slider form factor when it finally rocks on August 20, which is quite a bit later than we’d hoped. Its little sister, the “Elle,” is scheduled to replace the TM506 flip on October 28.

PCs and data cards

• A Dell netbook of some sort will be shipping to retail partners on October 13, followed by direct company-owned store availability on November 11. It’s codenamed “Netbook,” which is officially the least-creative codename we’ve ever heard for any product. Ever. (And that’s saying something, considering that the Sony Ericsson CS8 is known internally as the “Peter.”) We don’t mean to start any wild rumors, but considering that Tegra netbooks should be hitting full force with carriers in their sights this October, it’s certainly lines up nicely, doesn’t it?
• The Huawei E1691 looks lined up to become T-Mobile’s second 3G data stick; it’s being called the “Laptop Stick Lite,” and pictures of the device definitely make it look a little sexier than the current webConnect. It looks lined up for November 17 in stores.

Why TM? well, it becuase it’s gonna come to T-Mobile and the TM717 is going to replace the TM506.

The New SonyEricsson TM717 will be launched by T-Mobile USA on October 28th.

The Sony Ericsson T707 truly interacts with the user – it lights up when you receive a call and you can personalise the light settings to each of your friends, so you always know who wants you. If you are too busy to answer, simply end the call with a wave of your hand over the screen – you can also do the same gesture to snooze the alarm – your very own magic wand!

The Sony Ericsson T707 is my ultimate new accessory,” said Maria. “I am always on the go and I need a phone that is easy to use, and of course chic as well! I never miss a call with the eye-catching light effects and personalised pulsation settings and I love the fact that I can just wave my hand to mute a call using the gesture control. I can also use my practical and stylish Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-PV715 to take my calls, check my emails and blog to my website from the phone. It’s great to have a phone that looks good but also lets me keep up-to-date with everything I need.

Training doesn’t finish until July 2nd in Baltimore/DC, in other words,  July 1st release date for the Dash 3G is  not going to happen. The rumored July 22nd launch for the Pro2 could be on the late side of things however.

Assuming that the East coast traning ends at the same with the rest of the country  we could see one or both of these handsets by mid to late June.
