CONFIRMATION of Curve in September

[darkjedi]

I was just on a conference call discussing troubles with our systems and hotspot and I have confirmation of the 8320 in September. Pricing was not discussed but this phone WILL be hotspot @ home compatible.

11 handsets are being released between now and Thanksgiving by Samsung, no models were discussed but some will be compatible with hotspot.

Also as as of yet unannounced Nokia will be coming out next month with another Samsung launch for hotspot services.

Edit: Next month is the Nokia 6136 and the Samsung 704 national launch.

I have my "source" tracking down info on the Curve pricing but I don't expect he'll find anything for sometime.

Maybe once they get some more phones, they will actively start pushing the @Home service.

The Nokia 6136 is the phone T-Mobile is giving free to out hotspot at home test markets. It's been a little over 3 months now and overall have heard positive feedback on it's use.

Well thats positive news but I'm still going to dig deeper and see what other Samsung models are coming out. I know they were shown at a managers meeting last month but I want to know the exact models.

this is way off of this thread but the samsungs that ive handled are not for @home, those include the t419, t539, t639, t649, and t729.

Any of them include a T-Mobile 3G radio?

Also, someone posted a picture of the T-Mobile 8320s screen:

The conference call today stated that some would be for @ home but didn't specify which ones or how many other than the 704 scheduled for next month.

I heard that the T539 was a 3G phone awhile ago, but no updates?

I remember it's T529, and it's cancelled (3G ver of T509)
