Only the Blast and the t639 are the main ones, since the rest are already for sale.
I might pick up the T639 just to mess with it, to see if I can pick up T-Mobile's 3G network. I wonder if T-Mobile disabled that 3G menu.

I don't think T-Mobile is stupid like that
3G will be intact for a sign, like nokia 3220 2 years ago before introduction of EDGE

Hey, you never know. It would be good to see what happens. When will it go on sale?

[greenblood]

somebody on phonescoop said it's August
I have to see the price first, hope it's no more than $249 (no contract)
used ONLY for detecting 3G, will be tethered
if slingplayer shows any value more than 250kbps, I get 3G

[terryjohnson16]

T-Mobile is really tight lipped about when and where 3G will be turned on.

the t639 was originally supposed to come out in may/june with edge but for some reason tmo sent it back to samsung to have the 3G radio added. so its anyone's guess when it'll come out but i wouldnt expect it to be anytime soon.

I want to try that phone out, to see if it can pick up T-Mobile 3G before they launch it.

I may pick T639 with "raw" price, but I have to find the manual first to make sure 3G exists
