This is new and good stuff. We know that T-Mobile is planing to launch the new Nokia N900. However, remember about another rumor Nokia phone coming to T-Mobile?.  That was the first time we talked about the Project Dark/Black. Everything indicates that it might be true.

Today FCC just passed a new 3G Nokia phone. This new phone apparently looks like the Nokia 5230, but this version contains AWS 3G bands. Only used by T-Mobile, for now.How do we know about this is the 5230? Running a search about what kind of battery it uses, BL-5J, ONLY used by the 5800, 5230, N900 and X6. Additionally, matching the label localization drawing, it matches only with the Nokia 5230.

This is just rumors about a new Nokia 3G phone coming to T-Mobile line up.

Continuing its 3G expantion coverage, T-Mobile will launch soon a second USB stick, the webConnect Jet.

Now a new model its coming and for sure, it will be available for T-Mobile USA, the Huawei UMG 1691.

The new webConnect Jet will support quad band GSM/EDGE and Dual band UMTS/HSDPA 1700/2100 used by T-Mobile USA.

Boy oh boy do we love the FCC. Just today we are seeing 3 new handsets, all heading to T-Mobile USA, pass through the FCC filters. First up: Nokia 3710. The specs on the Nokia 3710 flip phone will include:

  • QVGA internal display
  • S40 UI
  • GPS
  • 3.2 megapixel camera
  • Bluetooth
  • T-Mobile 3G

What is next? Looks like another Nokia, this time the RX511. Specs on this device will include

  • Flip phone

That’s all we know. Really.

Last but most definitely not least, we have the Motorola Morrison, our newest Android Handset and Motorola’s first. We are very excited for this device to hit T-Mobile’s shelves in the coming weeks (being optimistic again). Codenamed the T56KV1 by Motorola and the FCC, some tech-detectives figured out that this device does indeed have the same model number as the Morrison. Stay tuned as we dig for release dates on this great devices!

We know already that Huawei is ready to launch its new Android device exclusively for T-Mobile, at least in Europe, the new T-Mobile Pulse.

The new T-Mobile Pulse (U8220) or just Pulse is the new and first Android phone from Huawei. We told you about this phone here and here. Rumors about the Pulse coming to T-Mobile USA are still not clear but we know that it will come to T-Mobile in Europe.

The new T-Mobile Pulse will feature:

Android OS

900, 1800 and 1900 GSM/EDGE/GPRS

HSPA/UMTS Band I (2100) and Band VIII (850)

WiFi

Bluetooth 2.0

Dimensions : 116mm (L), 62.8 mm (W) x 13.0 mm (H)

Weight 140 gr with battery.

Battery 1500 mAh.

There is not specification about this device will support Band IV (1700/2100) used by T-Mobile USA. Perhaps, TMO USA will get the EDGE version.

Stay tuned for more information.

Most new groundbreaking devices follow a similar path; first being vaguely mentioned and rumored with a codename and maybe some specs. Then we will see a very un-descriptive device pass through the FCC with just enough information to get us excited. Then the leaked images and specs flow forth until pricing hits the front page of blogs and shortly after we see said devices on store shelves across the U.S.

Back in May, MobileCrunch ran an exclusive on a possible upcoming Nokia Tablet device. Major points from that article included:

  • Nokia is being ridiculously secretive about this device and we can’t provide all that much information, but we have made a sketch of pictures we have seen:
  • 3,5″ Touchscreen device
  • Slideout QWERTY Keyboard
  • Wide device
  • Will run Maemo
  • Codenames are N900, Rover, or Maemo Flagship
  • T-Mobile 3G AWS bands (1700/2100)
  • Coming to T-Mobile USA in August/September
  • For more specs, scroll to the end of this article!

As more specs are revealed, we begin to see a better and better picture of the so-called “Rover,” until earlier today, the FCC approves Nokia’s newest Internet tablet for sales in the United States. We think the device that MobileCrunch featured, and the one that passed through the FCC are one and the same because:

  • Instead of Nokia’s usual “RM555″ where 555 = the model number, the devices is named with a “RX….) meaning that it will not be a regular Nokia mobile phone
  • The FCC scetch you saw at the top of the page shows a extra wide device, the same shape and size we expect to be heading to T-Mobile
  • Both the MobileCrunch version, and FCC version have T-Mobile’s 3G AWS bands, meaning that it will pick up T-mobile USA’s 3G network, a network that only T-Mobile uses in the United States (out of national carriers)

After the FCC, the pictures begin to come…Thanks to Speedy over at Engadget, we see the following shots of T-Mobile’s upcoming Internet Tablet

As the release date approaches, you can expect to see speculation of the release date, price, data plans, advertising, and more. There you have it! The life of a new, groundbreaking upcoming device. Of course we can’t confirm that this device is heading to T-Mobile USA’s shelves, but with an overwhelming amount of evidence and confidence, we can say that T-Mobile will be getting this pretty little Internet tablet in the coming 2-3 months. Stay tuned as we reveal more information about T-Mobile’s upcoming devices. Oh, and don’t forget to check back tomorrow for CellPhoneSignal’s big Google Voice Contest!

If you’re not drooling yet, you should probably get your salivary glands checked. If you are, you’re probably getting curious about availability. Don’t worry, we’ve got details on that, too.

This documents all specifically and repeatedly mention “TMO” launch targets. We’ve never seen this stand for anything besides T-Mobile in this context, and everything still makes perfect sense after swapping out every instance of “TMO” for “T-Mobile”. As such, we assume that is what they mean.

Target launch dates, as of the beginning of this year:

  • T-Mobile International: July 2009
  • T-Mobile USA: August/September 2009
  • Middle East, Asia, South-East Asian Pacific: July 2009
  • Europe: October 2009
