Acer has announced four absolutely new smartphones at the MWC and it plans to launch even more phones in the future. Not only that, but the company is ready to launch those already announced smartphones for free if the you’ll sign a contract with it.

AT&T and T-Mobile might be the carriers which Acer will partner up with. Therefore the carriers could offer Acer smartphones for free provided that their subscribers will sign up for a new agreement. The phones should arrive in Q4 2009 or early next year. We’re probably going to see Acer M900, Acer F900, Acer X960 and Acer DX900 running on Windows Mobile 6.1 and Acer C1, Acer F1, Acer E1 and Acer L1 running on Windows Mobile 6.5. We have no idea if Acer Android phones will also be included in the offer but we have plenty of time to find that out for you.

T-Mobile will bring a second Android phone to its subscribers later this year but is the HTC Magic we’ve seen over the pond at Vodafone’s going to be it? According to Google’s demo of Mobile Gmail in offline mode, the HTC Magic will wear the T-Mobile logo. If that’s what Google has shown us it must be close to real right?

The photo here is blurry but the T-Mobile logo is from the USA. It has one less dot left to the T than everywhere else in the world. There’s no good reason for T-Mobile not to launch the HTC Magic as the G2. Unless they have something even better up their sleeve.

The built-in 8-megapixel camera has a Xenon flash, 16x digital zoom and five shooting modes, including a feature that enables users to capture videos from their phone. Samsung’s new photo widget will enable customers to post images taken with the ‘Memoir’ directly to their favorite online photo-sharing sources.

“With the 8-megapixel Samsung Memoir, T-Mobile customers can capture and share little slices of life in all their vibrant brilliance,” said Denny Marie Post, Chief Marketing Officer, T-Mobile USA.

The RC33 firmware update for T-Mobile’s G1 has some surprises for us. One of them is the availability of Google Latitude, a program that will let you keep tabs on people’s location. There are plenty of applications ready to give you that kind of information, but with Google stepping up to the plate things might radically change. Everyone trusts Google to some extent. And since their service will become available on the G1 and probably on other future devices, you’ll always have a tool to help you locate friends and family.

T-Mobile recently announced a new plan to allow cell phone customers to purchase phones on a monthly installment plan, an attempt to work around crippling credit and cash flow conditions that have taken a big bite out of cell phone sales and service plans in recent months. According to T-Mobile spokeswoman Shelby Finn, “We have recently launched our Equipment Installment Plan, which enables qualified customers (current or new) to pay for handsets and accessories over four monthly installment payments.

This plan will provide more flexibility for customers when choosing a new handset.” Customers who take advantage of the plan will be charged no additional interest charges, no start-up fees, and no finance charges. T-Mobile announced the plan in addition to a decision to cancel its handset upgrade fees, as cell phone manufacturers and service providers all scramble to corner a rapidly disappearing market. T-Mobile hopes that the credit work-around will make it the provider of choice for customers who don’t want to give up their phones just because credit is very tight.

G1 users gather around. T-Mobile is going to release a new firmware update. Version 1.1 RC33 will arrive soon. Rumor has it that some people have already received the new firmware version yesterday, but there’s no specific released date for the RC33. The RC33 will bring various features to G1 owners. Besides fixing bugs and increasing system stability, it will also “include new system enhancements such as the ability to save pictures or files to file by long-pressing an item, check for system updates, and use the Google Voice Search feature.” There’s no trace of Cupcake in this build but don’t loose faith just yet! A future firmware might bring it over.

The Samsung t339 in jet black might be too boring for some, so why not change the color just a bit. T-Mobile will sell it to you in Charcoal immediately and you won’t have to pay a dime for it as long as you pick it up with a contract. I guess this is T-Mobile’s way of being romantic. Some companies go wild with pink and purple colors for Valentine’s; T-Mobile is choosing charcoal.

We’ve shown you that blurry picture of the LX 2009 which was filled with specs and pictures. Well we have a better quality picture showing the same features and pictures. The logical conclusion is that this LX 2009 is real and it’s coming. So is T-Mobile going to launch it soon? Will anyone else pick it up? Is it going to be called the Sidekick 2 or the Blade?

We know the G2 is coming from T-Mobile and we know it’s an Android phone. What we didn’t know yet was the fact that T-Mobile will launch a whole line of G phones this year. A G-series of Android smartphones is about to be born and T-Mobile is certainly going to profit off of it. Neville Ray, T-Mobile’s senior vice president of engineering and operations said in an interview:

As the year progresses there will be a significant number of HSPA-capable smart phones. We will be launching more G series phones and other products.

What more do you need? Well more details of course. When are we going to get them? Are they all going to be manufactured by HTC? Will T-Mobile improve its 3G network coverage?

Did you think that AT&T was simply going to stand by and watch every other carrier launch their femtocell hardware? Well of course not! AT&T has a 3G MicroCell device which might actually get launched sooner or later. That’s right folks, we have no arrival dates and pricing for this one, but AT&T seems ready to start selling it. The device comes from Cisco and it will get you 5,000 square miles of coverage and it will allow up to four simultaneous voice data connections. The only downside is that this device will work with 3G phones. But you were probably going to get a 3G device too, right. It looks like AT&T has the edge over its competition as Sprint and Samsung only offer 2G coverage.
