If you think that some fees charge by carriers around the world are simply outrageous then get ready for this! T-Mobile has a new fee for you. In case you want to keep receiving those paper bills at home then you’ll have to pay an extra $1.50. By September 12 you will have to decide if you’re ready to go paperless or not. In case you will not choose T-Mobile’s online billing then you’ll have to pay that extra $1.50. What do you say T-Mobile customers? Are you angry with your favorite carrier?

The FCC has recently approved a Nokia tablet, the RX-51 which is seems to be headed to T-Mobile. Following up on our yesterday’s story we have live shots of said Nokia tablet. Are we looking at the Maemo-powered Rover tablet we heard about earlier this year? We probably are, and here’s what this Rover will have to offer:

• Quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE, tri-band WCDMA (850/1700/2100)
• Bluetooth + EDR
• Wi-Fi
• FM Transmitter
• Slide-out QWERTY keypad
• Nokia BL-5J 1320 mAh battery
• 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens

So what about some pricing details and launch details?

Since we keep talking about tablets these days, let’s shift our attention to a new tablet-like device spotted at the FCC. This one is made by Nokia and it’s headed to the USA via T-Mobile. The FCC gave its thumb up on a Nokia RX-51 device which is not a phone. The documentation reveals AWS 3G support which is a clear indication that T-Mobile USA is the carrier that’s going to launch it. Nokia hasn’t launched the device just yet so we’ll have plenty of time for more speculation in the following weeks. What do you think this device is all about?

Last time we talked about T-Mobile’s upcoming HTC Touch Pro2 we had no idea how much the phone will cost. And T-Mobile is still not saying anything about price tags. But with a few days to go until the phone will find its way into stores, new images of the handset and a few pricing details have leaked to the public. It looks like the HTC Touch Pro2 will be available for $299 with a new 2-year plan while those of you not interested in new contracts will have to pay $599 for the phone.

What do you say? Are you going to get your HTC Touch Pro2 next week from T-Mobile or you’re ready to wait until everyone else launches their version?

Today we have yet another FCC filing that gives us a bit of information on an unannounced device. This time? The Nokia RX-51.

According to the filing, the above pictured device if headed for T-Mobile and will feature 3G connectivity. Now, if you’ve been following Nokia FCC filings you’ll know that they usually brand their phones with RM, but in this case we have an RX branding. What could this mean?

Our best guess could only point towards a high-end cellphone but we’ll keep you posted as Nokia speaks of this RX-51.

Everybody who’s anybody is developing an App Store of their own. Besides Apple we have RIM, Nokia, T-Mobile, Microsoft, Verizon and Google are or will be ready to offer you a large selection of downloadable content from various application stores.

So what is Samsung doing? Well it looks like Samsung is too very interested in having an app store of its own. The manufacturer is trying out a store in the UK. In the said store you’ll find full length movies and an Application Seller Site portal. The portal will allow Symbian and Windows Mobile developers to sell their apps to Samsung customers. The portal will be open in the following weeks as Samsung will launch the Samsung Application Store in Europe this September. Other markets should also get access to the store but that’s also to be announced.

In case you’re a developer then you should sign up for the new site portal for just $1. After that you’ll be able to start selling apps soon. Now that Samsung has entered this app store frenzy we can’t but wonder who’s next. Any hints?

I shouldn’t do too much explaining but just in case you didn’t get it the first time I will. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 aka the Gemini is now available from Amazon for just 1 cent. That’s right, you can get the Gemini for $0.01 which means you save $298.98. So don’t even think about paying $130 or $49 for this totally new RIM phone. Amazon will deliver it straight to your door for 1 cent. Unfortunately the new contract is still mandatory!

Besides that new BlackBerry Gemini that’s now available, T-Mobile has another hot phone waiting for you in its stores. The myTouch 3G is going to cost you $199.99 with a new 2-year agreement, but it’s definitely an Android device worth considering as you’re next smartphone. The phone is also available online and in partner locations.

And if you happen to live around San Francisco then you should check out the skydiving show that’s going to take place at noon in honor of T-Mobile’s myTouch3G launch. What do you say, ready to get it? Or are you waiting for Sprint’s HTC Hero?

The day has finally come folks! T-Mobile has the Gemini ready for you for just $129.99. As you can see, the suggested retail price is $299.99 so you save instantly $170. The question is, wouldn’t you rather pay $49 for the same Curve 8520 sold now at Walmart? No matter where you purchase your Curve 8520, you’ll still have to get a T-Mobile contract. And since we’re talking about an entry-level Berry here, you might just be better off paying what Walmart is asking for it. What do you think?

We know you are all gaga over the Motorola Shules that surfaced recently, but let’s not forget that other Android smartphone from the same company we spotted earlier, shall we?  Blessed by the FCC recently, it seems that Motorola Morrison has now made its way onto T-Mobile’s Customer Service System.  The rumor mill doesn’t stop there, but turns on to further say that the smartphone will also grope its way onto T-Mobile shelves by October 21.  A bit distant if you ask us, with the Diamond2 already casting its allure on us, but better late than never, we say.  So, what will it be folks? The Shules on Verizon or the Morrison on T-Mobile?

This is the true story of how T-Mobile UK has been able to sell iPhone 3G units despite the official Apple partner in the UK is O2. And O2 exclusivity deal will expire in September if not later.

T-Mobile has been offering iPhone 3G units to its most exclusive clientele. The company apparently has been selling up to 150 phones a week to those customers that have contracts of at least £75 per month. T-Mobile is basically a reseller that offers SIM-free iPhones as an incentive method for its high-roller customers. That means T-Mobile UK isn’t doing anything illegal. Immoral, sure, but we’re living some rough economic times.

When will T-Mobile start selling that hot new iPhone 3GS? Maybe sometime in October?

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is now available online too from T-Mobile. RIM’s latest phone will be “coming soon”. You’ll be able to order your Gemini starting with August 5 but there are no prices available yet. Will it have anything to do with that $48.88 Walmart price we’ve seen earlier? With such a price tag it’s almost impossible not to bump into the new Curve in a Walmart store and decide to pick one up. However, if most of your handset shopping is done online then check T-Mobile website in about two days to see how much T-Mobile is going to ask for a brand new BlackBerry Curve 8520.

We’ve been hearing about the fabled Motorola Morrison for some time now but without any official word we were left in the dark in terms of a price point and release date.

Luckily, thanks to the FCC, we now know that the phone is at least a bit closer to hitting North American carriers. Other than a few basic specs, make note that T-Mobile’s 3G bands are prominently displayed in the above screen capture. Our source also confirms that the handset will be running Android and have WiFi.

A coincidence? Probably not, expect this phone on T-Mobile, at some point in the near future.

Yesterday we let you know that T-Mobile was gearing up to launch the Windows Mobile 6.1 touting HTC TouchPro 2 on August 12th.

Well today the carrier has sent out a press release confirming the fact along with letting us in on some specs. The HTC TouchPro 2 will feature a 3.2MP camera, 3G, GPS, a 3.6-inch touchscreen display and WiFi. Color wise we are currently only looking at Mocha with additional colors presumably being released once the phone is considered a success.

Unfortunately, the press release said nothing of a price so you’ll have to sit tight T-Mobile speaks of the handset again.

Guess what folks? The CDMA version of the BlackBerry Gemini is going to be available from Verizon Wireless soon. And if you disappointed to find out that the 8520 is coming from T-Mobile without WiFi support then you’re probably going to want the 8530 from Verizon. That’s right, the Aries heading to Big Red will offer you WiFi support just as will any other future Berry coming from Verizon.

Other specs include:

• 320×240 resolution screen
• 1xRTT, EV-DO
• QWERTY keyboard
• 2 megapixel camera
• OS 5.0
• Bluetooth
• Wi-Fi b,g

We have no idea when the 8530 will be available but we’re expecting Verizon to match T-Mobile’s pricing.

The Sidekick is probably the last phone a business executive would turn to when they are picking up a new smartphone. However, a recent press release suggests that the Sidekick is getting a bit more business oriented.

For $5 added onto your monthly T-Mobile subscription you will be looking at real time push email along with Exchange support. Yes, the Sidekick LX ‘09 will officially be getting Exchange support thanks to the new Sidekick Sync app.

In addition to Exchange and push email support Sidekick sync will offer you the ability to view attachments and configure sync schedules.

Just yesterday it was spotted that the Palm Pre is now selling for $99 with a 2-year contract on Sprint. Today, we get confirmation that Verizon will in fact be selling Palm’s newest handset for their service early next year.

This news comes to use from an investor conference call that went down earlier today where they also announced that most of their earnings are up compared to last year.

However, the call wasn’t all good news as Verizon has stated that due to a 21% drop in profits they are going to cut close to 8,000 workers. Bummer.

We’ve been hearing about this handset for a long time but it seems RIM has finally decided its time to let the BlackBerry Curve 8520 out of the bag.

This phone will officially feature a 320 x 240 resolution display, 2MP camera with video capture, WiFi, a track pad in place of the iconic track ball and the ability to sync up with Macs right out of the box. This is probably thanks to the Mac version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager that we heard about not too long ago.

Better yet, RIM has also us know that those rumors of the 8520 coming to T-Mobile were true as the phone will officially drop on said carrier August 5th for $129.99.
