Sometimes it’s worth waiting for your favorite phones, and if you happen to be waiting for the HTC Touch Pro2 or the Samsung Gravity 2 then you should know that August is your lucky T-Mobile month. The company is going to launch both phones in August so you’re basically days away from a new smartphone. According to the leaked documents presented here the HTC Touch Pro2 will be available on August 12 while the Samsung Gravity 2 is going to be available on August 19. We have no prices for you just yet but we’ll be waiting!

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.

It looks like Google has indeed released that Android Donut update which we were talking about the other day. And some developers have been able to install it on an Android Dev Phone 1 / T-Mobile G1 version already. The version is not exactly that stable and it might crash one too many times but at least some people get the chance to play around with Donut.

Those of you already running Android 1.5 on their smartphone will also be able to switch it to a cooked 1.5 build filled with 2.0 features until a stable Donut version will be officially available. As always, don’t play with any software if you’re not exactly sure what you’re doing.

Check out the screenshot here folks! There’s the proof we were looking for! T-Mobile is indeed going to launch the BlackBerry Curve 8520 Gemini on August 5 but the carrier isn’t officially saying anything just yet. The screenshot here is apparently a leaked T-Mobile document in which you can find the release date and the specs of the new Curve. And since that internal document did leak to the public, why can’t the page containing the future prices be made public? Or are we to assume the page here is just a fake, photoshopped picture?

The phone in the pictures here is the Samsung Scarlet T649, an entry- to mid-level phone which will be launched by T-Mobile at some point in the future. The Scarlet will bring your Bluetooth + EDR, a 2-megapixel camera, quad-band GSM, dual-band WCDMA 1700/2100, an MP3 player and a microSD slot. So if you’re looking for a new but very limited phone, the Scarlet is a good choice but if you want something smarter than you have to consider a different phone! We’ll let you know as soon as T-Mobile has decided to launch the phone but you can check out the phone already in these leaked pics.

RadioShack has long been a retailer of handsets from various carriers including Sprint, AT&T and Verizon. However, a T-Mobile handset has never found its way onto a RadioShack shelf. That could all be a thing of the past as RadioShack and T-Mobile have reportedly inked a partnership.

Apparantly, starting on August 19th, RadioShack will have the myTouch 3G, along with other T-Mobile handsets, on sale in-store.

BGR reports that wireless sales currently announce for 30% of RadioShack’s total revenue, so this recent partnership with T-Mobile should come as no surprise.

We had a few doubts on the validity of the last leak, but the latest picture seems to look very real to us.  This one shows the same design with the slide-out QWERTY keypad and the prerequisite T-Mobile and Motorola logos branded in, but wearing colors of black and blue instead of the white version we saw before.  But what’s special about this leak is the display, which clearly shows Android as the operating system of choice, confirming those whispers we have hearing that the Motorola Morrison is an Android smartphone headed for T-Mobile later this year.  According to the leaked T-Mobile Time Chart, the Morrison has a long way to go until the Holidays before it sees a release, so expect more leaks to sprout before Motorola or T-Mobile go official with the handset.

Improving upon the Samsung Gravity that was released last November, the Korean manufacturer has now announced the availability of Gravity 2 (SGH-t469) on T-Mobile USA’s network.  Like its predecessor, the Gravity 2 also sports a horizontal slide-out QWERTY keypad, although in a much slimmer body than the original.  Being a messaging phone, you may not find much in there other than the QWERTY keypad, but you should know that it has a 2-megapixel camera with video recording, an mp3 player, and a microSD slot that supports 16GB cards.  Still, if your life depended on messaging, you can take your pick between the t349, the Comeback, and the Gravity 2, which will be available next month at an undisclosed price and in a choice of berry mauve and metallic pumpkin.

While the Comeback was an all-out messaging phone, the Samsung t349 aspires to give the same kind of experience on a candybar form factor, going easy on the pocket at the same time.  The handset comes with a partial QWERTY keypad that should do just as well as a full QWERTY and has a 262k-color, 176×220 pixel TFT display.  There is also a 1.3 megapixel camera with a media player and 4GB microSD support to load up some of your favorite mp3s or mp4/3GP videos to listen or watch on the go.  Other features include Bluetooth, SMS/IM/Email support, and a speakerphone with 7 hours of talktime and 300 hours of standby on a single charge.  The Samsung SGH-t349 is available now on T-Mobile for just $14.99 on a two-year service agreement, so skip into your nearest store if you are interested.

T-Mobile and Samsung have now announced that the Comeback, a QWERTY clamshell that we heard about not more than a week ago, is available starting today.  The Samsung Comeback (SGH-t559) will come as a blessing to anyone who has suffered sore thumbs because of furious typing on minuscule keys, with its slide-flip QWERTY keypad, and easy access to social networking, email, and messaging.  There’s also T9 predictive text and auto word completion, which makes it a perfect device to type on and on.  The handset supports T-Mobile’s 3G network, has a basic 2 megapixel snapper for pictures and videos on the go, and a microSD slot which supports up to 16GB cards.  Not much there to go on as a whole, but if you are a textual junkie,  Comeback sounds like a great fix.  Available now on T-Mobile for $129.99 on a two-year contract.

In case you’re waiting for T-Mobile to start selling the Gemini, we have some good news for you. Although it hasn’t been confirmed yet it looks like T-Mobile is getting ready to offer you the BlackBerry Curve 8520 on August 5. As you may already know, T-Mobile has unleashed its BlackBerry Night at the Movies, a special event focused on the Gemini. Therefore an August launch will only sound like a logical step to take. All we need now is T-Mo’s confirmation press release!

You already know that T-Mo is going to launch the BlackBerry Curve 8520. What you don’t know is that RIM and T-Mobile are preparing extensively for the launch. BlackBerry Night at the Movies is a series of 51 parties which will start on July 20 and continue for about two weeks. The events are meant to celebrate the launch of the Curve 8520.

The parties will include a movie screening, contests, prizes and more surprises. The Gemini, that’s how we like to call the 8520, will be also unveiled at each party.

Can we expect T-Mobile to launch the Gemini during these Night at the Movies parties? Or will the phone be available immediately after?

Just yesterday the specs were revealed for Samsung’s latest handset entitled the Comeback. With its microSDHC slot, video recording capabilities and full QWERTY keyboard it is the perfect option for those looking for a low budget handset to text with. But just how low budget is it?

Well, according to a recently leaked document found by the guys over at BGR consumers may be looking at a $129.99 price point with a 2-year contract. But wait, that’s more then the iPhone 3G, and just $20 less than the G1.

Regardless, the documents look pretty legit with it also stating that T-Mobile will be offering Samsung’s Comeback handset for $179.99 on a 1-year contract and $249.99 without.

If rumors are to be believed, it seems that for about 2 weeks Walmart will be the exclusive carrier of T-Mobile’s BlackBerry Curve 8520 starting on August 5th.

For those who don’t know the BlackBerry 8520 features a 320 x 240 resolution display, 2MP camera, WiFi, quad-band GSM and RIM’s OS 5.0. Unfortunately, those looking for a 3G capable device will be discouraged to hear that this will not feature said connectivity.

Alternatively, if you want to grab one ahead of the competition you can always count on eBay.

If you’re currently a T-Mobile customer and are on the market for a full touch-screen device but have decided not to opt for the myTouch 3G, perhaps you should check out Samsung’s recently announced Highlight handset.

Pictured above, this handset features all of the most sought after features such as an ultra-thin design, 3MP camera with digital zoom and video recording capabilities, stereo blutooth, a microSD slot, A-GPS, HSDPA and a music player with support for MP3, WMA, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+ files. Additionally, the Samsung Highlight will be available in two color schemes; fire and ice (red and blue?).

So, be sure to keep an eye out for the Samsung Highlight on T-Mobile later this month.

Visual voicemail has been out for some time now on phones such as the iPhone, Samsung Instinct and various Blackberry models. However, most handsets running Google’s Android operating system haven’t gotten the same love.

Luckily, T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G will in fact include visual voicemail and the TmoNews has been kind enough to demo the software for us. You can view 3 videos of the service, here.

Once this software is up and working, the question remains if it will be ported to other Android devices. I guess only time can tell at this point.

Best Buy is another place where you can purchase the myTouch now. The Android smartphone is not available in store yet but it is available for pre-sale. For just a $50 deposit you will reserve your own myTouch phone. Naturally you’ll have to pay the rest and sign up for a new 2-year T-Mobile contract when the phone will be available. Unfortunately you will only be able to choose from a red or white model. The black model will be available only from T-Mobile later on. But if color is no object to you, then you can go to Best Buy right away and finalize the pre-sale.
