Earlier this month we let you know that T-Mobile was gearing up to launch a device called the T-Mobile Tap. Additionally, we told you around the same time that they would be carrying the Samsung Behold II. However, at the time, we didnot knwow when these devices would be made available.

Today, Tmonews has come oup with a slide that shows the T-Mobile Tap with a release date of November 11th and the Samsung Behold II with a release day of November 18th.

Are these rumors to be believed? We’ll have to wait for news from T-Mobile to see.

The Storm 2 hasn’t technically been made official for Verizon Wireless yet but it’s coming, we know it is. However, if recent reports are to be believed owners of the original BlackBerry Storm may not be left completely in the dark.

Said reports state that the original Storm will be getting a firmware update to bring it up to speed software wise with the Storm 2. This means the device will be getting flick scrolling, threaded texting and tabbed browsing.

Exactly when is this firmware update expected to go down? Let’s wait until Verizon officially announces the Storm 2 to make any assumptions.

Not too long ago rumors began to surface that RIM was working on a Bluetooth enabled BlackBerry watch that would give users the ability to preview messages, see who is calling and more without having to whip their handset out.

Today, CrackBerry has gotten their hands on the above pictures of what they are saying is the official BlackBerry watch possibly called the inPulse. This device was apparently manufactured out of house for RIM and features an OLED screen.

We’ll have to wait until more information is made known regarding this device.

A few days ago we let you know that the HTC HD2 would be available unlocked in the UK for around $740. Well, not only is that a steep price but it gives us no hint to North American availability.

However, the above image has hit the web that lets us know that the HD2 is on its way to T-Mobile with its 4.3-inch touch screen and Snapdragon processor.

Is this image to be believed?

Windows Mobile 6.5 has only just made its official debut on October 6th and already the internet is a buzz over the release date of Windows Mobile 7.

As you can see from the above leaked slide, Windows Mobile 7 is supposedly set for an RTM release date of spring 2010.

As always, this is just a rumor until Microsoft makes an official announcement.

Rumors have recently surfaced that give us a hint as to when that highly sought after BlackBerry Bold 9700 will be made available for purchase.

Apparently, the above mentioned handset will be hitting T-Mobile on November 11th but until RIM or T-Mobile make an official announcement we will have to mark this one off as a rumor.

Anyone else as anxious for this phone as we are?

If you’re on Sprint and really looking to secure yourself an HTC Hero when it is made available, rumors are surfacing that you are now able to pre-order it.

Of course, you’re not going to be able to just hop on their website and slap down a pre-order instead you’re going to have to call up Sprint’s telesales and haggle with them until the let you pre-order it.

Either way, the chances of the HTC Hero completely selling out are slim so you shouldn’t have a problem if you don’t want to deal with Sprint’s customer service.

On the first of this month we let you know that Motorola was working on an Android powered phone for Verizon reportedly called the Droid. This is supposedly the same device that has been floating around that people have been calling the Motorola Sholes.

Whatever its name is, we already know that it will most likely feature a 600MHz processor along with a 3.7-inch touchscreen, 5MP camera all powered by Google’s Android 2.0 operating system.

Today further rumors have appeared that tell us the device might also feature a 430MHz C64x + DSP + ISP in addition to a PowerVR SGX 530GPU. Hardware wise we’re also looking at a 3.5mm jack, 16GB of internal storage and a microSD slot for expansion.

December 1st is the release date these rumors are pointing at but until we hear official word from Motorola or Verizon, we’re keeping our mouths shut.

What you see above is a screen shot of Best Buy’s product inventory database listing for the BlackBerry Storm 2’s Verizon dummy unit.

At first glance, this may not seem like anything special but once you see that Best Buy is going to stock the unit on October 25th leads us to believe that the actual fully functioning handset will be made available for purchase sometime soon after the 25th.

On another note, BGR has also apparently been told that the Storm 2 will be priced at $599 with no contract. Potential buyers fret not as once the carrier subsidization is factored in, it’s sure to be a lot lower.

If the above document snagged by Engadget is to be believed we should be seeing Garmin-Asus’ nuvifone G60 offered by AT&T on October 4th for $299.99 after a 2-year contract.

As you can see, this device will triband HSDPA, Bluetooth, a microSD slot, GPS navigation with preloaded maps (of course) and a 3.2 megapixel camera.

If you’re looking for a full fledged turn-by-turn GPS system and are also on the market for a new cellphone, definitely check the G60 out.

It seems that Nokia has recently issued the above notice to handset distributors letting them know that the N900 is en route and scheduled to arrive September 27th.

For those of you not paying attention, the N900 is slated to be Nokia’s first Maemo 5 handset and is destined for the US carrier T-Mobile.

Of course, this remains a rumor until Nokia comes forth and speaks of it but if/when it proves itself to be true we may see the N900 made available for purchase within the first week of October which may excite some consumers. Then again its ~$650 price tag may be a deal breaker for most but hey, it isn’t cheap being an early adopter.

Yesterday we let you know that the Motorola CLIQ would be coming to the UK sometime in 2010 as the Motorola DEXT. However, today we have some contrasting news as recent reports suggest that the Motorola DEXT will in fact be hitting Orange UK sometime early next month.

Furthermore, pre-orders are supposedly going to start sometime around September 22nd so if you’re on Orange UK and want to get yourself an Android handset you should probably wait off until then.

It seems that we have evidence to support the rumor that Palm is gearing up to launch their webOS touting Eos sometime next month. According to TechCrunch, Palm will unveil the phone sometime next week in leiu of Fashion Week.

This would somewhat make sense since the Eos is said to feature a low price and sleek design. Either way, we won’t know if this phone even exists (although we do have some proof) until Palm makes an official announcement. We’ll keep you posted.

The Hero is one of HTC’s most coveted phones, featuring a beautiful touchscreen display and most importantly Sense UI. So, it would only make sense that the company would then go on to produce an HTC Hero 2, of sorts, right?

Well, what you see above may be just that as 8080.net claims it is a device that recently found its way through the FCC called the Hero200. Of course, we have no official confirmation but you can clearly see that it’s running the Sense UI but where is the Jay Leno chin?

It seems that a Nokia employee may have accidentally confirmed that an AT&T 3G compatible N900 is in the works. News comes to us from a The Nokia Blog reader who questioned Nokia about a possible AT&T iteration of the handset to which the company replied:

Alvin,

You are correct, we’ve announced the Nokia N900 yesterday. We have not announced where it will be available but have just said that it will be released in select regions.

Regarding the network bands, you are correct – we announced a WCDMA 900/1700/2100 MHz bands. We have not made any announcements regarding an 850/1900/2100 MHz band device. An announcement will be forthcoming.

Thanks,
Joe

So, a forthcoming announcement about an 850/1900/2100MHz Nokia N900? We’ll keep you posted.

If Apple resellers are to be believed, the current generation of iPods are being discounted and retailers are being urged to deplete their stock to make way for new models. While this hasn’t been officially confirmed, we’ve had tons of evidence to support the fact that Apple is gearing up to launch a line of iPod nanos and touches that feature a digital camera.

Those looking to purchase a new iPod may want to hold off until September 8th when Apple is expected to make an announcement.

Yesterday, it was made known that the Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 was made available for purchase in Taiwan with no solid word on a worldwide launch. However, if recent reports are to be believed the two devices may be making their way onto the US carrier AT&T at some point in the future.

News comes to us from Pocket-lint who was on hand at the M20 Taiwanese launch and have quoted a Garmin-Asus rep to have said “the M20 is destined for AT&T in the U.S.”.

Unfortunately, that’s all the info we were given but I think it’s safe to say we will definitely see the device drop on AT&T in the coming months.

What you see above is supposedly a shot of the next generation iPod touch that is rumored to be supporting a built-in camera sat next to a last generation iPod touch.

As you can see, the camera is in the same exact spot that the cases spotted earlier today showed it to be. We’re not exactly sure why the back of the device is ridiculously scratched or if this is the handwork of a Photoshop-smith. Either or, chances are we are going to hear about the next gen iPod touch next month so we’ll have to wait until then to see if these photos are real.

Click through to check out a high-res close up of the device’s camera below.
