T-Mobile USA is soon going to roll out a re-styled and slightly upgraded myTouch 3G according to a press release. The new T-Mobile myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition will sport a wood grain guitar finish and will be equipped with a real 3.5mm headphone jack, something the original myTouch 3G is missing. No word yet on pricing or an availability date, but it should be ready for the holiday shopping season. I’ll post a photo or two when our media relations friends on the west coast wake up and send them to me…

Motorola CLIQ to cost $199 on contract. World blinks in disbelief

by Michael Oryl on Sep 29, 2009 0 Comments">0

Well, T-Mobile USA announced today that the Motorola CLIQ would be available for pre-order on October 19th, which we kinda knew, and that it would cost $199.99 on contract, which we simply cannot believe. Motorola NEEDS this phone to be a big success, and letting T-Mobile price it at $199 is not the way to do it when you can get an iPhone 3Gs for the same price and a Palm Pre for half the price. Moto needed tis to be a huge seller, and this price is not going to help the device, or Motorola, at all. Of course, …

Motorola CLIQ available for pre-sale on October 19

T-Mobile USA has placed a teaser page on its website that shows that the Motorola CLIQ, Moto’s first Android handset, will be up for pre-sale starting on October 19th. I think it’s a bit weak to tease people with a date to when you can almost get a CLIQ instead of actually telling people when it will be available, but I guess we’ll have to take what we can get at this point. Update: I had the date as the 18th before. Been that kind of week, folks…. [via TmoNews]

Another great day for T-Mobile and HTC; the FCC has recently passed the HTC Magic, making the device’s arrival in the United States now just a formality. This will be the second Android device for T-Mobile USA, leaving Sprint still pining for some Android love. In case you have just made it back from the moon, here are some of the important spec details for the HTC Magic. The soft styled, curved handset offers a 3.2-inch HVGA (320×480 pixels) TFT capacitive touchscreen display along with video recording provided by what appears to be an upgraded 5 megapixel camera. BlackBerry fans …

T-Mobile G1 available for $98 from Amazon USA

by James Tromans on Mar 11, 2009 0 Comments">0

Amazon USA has recently launched a G1 price cut promotion, offering the G1 is for just over half the usual price, now only $98 instead of $180! Of course, the suggested retail is $399, but no one really sells the G1 for that price these days. The only down side of this deal is also the obvious one. In order to qualify for this price point, you must also be willing to sign up for a new service contract, which unfortunately makes the deal a no-go for current T-Mobile customers. Why this promotion now? Perhaps with the imminent arrival of …
