New Cell Phones from T-Mobile and their Partners - Motorola RAZR V3 - Nokia 6010 - Samsung E335:
T-Mobile, like all the other major carriers in the United States (Verizon, Cingular, Nextel, Spring, AT&T Wireless) don't manufacturer cell phones for a living, they supply a network to use your cell phone on. Therefore T-Mobile gets cell phones to resell to their customers and as new phone become available they market them as their own. The current popular phones from T-Mobile are the Motorola V188, Motorola RAZR V3 (also the V3 in Magenta), Motorola V360, and coming soon is the Motorola PEBL. The Nokia models they offer are the 6010, 3220, and 6101. Some phones like the Samsung x475 and e335 are offered through the web only as specials. Other Samsung cell phones offered through T-Mobile are the Samsung X495, t309, e635, p735, and Samsung t809 ($299). Prices ranges from FREE to $299.
Some of the top end phones like the Samsung t809 come with a music player, camera and removable memory slot. With new phones being offered all the time, stop by their website at T-Mobile.com for reviews on the latest cell phones and handhelds that they are offering. Most phones now come standard with text messaging, ringtone capability, picture storage, and many give you Bluetooth Wireless access. Their commercials have Catherine Zeta Jones saying "get more from life".
T-Mobile Prepaid Phones:
The old "pay as you go" plans are popular once again. T-Mobile offers the To Go Prepaid phones. There are no annual contracts or credit checks, just pay as you go. The phones offered on these plans are the Nokia 6010, Samsung x495, Nokia 6101, Motorola V330, Motorola RAZR V3, and Sidekick II. Without a contract agreement, many of the phones you see advertised for free or cheap are not so cheap with prepaid plans, so expect to pay double the price of what others are paying for phones on annual contracts.
Handhelds and Sidekick 3:
T-Mobile does well in the business market with their handhelds and Sidekick. Their top selling T-Mobile Sidekick II goes for $199 and they also offer a T-Mobile Blackberry 7105t for $199. The T-Mobile Blackberry 7290 is a little pricier at $299 but has more features that are business friendly. The 2 most popular handhelds from t Mobile are the Sidekick II Juicy Couture and the Sidekick II Mister Cartoon (each resale for $399).
Best T-Mobile Camera Phone:
The best t-Mobile camera phone hands down is the Motorola RAZR V3. With it's sleek design and 4x digital zoom, your photos are sure to impress as the camera is ready whenever you are. The RAZR comes in a magenta color as well and retails for $99. There is even a video playback option on the phone which adds to it's first rate features. Keep in mind, that although the camera phone is the best of it's class, pictures taken by cell phones are not nearly as clear or colorful as those taken with a new digital camera. Phones just haven't caught up with the latest technology.
