T-Mobile to launch five new phones at CES

T-Mobile is a strong presence at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where it is said to showcase five new phones across its entire range, three of which feature Wi-Fi calling.

The Motorola W233 Renew is a low-end handset that has been recently unveiled and it is made entirely from recycled plastic water-cooler bottles. This environmentally friendly device comes in green and includes basic features such as Motorola's CrystalTalk noise reduction scheme.

A rather dull, inexpensive candybar from T-Mobile's portfolio is the Samsung t119, which is announced to work on the company's prepaid Flexpay service. The device features MyFaves and a speakerphone, yet it still remains a handset sporting the basic talking and text messaging. However, its 2.74 oz weight is worth mentioning.

Moving to the midrange devices presented by T-Mobile, we come across the Nokia 7510 “Supernova,” a fashion-oriented flip phone that can be already spotted on the European market. The phone comes with a hidden external screen and sports changeable brown, red and green faceplates. It includes Wi-Fi and support for T-Mobile's unlimited Wi-Fi caling service, as well as a 2-megapixel camera, MyFaves, memory card slot and Bluetooth.

Another great device that has been added to T-mobile's offering is the BlackBerry Curve 8900, which is expected to see a rather great success rate among consumers, as it comes with Curve's keyboard, along with the BlackBerry Bold's high-resolution screen and speedy processor. The phone does not feature 3G capabilities, yet it still has Wi-Fi, and might just blow the T-Mobile G1 away.

The last but not least of the new devices presented by T-Mobile is a new version of the popular Shadow, a low-end Windows Mobile phone. The new handset comes with a more rounded design than its predecessor, and it also features Windows Mobile 6.1, a 260 MHz processor, Wi-Fi calling capability, and a hybrid keyboard which is meant to allow for easier texting without a full QWERTY keyboard.

T-Mobile announced that the new phones would become available in January and February, but disclosed no information on their prices.
