14 DAY TRIAL // It seems that T-Mobile's internal roadmap that shows the mobile phone that will go to Walmart stores has recently leaked into the wild, revealing a nice range of new and attractive devices, their slated release dates, as well as the price tags they are expected to feature when being available. Among the handsets, we can count the BlackBerry 8520, the T-Mobile G1 v2, Sony Ericcson CS8 or the T-Mobile G2.
We already said a few words on some of these devices, but now there are more details available, thanks to the roadmap BGR has just brought into the wild. For starters, there is the first image of the already known and much discussed T-Mobile G2, or the HTC Magic, the second Android phone in the world. The handset is supposed to arrive at the carrier with a 5.0-megapixel photo snapper, while expected to come to Walmart in July, featuring a price tag of $179 with a two-year contract agreement.
Another handset coming to T-Mobile in July is the BlackBerry 8520 (also known as Gemini), which was spotted before as well; it is expected to come in summer with a price tag of $78, although the phone should go down to $48 a few months afterwards. The phone has already been stated to come as a rather affordable device, so its price is not a surprise in the end.
Recently leaked screenshots of T-Mobile's roadmap for 2009 showed other handsets expected to arrive in the second half of the year, one of which would be the T-Mobile G1 v2 Bigfoot, spotted on the Walmart roadmap as the Morrison. The phone should include a slide-out HTC-style QWERTY, and should come to the market in October for $148 with a two-year agreement. According to BGR, T-mobile might have the handheld on sale for $149.99.
The Sony Ericsson CS8 was stated before to come to T-mobile, along with the Sony Ericsson CS5, and the Walmart roadmap confirms its arrival. As many of you might already know, we're looking at an 8.1-megapixel cameraphone, which should also include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, plus UMTS. The handset should arrive in September for $148 with a two-year agreement.
Other mobile phones to arrive at T-Mobile this year include the Sony Ericsson Elle, which should become available in October for free, it seems, as well as a Samsung QWERTY clamshell reportedly called XO and expected to come in August for $38. More about the phones that can be seen on the Walmart roadmap can be found on BGR.
