    Interesting. Just chatted with T-Mobile asking if they still had the iPhone trade in program going. I was told that the promotion had ended, but there would be “new information on that promotion in two days”. Whatever this new phone is, maybe they are going to throw out some pretty good promotions to get people interested. I was going to sell my unlocked iphone on craigslist and upgrade to a mytouch slider, but I think I will wait a few days and see whats going on.

    • Air One

      I think its the Dell mini 5

      • FILA

        I would cream my panties if that was it

      • Zach F

        Sims have Emeralds above there heads. Project EmeralD?

    • TMO REP

      The Iphone trade in program goes through the end of july….soooo….you talked to a moron…lol

  • JG

    Could it be the new Apple iPab? Which, if it is….then we’ll be getting the iPhone!! Or maybe , something similar to the iPad…Dell?

    • Air One

      Dell mini 5 is thin, it has a 5″ screen and packs the muscle. Seriously,a ll the hype of an iphone needs to be thrown out of the window for now.

  • Reece

    Hmmmmm…

    Either the Galaxy S or the Dell Streak 5! :O

    I’d be satisfied if it was a device up there with those two. But if.. IF… IF it was the mythical “Project Emerald”/”Sidekick Twist” device that’s heavily rumored, I’d seriously would s**t my pants nonstop for a week.

    • NiiDiddy

      GOSH!!! Wouldn’t it be nice to have the Dell Streak with the 5.0 screen, AND the SGS at t-mobile at the same time?!? i’d be like a kid in the candy store…

  • Solid_Fox

    Maybe they will throw something out we didn’t see coming. When was the last time anyone heard about Project Emerald? ;)

  • http://davidthande.blogspot.com DavidThande

    My biggest obstacle with this Samsung is the lack of the friking Flash? Please Tmobile please let this phone have a flash and if you do you have me for another two years totaling 11. If you guys fail with the camera flash point. I’m jumping ship to At&t.

    • NiiDiddy

      sheesh…who cares about flash? well, bye…hope you are happy at at&t when you get a phone with FLASH on it!! stupid to jump ship because you cannot get FLASH on an upcoming phone…brat lol!!!!

      • bill

        I think you’re confused as to what kind of flash he’s referring too. There’s no flash on the camera. You know….the thing everyone bitched about on the iPhone for 3 generations.

    • Anthony

      Agreed.

      The fact is that I use my phone as a camera quite often. Sorry, but I’m a guy and I don’t carry a digital camera around with me in my purse like some of you guys must do. Am I suppose to forgo using that function of my phone in poor light or at night?

      What a joke.

  • http://squarecat.com Scott B

    Really, T-Mobile? Really?? Because I can’t already buy a device ANYwhere that allows me to read digital books?

    I mean, I like T-Mobile as a service provider and all — their coverage suits my needs, the price is right, and my experience with customer service has always been excellent.

    But I can’t shake the feeling this guessing game is just leading up to yet another announcement that will amount to a collective shrug.

    They don’t NEED the iPhone, Galaxy S, or any other over-hyped “superphone”, T-Mobile just needs to carry a phone that isn’t… embarrassing.

  • Scaulen

    If it is the Galaxy S it looks loaded and then some.

    http://galaxys.samsungmobile.com/

  • heywhoa

    It’s obviously pointing to the Kindle software that comes pre-loaded on the Galaxy S

  • Barry

    @David IMO I feel the galaxy is not “project emerald” since the first clue had nothing to do with the Sims emerald logo which everyone thought cause it was green blah blah blah…so do you feel confidant in saying the vibrant is not project emerald?

  • trees247

    I still say Nexus One in stores

    • trees247

      Its too early for the Galaxy S

  • Dale Murphy

    you also have to think about cost. in a lot of ways the specs are better than the nexus one minus led flash (which i could not care less about). you guys want a lot od add-ons and would complain about the cost. already, i can see this phone costing roughly $600 off contract. I would still purchase at this price but i foresee people balking at this price point which is a little more than the nexus one.

    • Robbie

      What makes it better is that we will be able to get the vibrant at stores, try it out before we buy and if we dont qualify for an upgrade we can just get it in payments.

    • Dale Murphy

      i can see this phone ‘already’ costing roughly $600 off contract.

      • keele8

        Wasn’t there an article way back when the Galaxy S was first being talked about that said there was an estimated price of $1000 retail?

  • E double e

    Yo.. such a vivrant thing

    • NiiDiddy

      lmao…i agree!

    • Longsh0t

      You’ve already predicted the theme song for first T-Mo commercial for SGS. LOL

  • raymond

    well if davidohio is right the htc twist is coming the 24th lmao

  • phonegeek

    t-mobile would drop the front facing camera wouldnt they… cmon now ALL the bells and whistles …. not just a couple bells an two whistles….smh still love tmo but cmon sidekick twist ftw

  • G-Money

    wouldn’t the htc twist have to have passed through the FCC if it’s coming that soon?

    • phonegeek

      what IF tmo decided (story beyond this point)

      TMO PRESIDENT: “hey i’ve decided we’re going to keep the sidekick twist under wraps”

      TMO YES MAN: ” ok boss got it,but what about letting them know it passed through the fcc?”

      TMO PRESIDENT: ” no no no COMPLETELY under wraps we’ll use the galaxy s hype to make them concentrate on that and if anyone leaks the picture ill make sure YOU DONT WORK IN THIS TOWN AGAIN…..now all in favor say yay?”

      TMO YESMEN: “YAY!!”

      TMO PRESIDENT: “good good, all not in favor of my genius reasoning and thought process”
      one smart yesman turned noman: “nay”

      TMO PRESIDENT: ” what? okay and why is this?”

      THE NO MAN: ” because sir what if tmo customers want to leave due to not hearing about phones they want, sure the galaxy will be good advertisement with our computer goers, but what about the faithful who wait for their sidekick with everything they ever wanted i mean just think about it!”

      TMO PRESIDENT: ……hmm i see……your fired….because im a genius …and your not”

      lol just saying

  • NiiDiddy

    Oh come on…it’s the Samsung Galaxy S!!

  • iFloss™

    This is actually pretty fun.

  • rushmore

    Nope, Tmo is going retro- Then new device is the G1 in a chrome case :)

  • Mr. T

    T-Mobile, whatever you pay your marketing department, I will do a job a million times better and all I request is that I get at least the 25,000 dollar salary I currently make now, which is probably a lot less than what you currently pay your overpriced monkies.

  • Mr. T

    Just realized I typed monkies…I don’t care

    • Jason

      the fact you called them monkeys earned you 30K

  • soon2TMO

    Yaa it is the samsung galaxyS..(Vibrant)
    They got rid of the front facing camera hence the altered design. I think they took the fromt cam off because video calling will cost a lot of bandwidth especially on 3G.. I’m not sure, but that’s what I think.. They didn’t really have to get rid of it since tmo has HSPA+.. I don’t know, that sucks though, I’n a lil disappointed .. Ughh

    I’ll see the milestone.. Then decide..

  • alex32

    it has been confirmed its the samsung galaxy S
    proof:

  • JL

    Did you all notice the pictures from the phone? Instead of magenta I see a lot of green. Emerald. http://yfrog.com/f/75j0tp/

    • JL

      One more thing I don’t really care about the Sims game or amazon or avatar being on my phone. WTF

      • alex32

        yeah i noticed it, and for real what a waste of space. I really dont care about samsung in general. Looks like I’ll still be waiting for TMO to bring a high end HTC android device.

      • Bobomo

        It’s good in-store fodder. Like I never would have bought the HD2 for Transformers, but it made a really nice in-store demo. Every carrier is getting some version of this phone and T-Mobile is trying to distinguish their version with services and add-ins. Fine by me.

    • Dale Murphy

      interesting observation.

  • raymond

    wait i know they wldnt tke off the front facing cam thats like hindering the device ;\ that wld be a big mistake

    they really need to bring a htc twist if they are weakening the galaxy s

  • alex32

    yeah i noticed it, and for real what a waste of space. I really dont care about samsung in general. Looks like I’ll still be waiting for TMO to bring a high end HTC android device.

  • Bobomo

    Someone on twitter complained about not having a high-end Android available on T-Mo (specifically saying the Slide and Garminphone were not enough for him) and T-Mo responded with this:

    “I’m sure you will be happy once we announce the final clue :) JR”

  • phone geek

    i know what it is the new iphone 4…… it haves the ne ibook app

  • http://soapboxuniverse.blogspot.com/?spref=gb K. Ray

    There is Fring that does not use as much bandwidth. I spoke with a rep at the shack and he said the HSPA + is plenty for the application of video conferencing. I for one hope it is a Nexus phone updated. Keep in mind that all the demo’s on the I/O Google conference used the nexus phone. I think the teases will continue until the first week of July. Just a hope for the new mystery device.

  • Robbie

    @Phromik We are working on launching new high end devices very soon. :) JR

    from a tmo “rep” or whatever on tmobile_usa twitter, notice it says “devices”

  • Mike

    Here’s a question. Why would T-Mobile come out tomorrow and anounce the SGS when Samsung already has a release event scedualed for the 29th? Look at the link here http://www.intomobile.com/2010/06/08/samsung-launching-galaxy-s-on-june-29th.html . It is possiable they wanna get the word out early but if Samsung hasn’t announced it, how can T-Mo announce it. My guess is it’s something totally different from the SGS. What it could be, I don’t know. My hope is that it’s a HTC Android device on par with the EVO, but I’m not getting my hopes up only to have them crushed yet again. That’s just my two cents.

  • Antwain

    Maybe its the announcement of the galaxy s/vibrant and they might have two retail versions one with front facing camera and flash while the other without but it’ll have a keyboard (galaxy pro/ vibrant pro).

    • keele8

      That’s what I have been saying all along. I think they are going to release two versions of the Galaxy S, one with keyboard one without.

  • Mike

    http://twitter.com/adraysays/status/16790491591

    And TMo’s response to that tweet:

    http://twitter.com/TMobile_USA/status/16796321243

    That would appear to be a direct confirmation! But it’s Twitter, so who knows. I’m sure this is approaching World’s Worst Kept Secret status at this point.

  • Christopher

    check out cellphonesignal.com tmobile will be annoucing the Vibrant Galaxy S….IT COMES WITH THE SIMS, gogo flight, and amazon kindle app preloaded. i probably forgot some other details so check the site out

    • Bobomo

      LOL. That information was released on this blog yesterday. The only thing that site added was some pictures – which may or may not be photoshopped…

  • Hoff

    What if it’s the Desire with updated hardware to accommodate HSPA+? That would be THE Android device that would ultimately put Magenta back into the running. I’m just spit-balling here, but if it isn’t another high-end Android device, what’s the point? I know we’re all smartphone geeks here, and the average Joe isn’t the least bit concerned about it, but whoever is posting this info for us to follow on Twitter is bound to think it not only appeals to “us”, but to the general public as well. Otherwise, why even bother to mention it? Last weekend’s promo for family plans seemed to fit too nicely into Magenta’s scheme of things. If it is a better device than the MT3GS or Garminfone, wouldn’t it be safe to say that whatever potential Android device it may be, it starts TMO back on the right track to being the leader of the most Android devices in its lineup? Now if they could only get the higher end Android devices into their lineup it would be vastly more appealing to the general consumer and an additional selling point for TMO to use toward their customer base. Or not…………

    • keele8

      Hoff, I am not going against your post in anyway. There are a lot of people that keep talking about how the smartphone geeks are the only ones complaining about Tmobile phones and we are a small percetage. But, and I am not an iPhone fan at all, but the iPhone has become a mainstream phone. It was orginally looked at a phone for the tech geeks. But not just phone geeks, but vitually anyone uses and can use that phone. Yes, we tech savy geeks if you will, want the smartphone we think we deserve, but once Tmobile gets one it won’t just be the geeks that will get it. Just like the iPhone it will get great reviews and more and more people will buy it and pretty soon it will be mainstream. Or look at the droid for Verizon. I know people that have one of those that don’t even know how to use it. But it is the cool phone to have and they like enough about it to make it their phone. They don’t know how to take full advantage of everything it has to offer, but they like what little they know so it has become a mainstream phone for Verizon. I think most of us want a smartphone so that there will be more and more of them in the future so we can have more choices in what phones we get with Tmobile, just like Verizon (how many new smartphones are they getting in the next few months?) But right now our hands are tied with no superphones and even if we are a minority Tmobile still needs to get on the ball and get a half way descent phone to stay in the cell phone game. If they don’t, they will not only loose the geeks, but the more mainstream superphones become the more the general public will leave Tmobile too.

  • JL

    I GOT IT………………or at least i think I do
    I was looking at the HTC site and the HTC colors are GREEN. Some above just mentioned,”Why would T-mobile ANNOUNCE the Galaxy before Samsungs Official Launch” Great question WHY? Then I saw that they have a phone that is full of superpowers blah blah blah. I think this is going to be an HTC phone BUT WHAT KIND?

  • Beto

    Its the Amazon Kindle so yo can read books anywhere. Just Maybe. ha ha ha …….!

  • jmts80

    I like this little guessing game! Hope it is the SGS. One thing i dont like is the lack of flash for the camera. I understand it is not a big deal for some but I really like to have it. Deal breaker fro me =/

  • gb

    I wouldn’t rely too heavily on the “leaked” images from cellphonesignal.com for information on the Galaxy S.
    They are obviously photoshopped, and not that well.
    If you look at the back of the phone, towards the bottom, you can see the bubble that they left when they just removed the “Samsung” from the 360 degree view of the Galaxy S from Samsung’s website for the Galaxy.
    Until T-mobile or Samsung releases images of the phone, I’m not going to rely on the “leaked” images for information regarding if the phone does or does not have a flash or front-facing camera.

    • Stillwaiting

      Ditto

    • soon2TMO

      I hope you are right!!

      I want the front facing cam… Or at least add an LED flash!! Come on TMO!!

      Errr..

    • Stillwaiting

      If you look at images for the Samsung Behold on the samsung mobile website, you’ll notice how the same image could have very easily been use to create the mock-up of the design. You’ll also notice a number of samsung devices that have a camera with a flash and a front facing camera. So I’m holding out hope these will be on the device.

  • menchi

    well the samsung galaxy s has an e-book app with 3 free books so I bet it is the samsung. plus its supposed to be released this month

  • Rilesman

    What if it is the SGS and ALSO Samsung’s Tablet (trying to flame the fires of intrigue)

  • http://none.com methodz

    was the big button in the middle just a button? or was it a button/trackpad because if it was a trackpad i would be pissed that they removed it.

    • JustMike

      It was just a big ugly button – no trackpad.

  • taaars

    Well..no longer have to worry about updates…Galaxy has been rooted. This means Im staying with TMO…

    BTW…Galaxy S can play Video for 7.5 hours, confirmed.

    • Homer

      What’s the link for the site you found the root?

      • keele8

        Not sure if this is the one taaars saw it, but this is one.

        http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/6/samsung-galaxy-s-can-be-rooted-but-its-rough/

      • Homer

        Yeah I was Reading that! But by the time the galaxy actually comes out there will be a much easier way to do it. I mean look at one week can do, now imagine a month! But seriously why can’t all jailbreaks or roots be as easy as the spirit jailbreak? Five seconds your done! Since they have root I will now buy this phone……It will be amazing!! Just seriously hope that tmobile doesn’t get rid of the front facing camera because the root could open up a whole new world for video chat. Bring on the star trek gadgets. Would be nice to be able to get in our works video conferencing on the go.

  • Reeze

    It’S the SAMSUNG GALAXY S ( Aka Vibrant) with and ebook app, sim 3, and mobi tv.

  • Jacob

    What ever happened to our choice of not to have Data service not up to T-Mo!!!

    • pjs

      you can always get the phone without data services (craigslist, ebay, or full retail price)

  • Brian

    meh, whatever. tmo will reveal whatever whenever they feel like it. besides, it cant be that revolutionary or exciting. Ive been a tmo customer long enough to expect small things from tmo

  • Alex

    I am still going with the N8. This way, I won’t get angry if TMO drops something not worthy of the intrigue and curiousity…

    • Nokia N900USER

      I feel your pain lol. I for one is waiting for the next nokia N9 with meego. Its slated to come out in november

  • Logan

    I asked them on Twitter where our high-end Android devices are and where the Sidekick Twist is, this is what they said: “We definitely are working on some awesome phones right now! No word on the Sidekick Twist, though. Sorry! ^AT”

  • Getreal

    Like I said before, other operators are rolling out far too many great new phones and things. Sprint has TV/video calling, Verizon has Skype, ATT has iPhone, and TMo has… I am sorry TMobile. I feel like you are the really nice girl that always hangs around and would be great to marry but is just lacking in certain areas.

    I think I may be gone real soon. Unfortunately, I love TMobile. I have been with them since 2003. I wish they would roll out some great phones. I would even be glad to pay more for the service. When I called the other day to see what it would take to cancel, they asked if I would like to talk to someone in their cancellation department to see if I could get a reduction in rate plan. I told them no. It would not be fair. TMobile does a great job providing great service. It is just that they lack in terms of offerings (phones, etc.).

    I have an iPhone on order for Thursday. It would be great if TMobile would release a great device tomorrow to challenge the Apple device, but I am afraid not. Like it or not, iPhone has video calling, skype, more apps than android, and a friendlier interface than other phones. It also works with Exchange. Apple is killing it and they are with only one provider. Android is beating them right now in terms of units sold, but it is because people hate ATT. If iPhone released their phone on all networks than it would be game over for so many. iPhone would kill Blackberry, Android, and Nokia.

    Like it or not, that is the deal and most likely come Thursday I will be standing in line to register my new phone…with AT&T.

    • Joe Buck

      same here. later tmobile

    • YourDaddy

      @getreal… The fact of the matter is apple does come out with innovative ideas, nice looking devices, & easy to use. But they really are following their own suit- they have way to much of a “here’s what you’re gonna get and you better like it”. They stick with one carrier so………..”this is the carrier you’re gonna get and you better like it.” Which iphone released this year would you like? (how many choices do you have?) and which android phone released this year would you like (many more choices!)

      apple = their choice
      android = your choice

      No further questions your honor.

      p.s.
      I hate itunes. But hey… you do have a snazzy looking iphone 4 can’t deny that.

      • getreal

        @yourdaddy

        The real fact of the matter is that Apple only needs one device to crush android, BB, and Nokia. They may tell you what carrier to use and only produce one phone but they offer amazing support. Who you gonna call when your nexus one breaks? You will be emailing google. I don’t think people really give two craps whether android phones come in different flavors. The game is being played by android too. I don’t see the HTC EVO available on any other network than Sprint. What about the incredible? Like I said before Apple would crush android if they would release it on all carriers. Look at the app store. Skype isn’t on android or bb (unless you have verizon), but it is on iphone (even if you jailbreak it and use it on tmo). The app store for apple is larger than android and bb combined.

        I hope android keeps developing and competing because it will push apple to stay ahead of the game. However, right now Apple has the best phone out there and it is unfortunate it is with one network.

  • going_home

    I might have to consider buying a Nexus One off contract if it comes with Froyo.

    ;)

  • Thanh

    Tmobile will anounce the Samsung Galaxy will be released on July XX… surprise.. ok next!!! *yawn* I was on about a 3 month waiting list for the G1 and was genuinely excited about the G1…. its sad Tmobile got us all excited w/ the G1 and then let HTC just whore out android to everyone else except Tmobile… I feel used in some way…. I almost switched to Verizon this past weekend but my gf was still on Tmobile contract for another 2 months so we decided to wait and switch together if we do decide on it. I refuse to go to Sprint or AT&T… their network sucks!
