Nothing says “buy me” like a glossy advertisement and that’s exactly what T-Mobile is dropping in their stores.  The trifecta of upcoming phones arguably covers the entire gambit of needs for smartphone lovers everywhere.  If you want some Android goodness, the Cliq XT with some MotoBlur window dressing has you covered.  Perhaps you want a touchscreen without all the smartphone frills but with some extra horsepower over that standard flip.  The Nokia Nuron is waiting for you.  Then, of course, there is the prize, the Transformers viewing, E Reading, 4.3-inch screen browsing Windows Phone bad boy.  The HTC HD2 needs no introduction on this blog but I do love watching Transformers over and over and over.  I know it’s a Michael Bay movie but I watch it for the explosions and testing my subwoofer, not the storyline!  Duh!  Anyway, this advertisement is ready for showtime come March 24^th and you can bet T-Mobile is looking for this trifecta of devices to lead their second quarter charge.

We’ve been hearing whispers through emails and smoke signals that the Nokia Nuron was indeed facing a short delay to launch.  We can now officially confirm the delay as well as the March 24^th launch date.  Originally slated for the 17^th, we’re not sure what the cause of the delay was and, frankly, since this phone only requires a $10 data plan, we’re willing to wait an extra week.  The pricing details were missing from the launch announcement, but we’re still hearing the $69.99 for 2-year and $179.99 no contract are solid prices.  That $179.99 no contract is a steal.  Want more of the Nuron?  Take a look here and here!

Arguably, the HTC HD2 is one of the most anticipated devices T-Mobile has launched in recent memory.  As a Windows Phone powerhouse, it may be the device to bring those who might have otherwise snubbed their nose at Windows devices back into the fold.  While we wait for more news, rumors and gossip regarding a possible or unlikely upgrade to Windows Phone 7, this phone will be here in just about 2 weeks.  Thanks to Mr. Blurrycam who managed to get his hands on the device extra early and was kind enough to send a few pictures our way.  As an extra present, he also included two extra images of the Nokia Nuron.   Our source was also kind enough to reiterate that the original release date of March 24^th is still the working date and the phone will be available at a price of $199.99 as we first leaked.  If you’ve been waiting for branded images of the T-Mobile HD2 to show up in the wild, today is that day!

Catch the images after the break!

T-Mobile and Nokia have gone and gotten all official for the Nokia Nuron which, at this point, wasn’t exactly a well-kept secret.  While I believe this phone is worth a look if only for its odd name, T-Mobile and Nokia want you to know a few things:

“Nokia and T-Mobile USA today announced the upcoming availability of the Nokia 5230 Nuron, a smartphone solution for the masses packed with applications, maps with turn-by-turn directions, and more. Operating on T-Mobile’s blazing-fast 3G network, the Nokia Nuron offers dynamic Web browsing and rich experiences on a 3.2” touch screen. The device is also the first pre-loaded with Ovi Maps, a free turn-by-turn navigation solution from Nokia, and the first to have the Ovi Store pre-loaded, giving consumers access to thousands of compelling applications and games. The Nokia Nuron is expected to be available in the coming weeks exclusively from T-Mobile.”

With an obvious focus on affordability, it was only yesterday we learned that the Nuron would be dropping in at just $69.99 after rebate and $179.99 sans contract.  Considering the assortment of features one gets with this phone, the price looks good for a touchscreen-based device.  Pre-loaded with OVI maps, the Nuron is the first US carrier-based Nokia smartphone to offer free turn-by-turn directions and navigation.  “Ovi Maps makes it easy to discover great places to eat, concerts, movies and more with Lonely Planet guides. Other features include the ability to check the weather forecast and even share one’s current location on Facebook. With pedestrian navigation, Ovi Maps delivers the best routes through pedestrian zones and shortcuts as well as pathways through parks and buildings. Exploring the world or rediscovering your own city has never been easier or more fun with Ovi Maps.”

Dropping March 17^th, the Nuron is worth looking at for those of you not quite needing the full-fledged smartphone experience but still interested in a capable device. At such a cheap price point, it’s hard to not give a second look to this phone.

Full press release after the break!

I’m going to let the numbers do most of the talking here so this will be short and sweet.  When T-Mobile originally launched the TouchPro2, it was understandably met by a large number of detractors who were taken back by the $349.99 price.  T-Mobile seemingly took that lesson to heart and this time is introducing their next Windows Phone powerhouse with a much more agreeable price, $199.99 after rebate.  At the moment, we can’t verify what the exact dollar amount of the rebate is, but I think it’s a safe bet to assume it’s either in the $50 or $100 increment, though we’re hoping for the former.  No contract?  No problem.  That’ll be $449.99.  NO REBATE REQUIRED WITH DATA PLAN!

How about the CLIQ XT?  The second phone in the CLIQ lineup is beginning to show itself from behind the curtain and if MotoBlur is your thing sans keyboard, this will set you back $129.99 after rebate.  No contract?  No problem.  That’ll be $329.99.  NO REBATE REQUIRED WITH DATA PLAN!

Not to be left out in the cold is the Nokia Nuron which was cut off from the image here.  Our source was kind enough to drop us a line and let us know that it’ll be coming in $69.99 after rebate.  No contract?  No problem.  That’ll be $179.99. All in all, not a bad deal!

Obviously this information is subject to change  as we come into March and the kickoff of all these phones.  Any changes and we’ll keep you updated!

I think it goes without saying that release dates for new phones are among  the most sought after pieces of information for the readers.  With that in mind, I’m back again with some updates, some new info and all around confirmation of things already known.  Let’s start with the Nokia 5230, aka Nuron, which remains on track for a March 17^th launch with its awful name intact.  The Webconnect Rocket, first previewed at Mobile World Congress and the first HSPA+ capable device for T-Mobile, will enter our atmosphere March 14^th.  The Dell product I believed was  a netbook has been definitely confirmed to be just what I thought.  In addition, my super sources have verified upcoming accessories labeled “Netbook Sleeve”, “Netbook VPC”, and “Wireless Mouse”.  However, I hear that the launch will be limited  to around 200-300 locations nationwide.  I suppose that’s not  surprising as I suspect that those stores would be selected based on proximity to corporate bodies such as the downtown of a major metro area. The Samsung T469 Gravity 2 in Deep Ocean Blue will drop around March 3^rd but will be far overshadowed by what comes later in the month.  The HTC device we’re all anticipating, the HTC HD2, still has a launch date of March 24^th.   The Zeppelin, aka Cliq XT, is on the calendar for a March 10^th launch.  The photographed yet still shadowed in secrecy MyTouch Slide, aka MyTouch 2, is still scheduled for a May 19^th launch.

Ok, so all that is nice, but is there anything new? The Samsung T479, known as the Gravity 3, will be dropping in both  Indigo and Rum variations on June 23^rd.  The Gravity 3 won’t have June 23^rd all to itself as the Samsung T669 will also be dropping in the “Steel” color.  What’s really interesting here is the addition of the LG GS505 Navy Blue coming June 30^th.  I saw this one hit the FCC last week but, as of yet, details are totally unknown and the FCC gives us nothing good to work with.

That’s all for now!!

If you’re one that often purchases your electronic products from Best Buy (who wouldn’t?), it looks like both the Motorola Cliq XT and Nokia Nuron are headed to your nearest Best Buy location. The Cliq XT coming in at a $449.99 retail price tag, will be $69.99 with a 2 year contract upgrade (Existing customers) and $99.99 with a new 2 year contract activation (New customers). On the other hand the Nokia Nuron (aka XpressMusic 5230), will cost you $299.99 retail, and on contract the entry level handset will run you $29.99 with a 2 year contract for both existing and new customers. Note, Best Buy contract pricing may differ from T-Mobile pricing. We’re still expecting the Nuron for a March 17th release and the Cliq XT launch on March 10th officially from T-Mobile.

While it’s only been a few days since we first got wind of the Nokia “Nuron”, aka Nokia 5230, the name hasn’t gotten any better. Dropping March 17^th as we first predicted, the Nuron will come in with some 3G goodness, a 3.2” touchscreen and the Ovi Application Store. Interestingly enough this phone is being billed to both “Connected Socializers ages 20-40. “ Ok. Sure. While it’s certainly not going to have the appeal of say the HD2 or the Nexus One, the combination of a touchscreen and the Ovi apps store might produce a winner.  Look for it March 17^th.
