T-Mobile brings Nokia Lumia 710

Number-four U.S. mobile operator might have been able to offer the iPhone, but it does have a bit of a feather in its cap now: it’s offering the first Nokia Windows Phone device available in the United States, the Nokia Lumia 710. But instead of being a high-end device intended to appeal to the cutting edge of the mobile universe, the Lumia 710 is really intended as a starter smartphone and its $49.99 price emphasizes that appeal.

“We’re excited to team with Nokia in bringing its first Windows Phone to the U.S. with the elegantly designed Nokia Lumia 710,” said T-Mobile USA chief marketing officer Cole Brodman. “Windows Phone offers a compelling mobile OS choice for people who want a smartphone built around them, their family, and friends. We expect it to play a more prominent role in our lineup and marketing efforts in 2012.”

The Nokia Lumia 710 sports a 3.7-inch 800 by 480-pixel touchscreen display, a 1.4 GHz Qualcomm SnapDragon processor, a 5 megapixel camera, assisted GPS, 802.11 b/g/n and BLuetooth 2.1+EDR wireless networking, and the phone has 8 GB of onboard flash storage. It runs Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) operating system, and Nokia says it’ll handle up to 7 hours of talk time on a battery charge. The Lumia 710 also operates on T-Mobile’s HSPA+ “4G” network, meaning users can tap into streaming video, mobile TV, and other high-bandwidth mobile applications—and the device comes with a bunch of them front and center, including Netflix and T-Mobile TV, along with Xbox Live and the Windows Phone Office Hub.

T-Mobile is positioning the Lumia 710 as a solid starter phone for users who have yet to make the jump from feature phones to smartphones and those might just be the ideal customers for Windows Phone devices, since they don’t have baggage of iOS or Android apps and content that might keep them locked into other platforms.

The Nokia Lumia 710 is available in white or black starting today at T-Mobile retail stores and selected retailers for $49.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate card, when purchased with a qualifying two-year service agreement.

AT&T drops $39B T-Mobile bid

AT&T Inc. is hanging up on its $39 billion bid to buy smaller wireless provider T-Mobile USA, nearly four months after the U.S. government raised concerns that it would raise prices, reduce innovation and give customers fewer choices.

The long-expected announcement left AT&T grumbling about a shortage of airwaves to expand its services, while scrappy competitor T-Mobile remains up for sale by German parent Deutsche Telekom.

The formal end of the deal was heralded by critics. No. 3 carrier Sprint Nextel Corp. had feared "an undeniable duopoly" between the proposed new entity and current leader Verizon Wireless. The two companies would have controlled almost 80 percent of the cellphone market had the deal gone through.

Sanford Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett said the announcement was "a bit of an anticlimax."

"This is like receiving the divorce papers for a couple that's been separated for years," he said.

AT&T's purchase of fourth-ranked T-Mobile, announced in March, would have made it the largest cellphone company in the U.S. AT&T is now the second-largest wireless carrier, with more than 100 million subscribers, behind Verizon Wireless, with 108 million. Sprint has 53 million, followed by T-Mobile at 34 million.

T-Mobile endured without much investment from its parent company and without the highest-end devices such as Apple Inc.'s iPhone. It offered value packages to customers who brought phones from other carriers. Regulators feared the loss of T-Mobile as a competitor would hurt consumers.

AT&T will now have to pay Deutsche Telekom $3 billion in cash as a breakup fee and give it about $1 billion worth of airwaves, known as spectrum, that AT&T doesn't need for the continued rollout of its high-speed "4G" network.

It will also enter into a roaming agreement with Deutsche Telekom so that AT&T's and T-Mobile's customers can use each other's networks.

AT&T will take an accounting charge of $4 billion in the current quarter.

The company said the deal would have solved that problem for a time, and without it, "customers will be harmed and needed investment will be stifled."

AT&T said it will continue to invest, and it called on the government to quickly approve its purchase of unused spectrum from Qualcomm Inc. and come up with legislation to meet the nation's long-term needs.

Besides such an auction, AT&T could also buy spectrum from satellite TV operator Dish Network Corp., which could require an FCC waiver because it is licensed for satellite use.

Besides missing out on many of the hottest smartphones, T-Mobile has stuck to updating its existing 3G network to achieve 4G speeds.

By contrast, competitors have moved to all-new networks that use LTE, or long-term evolution, technology specifically designed to carry data. Both AT&T and Verizon are building LTE networks, and Sprint intends to use the technology, too.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 coming to T-Mobile

The 4G variant of Samsung's Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 tablet will become available under T-Mobile's wing on November 16, the company has announced.

The 9.96 mm thin device has a 7-inch, 1024×600 pixel screen, a 1.2 GHz dual-core CPU, 1 GB of RAM, 16 or 32 GB of storage space and a 3-megapixel rear-facing as well as a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chats.

It also supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 as well as HSPA+, which is the standard T-Mobile uses for fast data transfer - or 4G, as they call it.

The price is $250 after a $50 mail-in rebate, with a two-year contract, and twenty additional interest free monthly $10 payments on top of your data plan. It's just another way to make it look cheap without actually making it so, but then again, if you're strapped for cash, $250 sounds pretty good compared to the regular $399 price tag on Amazon.

Sprint and T-Mobile to get the iPhone 5

There is no shortage of iPhone 5 speculation. The latest rumor says that the handset will launch on all four major networks, adding Sprint and T-Mobile to the mix. Whether that it is the actual iPhone 5 or is instead the iPhone 4S is still unclear.

Analyst Chris Larsen notes that the iPhone 5 will be available “on more networks, specifically Sprint and T-Mobile in the US.” He also says this would increase Apple’s market by 30-percent. Android has more and more become a force to be reckoned with. Given its growing industry presence and market share forecast, Apple is wise to consider easily boosting its own user base by expanding to all four major US carriers.

It would also make sense considering the unit shipments Apple has allegedly requested for the iPhone 5 or possibly iPhone 4S. It was recently revealed that Apple had placed hardware orders for the handset, requesting 25 million units be built in 2011, a number that was called “quite aggressive.”

Last month we also heard that Sprint’s research and development team was internally testing the iPhone, but it was uncertain whether the iPhone 4 or iPhone 5 would be the first iOS device to make it to the carrier. There was the possibility that Sprint would introduce the iPhone 4 around the same time as the iPhone 5 makes its debut, a la Verizon’s iPhone unveiling. But now it sounds as if the real deal, next-gen model will be the carrier’s first iPhone.

And of course, T-Mobile customers have always been likely to get the device, considering its pending acquisition by the original iPhone peddler, AT&T.

T-Mobile to offer Low-Cost Samsung Smartphones

T-Mobile is rolling out two new Android-powered Samsung smartphones, the Exhibit 4G and the Gravity SMART, with post-rebate prices of less than $100 with a new two-year contract.

So T-Mobile will soon have two products that specifically target customers looking for rich connectivity and unique entertainment experiences at affordable prices. The wireless carrier also recently introduced new voice, text and data plans that let price-conscious consumers realize further savings, noted T-Mobile Senior Vice President Andrew Sherrard.

"T-Mobile is continuing to help families easily make the move to smartphones with these new Android-powered handsets, together with data plans as low as $10 per month, all running on America's largest 4G network," Sherrard said.

The Samsung Smartphones:

The Exhibit 4G integrates a one-gigahertz processor, a three-megapixel camera with flash and a camcorder, a front-facing camera for video chats, and a Wi-Fi radio. Powered by Google's Android 2.3, Gingerbread, the Exhibit is primarily aimed at consumers looking to access free entertainment programs from broadcasters such as ABC News Now, FOX Sports, PBS Kids, and Azteca America via T-Mobile TV as well as premium TV content and games.

The Gravity SMART is the latest addition to Samsung's Gravity portfolio of devices featuring social-networking and premium-messaging options. Powered by Android 2.2, Froyo, the smartphone has a spacious slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a three-megapixel camera with LED flash, digital zoom, and a camcorder.

Sporting a full web browser, the SMART has a 3.2-inch touchscreen with a simplified text-input technology called Swype, which enables the user to send messages even when the keyboard is closed. Another feature called pin-it notes enables users to retain important messages on the home screen for quick reference.

Both smartphones have access to Google's family of mobile services as well as the myriad applications available from the Android Market, and are slated to become available from T-Mobile later this month.

The new HTC Sensation 4G that T-Mobile previewed earlier this week is expected to be available beginning June 15 at a post=rebate price of $199.

Low-Priced Data Plans:

The low-cost Samsung smartphones are a big part of T-Mobile's subscriber growth strategy, along with a new suite of plans for families and individuals. Earlier this month, T-Mobile introduced high-speed data plans in 200MB, 2GB, 5GB and 10GB increments as well as an unlimited data plan.

For example, T-Mobile's new entry point for price-conscious consumers is priced at $10 per month for 200MB, while its family plan offers unlimited talk, text and data for $139.99 per month. The goal is to attract the 80 percent of U.S. wireless customers who don't have smartphones, noted T-Mobile Chief Marketing Officer Cole Brodman.

"We're providing customers with the 4G coverage they need, an exciting portfolio of 4G smartphones, and the value and flexibility to meet the diverse desires of their entire family," Brodman said.

T-Mobile launches new Android phones: LG G2x and Samsung Sidekick 4G

T-Mobile is in full-swing, as they recently launched two new Android smartphones, the LG G2x and the Samsung Sidekick 4G as well as a tablet, the LG-Slate.

The Sidekick 4G is the first edition of the handset to be powered by Android (2.2) and features a 3.5-inch display with a forward-facing camera and a 3-megapixel on its rear. The Sidekick also has Cloud Text, in which users can access their text messages via phone or PC.

After a $50 mail-in rebate and two-year contract with unlimited data, the handset costs about $100, but for those who opt for the two-year contract and go with a lower-end data plan will have to pay $149.99.

As for the LG G2X, you can buy it from Amazon Wireless for $149, or any T-Mobile retailer. It’s described as long and lean and the touchscreen measures in at 4-inches. The front camera is 1.3 megapixels and an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash are on the rear of the smartphone.

T-Mobile unveils HTC Sensation 4G Smartphone

In the midst of potentially being acquired by AT&T, the HTC Sensation 4G, formally known as the HTC Pyramid, has finally been unveiled and will be released by T-Mobile this summer. The Android-powered phone is comparable to the Sprint Evo and includes a 4.3-inch super LCD screen, with a 540x960 resolution, dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, Android Gingerbread (2.3) with Sense 3.0 and a qHD display. It also contains many new features, such as a personalized lock screen that allows the user to visit their most used apps. The Sensation will have Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, Wi-Fi, DLNA and the ability to stream to other DLNA-enabled devices. It will also come equipped with 1GB of internal memory and 768MB of RAM. “Consumers have quickly transformed smartphones into consumer lifestyle hubs that are pocket-sized entertainment centers that enable people to take their favorite multimedia content with them wherever they go. The new HTC Watch service makes it fun and easy for people to access premium movies and TV shows while on the go,” says Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation. “The HTC Sensation 4G combines this great multimedia experience within the latest HTC Sense experience in a premium device that delivers a powerful and unprecedented smartphone to our customers.” Before its release date in the summer, the Sensation will launch in the UK, Germany, and the rest of HTC’s key spots in the European market.

T-Mobile G2x available for 200 dollars

T-Mobile has a new device in its Android roster, the T-Mobile G2x. It is essentially the same phone as LG Optimus 2X, which makes it one of the most powerful Android devices on the market. The T-Mobile G2x features a dual-core 1 Ghz Tegra chip, a 4-inch WVGA screen, 8 GB of memory, which is expandable up to 32 GB via microSD memory cards, a 1,500 mAh battery, an 8-megapixel rear camera with 1080p recording capabilities and a 1.3-megapixel front camera for video calls. Also present are HDMI, accelerometer, a gyro sensor, and a micro-USB port. The device is currently running Android 2.2, upgradeable to 2.3 at a later date. The suggested retail price for the T-Mobile G2x is $499.99, but after an in-stand discount and a mail-in rebate it goes down to the price of $199.99, with a two-year contract attached. The device is currently available exclusively online; it will be hitting the store on April 20.

T-Mobile Offering Free 4G Laptop Stick

T-Mobile's new 4G mobile broadband laptop stick, the T-Mobile Jet 2.0, can now be ordered for free, with a 2-year contract for mobile broadband service. The device, which plugs into a USB port on your PC or Mac laptop, is meant to deliver high-speed HSPA+ 4G Internet access.

Most importantly, T-Mobile has continued to demonstrate its commitment to growing its 4G network, with the announcement of doubling the network's theoretical download speed to 42 Mbps and the introduction of new 4G smartphones, the T-Mobile G2x and Sidekick 4G. In addition to the Jet 2.0 laptop stick, T-Mobile is also launching other 4G mobile broadband devices later this spring: the T-Mobile Rocket 3.0 (first device with 42 Mbps capability) and a prepaid T-Mobile Rocket 4G.

The T-Mobile Jet 2.0 is available now. It features Wi-Fi connection management and a microSD memory card slot. So, you can use the laptop stick for external storage as well as wireless Internet access.

T-Mobile shows G2x Dual-Core 4G Smartphone

Despite the news of AT&T acquiring T-Mobile this week, T-Mobile's showing some solid phones at this Spring's CTIA mobile conference. The latest of the bunch, the T-Mobile G2x, is a dual-core beast that runs on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network with 4G data speeds.

The name is a bit misleading-this is not an HTC phone. The G1 and G2 were designed by HTC, but the G2x is an LG phone. And it looks familiar, it is because it is essentially a T-Mobile version of the LG Optimus 2X, which was seen in Vegas at CES 2011.

In addition to the G2x, T-Mobile has announced that it is expanding its network as well as double the speed to achieve a theoretical download speed of 42 Mbps. Customers in Las Vegas, New York and Orlando will be the first to experience the faster speeds.

T-Mobile is showing off a few other 4G products at the show including the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G, the T-Mobile Jet 2.0 laptop stick, the T-Mobile Rocket 3.0 (the first 42 Mbps-capable product) and the ZTE-manufactured T-Mobile 4G Hotspot.

T-Mobile releases video of Sidekick 4G

T-Mobile really wants you to know the Sidekick 4G is coming. In a new video released recently, product manager Joe Fernandez shows off the phone's sliding mechanism and Android interface.

The new Sidekick interface is based on Android 2.2 and Samsung's TouchWiz, although it has some unique Sidekick touches, like those links on the right-hand side of the screen. Samsung's "Feeds and Updates" social-networking widget appears in the video, though.

The screen slides up with a click to reveal the 5-row QWERTY keyboard. The black version of the phone is made of a matte, soft-touch material, Fernandez said.

The Sidekick 4G is supposedly coming out "this spring". Hope we learn more about it at the CTIA Wireless trade show next week.

Sprint Nextel in talks to merge with T-Mobile

The No. 3 U.S. wireless carrier is talking with Deutsche Telekom over a merger with its U.S. T-Mobile unit, the nation's No. 4 mobile phone carrier, according to published reports.

Sprint Nextel reportedly wants a majority stake, but Deutsche Telekom hasn't agreed. Sprint-controlled Clearwire, also could be part of a deal.

Samsung Galaxy 4G coming on T-Mobile

CES might be over, but the 4G phones keep trickling in. As a part of its aggressive 4G plans, T-Mobile announced that the Samsung Galaxy 4G will launch in the first half of 2011.

Speculations for the Samsung Galaxy 4G on T-Mobile aren't clear, but it’s expected that it will have a Super AMOLED display-not the newest Super AMOLED Plus display. At CES, Verizon unveiled an unnamed LTE phone with a 4.3-inch display as well as a phone on AT&T, the Infuse 4G, with a monstrous 4.5-inch display. According to Samsung, Super AMOLED Plus displays have an increased number of sub-pixels by 50 percent and perform even better in bright light than the first-gen Super AMOLED displays.

Samsung Mobile is trumpeting the arrival of "something big" on Feb. 13, which coincidentally is the week of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The rumor mill is buzzing about a dual-core processor, an 8-megapixel camera and built-in NFC support are just a few of the exciting features the next-gen phones could sport.

The moniker "4G" implies faster and T-Mobile's HSPA+ network is certainly faster than its 3G network but right now, it is quite uneven in terms of coverage. And T-Mobile's claims that its 4G devices can achieve "theoretical" download speeds of 21 mbps have yet to be proved in our own speed tests. When we tested the T-Mobile G2's data speeds in several neighborhoods in San Francisco, we found the "4G-like" speeds of T-Mobile's HSPA+ network in roughly half of them. The fastest speed PCWorld achieved was 14 mbps and that was with the T-Mobile webConnect Rocket USB modem.

T-Mobile has also announced at an investor event that it plans to heavily promote its "4G" wireless network, improve in-home device coverage, and by offer low-priced smartphones.

Android-powered T-Mobile Sidekick to comeback

Almost 6 months back, T-Mobile retired the last of its venerable Sidekick handsets, but the carrier has revealed that a new Sidekick - complete with speedy HSPA+ data access, plus Android under the hood - will be making its debut in 2011.

A T-Mobile spokesperson has confirmed that the Sidekick 4G is slated to arrive in the carrier's lineup this year.

The news comes more than six months after T-Mobile finally dropped the aging Sidekick LX, which first landed in stores in 2009, from its selection of messaging phones.

For the past several months, it has been rumoured that an Android-based reboot of the Sidekick line might be headed for T-Mobile. Andy Rubin, Google's designated Android guru, was a co-founder of Danger, the company that launched the original Sidekick almost a decade ago. Danger was ultimately acquired by Microsoft, which recently tried and failed to launch its own line of casual messaging phones.

While T-Mobile went ahead and confirmed that an Android-powered Sidekick is in the offing, it wouldn't reveal any further details about the upcoming handset besides the name - Sidekick 4G - and the fact that the phone will support T-Mobile's HSPA+ network for speedy data access.

The Sidekick has a long, proud history, with the original Sidekick models - particularly the Sidekick II, which was my personal phone in 2004 - delivering a slick, intuitive, and smartphone-like experience back when most mobile UIs were still clunky monstrosities.

The Sidekick's graphical, icon-based "jump" screen made it a snap to switch from the Web browser to an app but its signature feature was the jumbo display that twirled up to reveal a full QWERTY keypad.

For years, the Sidekick was one of the few choices out there for mobile mavens who wanted a slick interface, a usable Web browser, and top-notch messaging features.

Slowly but surely, though, the Sidekick line began to fall behind the times, with no 3G or GPS support until the Sidekick LX landed in 2009. By then, of course, the iPhone had already managed to change the mobile game.

T-Mobile to offer new Microsoft phones

T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom, has announced that it will support Windows Phone 7 software and plans to reveal details of phones based on the Microsoft Corp software at an event on Oct 11.

AT&T Inc, the No. 2 U.S. mobile service, also plans to make an announcement about phones based on the Microsoft software at the event hosted by Microsoft.

New Windows 7 phones are expected in stores in time for the holiday shopping season.

At the event, T-Mobile USA, the U.S. No. 4 mobile network, is expected to announce a Windows Phone 7 device made by Taiwan’s HTC Corp, according to a person close to the matter who asked not to be named.

HTC is a long-time Microsoft partner but has recently been heavily focused on making phones based on Google Inc's Android software. It said it would make new Microsoft phones, but declined to give any further details.

The launch of Microsoft's new phone software is being seen a test of the world's largest software company's ability to catch up with rivals Apple Inc and Google, which have vaulted past it in the fast-growing market for smartphones.

Android based G2 to arrive on October 6

Good news for T-Mobile customers. The Android-based G2 is available for pre-order, with an October 6 delivery for orders placed by the October 4th. The offer is exclusive to T-Mobile customers, with a $50 rebate knocking the price down to $200. After October 6th, the G2 will also be available in Best Buy stores.

Running Android 2.2, the G2 is an updated nod to the original T-Mobile G1, the phone that pioneered the Android revolution in the U.S. market. It’s 3.2-inch screen and Snapdragon processor bring the G series up to speed for T-Mobile customers, which have been surpassed in many ways by devices from competing networks.

Voice search for Kindle Android app
Amazon’s Kindle app now has voice search, and Flickr’s Android app has been upgraded for 2.2 support. Kindle’s extra features include annotations and highlight text, as well as Shelfari integration for social recommendations and book clubs.

Amazon’s done well to maintain an array of apps on Android, even if some do receive such feature upgrades later than iPhone users. The Amazon Kindle is still the only Android e-Reader with such a full range of features, proving the influence of the Kindle brand.

Flickr users can get snappy, with 2.2 capabilities for direct upload. The Flickr mobile website works beautifully with Android devices running Froyo, thanks to the optimization Flickr has done. It’s quite exciting to see more interaction features for web use in more advanced phones.

T-Mobile introduces Dash 3G

T-Mobile has introduced the T-Mobile Dash 3G, a long-awaited refreshed version of its predecessor. The Dash 3G will go on sale in stores in July.

The new Dash 3G is similar to the HTC Snap, which is available on Sprint and Verizon. It is the first 3G phone from T-Mobile to use the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Edition operating system. The handset has evolved from its previous iteration to look sleeker and more smoothly designed. It replaces the previous model's five-way nav button and cluster of small nav keys beneath the display with a trackball and clearly defined, round nav buttons. The QWERTY keyboard appears roomy as well.

More details, including price, to come when available. What is known is that the Dash 3G has a QVGA (320 by 240 pixel resolution) display, integrated GPS, Exchange server support, microSDHC card slot, Bluetooth 2.0, and a 2-megapixel camera. These features are a boost over the previous version, but fall short of some of the beefier specs of phones like the Palm Pre or the iPhone 3G.

T-Mobile takes G1 Android phone to Europe

Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile has announced that it will soon begin selling its G1 Android phone in several European countries. The phone has been available for the last few months only in the United States and Great Britain. The first countries on the list are the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany and Poland.

The initial response to the G1 has been very strong, with hundreds of thousands sold in the US by the end of 2008. T-Mobile Chief Executive Hamid Akhavan describes the phone as the most successful ever sold in this country. It is also reported that the G1 will be offered for the subsidized price of $1.33 (EU1.03) in Germany, along with a two-year contract. In the US, it sells for $179 with a two-year contract.

For the Australian market, Samsung has announced that it would bring out an Android phone by the second quarter of this year.

Get ready for Cupcake
There are also reports of a major update to the Android software, code-named Cupcake. The update is expected to support video recording and video sharing.

The Android mobile platform was launched in late 2007 by Google, along with a consortium of other companies who endorsed the open-source platform. A large community of third-party developers has begun to create applications for Android, which can help drive sales. In addition to games and basic applications, developers are beginning to turn to more business-oriented software.

T-Mobile unveiled Samsung Behold and Samsung Gravity in US

Samsung has again made its way in US via T-Mobile. T-Mobile has unveiled two latest mobile devices, Samsung Behold and Samsung Gravity. The Samsung Behold is the Touch screen smart phone while the Samsung Gravity is a message focused smart phone. Both the phones have customized features to woo from low to middle level consumers.

Samsung Behold is an ultra thin phone with a large touch screen display that uses the Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface. This application will allow the user to personalize and modify the phone. It features drag and drop options to shift items easily on the main screen. This will make the phone user-friendly and can get instant access to theses functions. Behold offers a compelling mobile web application experience to the owner. The phone packs in a powerful 5 mega pixel camera with LED flash and video recorder. The phone also comprises a full QWERTY on screen keyboard with haptic feedback. Behold incorporates a built-in GPS and quad band GSM support. Behold claims to offer a super fast transfer of data and superior Wi-Fi application. The internal memory of the phone is 128 MB which can be further expanded with the external microsSD card up to 8GB.

Samsung Gravity is a phone with a convenient slide out QWERTY keyboard. Samsung Gravity has a 1.3 mega pixel camera with video recording facility that will allow the user to capture their special moments whether still or moving. Gravity also supports the T-Mobile’s MyFaves service that will help the user to keep in touch with their beloved.

It is reported that T-Mobile is planning to market the new Samsung models in two years contract agreement under the price tags of $ 49.99 and $150 for Gravity and Behold respectively. In Indian currency, the corresponding prices will be approximately Rs. 2,375 and Rs. 7,125 respectively. The two outstanding mobile phones with each having its unique features are set to release in November. The Samsung Behold smart phone is available from November 10 while Samsung Gravity will be offered from November 17.
