There are lots of people out there who no longer have a home phone, preferring instead to use only cellular phones. However, for some people giving up their home phone is something they don’t want to do. For these folks finding ways to save money on home calling can be a priority with the average home phone bill hitting $65.

T-Mobile has announced a new home calling plan today called T-Mobile @Home that only costs $10 per month for unlimited nationwide phone calls. The service will be offered starting on July 2 and allows users to keep their existing home phone number and add the $10 month fee to their existing T-Mobile bill.

Samsung and T-Mobile are teaming on a new mobile phone which supports the latter’s HotSpot @Home service for placing calls over 802.11 wireless networks. The Samsung Katalyst is priced around $80 with rebate and service plan.

The Samsung Katalyst is a slider style cell phone which lets you make calls over wireless Internet networks such as those found on your home network or at T-Mobile Hotspots. The call can be carried over to T-Mobile’s regular network when one leaves a wireless zone. One can instant message with others on several different networks using the Katalyst and also make use of wireless Bluetooth technology for hands-free communication.

Today T-Mobile has announced the launch of the new Shadow mobile phone from HTC. This is the first of a number of Shadow-branded phones that T-Mobile has planned for the future as devices that are “designed for people who have lives beyond work.”, according to Robert Dotson, president and CEO of T-Mobile USA. The device runs on an enhanced version of Windows Mobile 6 which hides a lot of the usually interface from Windows Mobile and replaces it with custom menus and navigation. According to T-Mobile the enhanced interface makes the Shadow more intuitive and easier to use.

Aside from this slider looking just plain good, it also features a spin navigation wheel, 2.6″ display (not a touchscreen), microSD memory expansion slot, a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, 2.0 megapixel camera with video capture, media player for music and video, Wi-Fi and EDGE high speed data. The Shadow also has an enhanced version of T-Mobiles myFaves where users can call, email, text, send a picture, send a video or send a voice note easily from the myFaves screen. It even has some instant messaging clients built in, including Windows Live Messenger, AOL IM, Yahoo Messenger and ICQ.

To address the numerous emails we’ve received over the past month after T-Mobile officially announced the Sidekick LX asking when it will be available, today is the day. The Sidekick LX is now available starting today from T-Mobile for $299 with discounts. It comes in colors of brown or blue and features a swivel screen and wireless Bluetooth.

The new LX is the upgraded model from the Sidekick 3 with a larger 3-inch QVGA display, 1.3 megapixel camera, an upgraded browser, push email, picture and text messaging, external caller ID and a media player for music but no videos. It also has a microSD card slot and comes with on 128MB card to get you going.

After quite a long time of speculation and rumored pictures, T-Mobile and Danger have unveiled both the Sidekick LX and the Sidekick Slide. The two new mobile communication gadgets are both pretty cool but might each be targeted to a slightly different set of people.

The Sidekick LX looks to be the new, latest and greatest Sidekick with a wider QVGA display, mood lighting with LED lights that blink with alerts and a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash. It also comes with a 128MB microSD card. The Sidekick Slide comes in a little smaller package measuring 4.6 x 2.4 x 0.68 inches and is from Motorola. It doesn’t have the swivel display like the traditional Sidekicks but also doesn’t skimp on features as its set up the same as the LX.

T-Mobile along with RIM launched a new, upgraded BlackBerry Curve today that not only features Wi-Fi for data but can also connect voice through the Wi-Fi connection via Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) and the HotSpot@Home service. The BlackBerry 8320 can take advantage of both the current EDGE network or a Wi-Fi connection when available, seamlessly switching between the two during a call.

When using UMA, users of the 8320 can talk through a 802.11g wireless home network or public Wi-Fi hotspot without racking up any talk-time minutes as they would through the standard cellular EDGE voice connection. The new Curves from T-Mobile will come in new colors of titanium silver (shown here) or a pale gold (exclusively through T-Mobile) but other than that are pretty much the same as the original BlackBerry Curve. The BlackBerry 8320 has a 2 megapixel camera, media player, microSD expansion slot, full QWERTY keyboard and takes advantage of T-Mobiles myFaves for 5 friends from any carrier.

Today Apple made an announcement, as expected, that the iPhone would be coming to Germany with T-Mobile as the carrier. What we weren’t as sure about is the launch date since the release for Germany wasn’t announced at the same time as the UK. But it looks like Apple isn’t going to let Germany go around iPhone-less any longer than its neighbors and the mobile gadget will launch on the same day - November 9.

There were some differences in todays announcement compared to Yesterday’s. Like everywhere else, the German version of the iPhone will not support 3G, however there was no mention of the hundreds of Wi-Fi hotspots that will be scattered around to provide data connections like O2 is planning for the UK. Also no service plan rates were announced, but they did say the the iPhone itself will be going for €399 (about $550 USD).

T-Mobile has launched an additional selection of colors available for the BlackBerry Pearl which are now available through their website. The three new colors available consist of Sunset red, Gold and Blue in addition to the original Black or White 8100 models.

These new versions unfortunately are not the rumored new Pearl 2 models and have changed in color only housing the same features of the original BlackBerry Pearl. The new colors are priced the same as the original going for $300 with a $100 instant discount and a $50 mail-in rebate …

The folks over at HipTop3 came across some information on MySpace that leads us to believe that T-Mobile may be planning a launch party for a new Sidekick in October.

DJ AM, who has played for the previous T-Mobile launch parties of the Sidekick II and Sidekick 3, has October 16th blocked out for another private party with T-Mobile. This would also be good timing for the launch as well, with the holiday shopping season approaching.

Samsung and T-Mobile today announced the release of the Samsung Blast slider-style mobile phone. The Blast focuses on keeping in touch with your friends through multiple communication features aside from just talk.

Users will want to use this advanced keypad to take advantage of the email service provided through the Samsung Blast with access to email through AOL, Yahoo Mail and Gmail as well as MAP4, POP3 and …

According to a recent report from Rheinische Post, Apple has just signed a deal with Deutsche Telekom T-Mobile to make Germany the next stop for an iPhone launch on November 1 of this year.

T-Moibile has officially announced the release of the latest Sidekick product called the Sidekick iD. SlipperyBrick reported on some rumors of pictures and specs of the ID about a week ago and it looks like they turned out to be pretty accurate.

The Sidekick iD is a scaled down version of the feature set you would find in the LRG Sidekick or D-Wade Sidekick versions, and also comes with a scaled down price of $99 with a 2 year service plan and the Sidekick data plan. This version of the …

Some pictures of the new Sidekick ID from T-Mobile found it’s way into Engadget’s hands via a friendly tipster who found the pictures on a rebate form on the T-Mobile website. The images show the Sidekick sporting three different solid colors of blue, pink and yellow, which seem a little bland compared the recent releases of the limited edition D-Wade and LRG.

Rumors have been floating that the Sidekick ID design will have less “frills” that its Sidekick 3 predecessors by lacking Bluetooth, memory expansion, an MP3 …
