it seems like we all missed this little gem tucked away in the Nokia XpressMusic 5610’s FCC filing when it went public last month. Yep, your eyes aren’t deceiving you — you’re looking at a T-Mobile logo front and center there. Only problem is, we can’t figure out which T-Mobile they’re referring to. Our gut tells us it’s probably the US one that we all know and love, seeing how they carry the 5300 presently, and the particular flavor of the 5610 bearing T-Mob’s credentials is a straight 2.5G piece across four bands. That’s right, no 1700 or 2100MHz 3G in this place, and seeing how European carriers like 2.5G handsets like they like pokes in the eye with a sharp stick, that pretty much settles it. Cool how we’ve just decided it’s gotta be T-Mobile USA in the post, isn’t it? No word on a release on T-Mobile divisions on either side of the Atlantic at this point, though, so we’ll keep our ear to the ground.

Right on time, the Nokia 3555 flip has come to add precisely zero spice or flair to T-Mobile’s nascent 3G lineup, a ragtag group of middling phones that currently includes the Samsung t639 and t819 along with the Nokia 6263. To be fair, the $50 price on contract is plenty easy on the pocketbook, but we don’t see anyone getting too excited about the VGA camera or bland styling — and it’s not like there’s an expansive display in this place to take advantage of mobile browsing atop T-Mobile’s AWS UMTS network or anything cool like that. Alas, you can get this blue bundle of joy starting today.
