Alright T-Mobile, seriously, how can you charge $299.99 for a Wing on contract with a straight face (do carriers have faces?) while every single one of your competitors is rocking a device that’s essentially two generations fresher for the same price? Alltel becomes the latest to add HTC’s quintessential WinMo QWERTY smartphone to its stable, charging $279.99 for the privilege of adding a Touch Pro to your account on contract after $100 rebate. From the looks of things, it’s basically Sprint’s version with a tweaked version of the TouchFLO 3D UI that’s either prettier or uglier than the stock build, depending on your point of view. Let’s be honest, though: doesn’t everything look good in VGA resolution?

[Thanks, theups]

N82 users seem to be among the most diehard fans in the entire Nseries stable, so we’d say they’re owed a bone as a token of Nokia’s appreciation for spreading the gospel. To that end, Espoo has brought firmware v30’s splendors to the N82 hot on the heels of its N95 and N95 8GB debuts, offering a new Flash Lite build, Maps 2.0, speed and stability improvements, and a host of other tweaks. Sadly there’s no N-Gage client bundled, but whatever — it’s available as a separate download, so no harm, no foul.
