RAZRs, Sidekick 3s mark new launches on T-Mobile
As expected, a variety of goodies officially greeted us for the first time today on T-Mobile -- but if you're not a Motorola or Danger fan, said variety really isn't so varied after all. Out of the Motorola stable, we have the Miami Ink-themed "Cherry Blossom" and "Dragon" tattooed RAZRs, both of the old-skool V3 variety, which'll set you back $90 after rebates. The upgraded V3t (in any color you like, as long as it's black) comes in at $150, while the flagship Dolce & Gabbana V3i runs $300 on contract. Turning our attention to Danger's offerings, the special Sidekick 3s will run $350 in both LRG and Diane von Furstenburg varieties, a $50 premium over the standard issue.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
T-Mobile rumors: RAZRs aplenty
Just when we all thought we could sit back and catch our breath after scooping T-Mobile's Dash deets, rebranding, and myFaves launch, here comes a barrage of information suggesting that the carrier's not about to let its product lineup rest on its laurels. Most of the information we have circulates around upcoming RAZRs -- yes, we said "RAZR," not "KRZR" -- with a Nokia thrown in for good measure. We already suspected a tweaked V3i going by the new moniker "V3t" would be coming shortly, and it now seems the V3t will be available in a variety of flavors. Besides the stock model, two additional types will be made available with permanently etched tattoos (inspired by Miami Ink's Ami James, apparently) called "Dragon" and "Cherry Blossom." If a tattooed V3t isn't exclusive enough for you, step up to the Dolce & Gabbana V3i, which will confusingly go without the new V3t model name of its stablemates. All of the new variants should drop in retail locations on or around October 30. If RAZRs aren't your thing, keep an eye out for the Nokia 6133 on October 9. The 6133 is essentially an Americanized 6131, rocking Bluetooth and a pushbutton flip feature that's sure to earn a few "oohs" and "aahs" from friends.[Thanks, anonymous tipster]
T-Mobile to get Motorola V3i as V3t?
In case you hadn't heard, Motorola is in the process of releasing its RAZR successor, the K1 and K1m, across the globe. Actually, we probably shouldn't have told you that, because we think T-Mobile wants you to get excited about their RAZR V3t -- a phone that seems to be nothing more than an old-skool V3i with some T-Mobile customization. If it launches at a low enough price point, we'll forgive 'em -- let's just make sure that K1 comes along for the ride too, mkay, guys? Look for the V3t to grace stores in October.[Thanks, Matthew K.]
