    Now, we know what you're thinking: "this FCC filing is probably just for the preexisting Nokia 1616 that's already launched on T-Mobile UK." Actually, what you're really thinking is "I couldn't possibly care less what this is." Be that as it may, we have reason to believe that Espoo's ultra low-end candybar -- announced late last year -- is on its way to T-Mobile USA this time featuring a 2G-only radio and... well, little else. The cheapest prepaid phone presently in Big Magenta's lineup is $30, so if they could bring this in at, say, $15 or $20, they'd set a new bar. Considering the specs (or lack thereof), that price point seems totally doable.
