With that in mind, T-Mobile has formally announced their “New Year, New Phone” promotion. The details are exactly what was leaked yesterday with the promotion running from Friday, January 6th through Sunday, January 8th. Almost all of T-Mobile’s devices are available for $49.99 or less. Of course, each deal requires a mail-in rebate card and the selection of a qualifying unlimited Value Plan. Payments start at around $10 per month on phones or $5 per month on mobile hotspots. The Galaxy S II, HTC Amaze 4G, myTouch 4G Slide and all the rest of T-Mobile’s Android and Windows Phone lineup are ready for your purchase.

T-Mobile Rings in 2012 with the “New Year, New Phone Sale”

On Jan. 6–8, all T-Mobile smartphones and select mobile broadband devices are available for as little as $0–$49.99 net down

BELLEVUE, Wash. — Jan. 3, 2012 — Following last year’s successful holiday promotions such as “Magenta Saturday” and the “4G Super Sale,” T-Mobile USA, Inc. will help value seekers kick off the new year with the “New Year, New Phone Sale.” For one weekend only, Friday, Jan. 6 through Sunday, Jan. 8, T-Mobile is giving customers the chance to purchase top devices, such as the HTC Amaze^™ 4G, Samsung Galaxy S^™ II or the T-Mobile^® Springboard^™tablet, for $49.99 or less net down payment — after a mail-in rebate card — when customers sign up for a new two-year agreement on any qualifying T-Mobile Unlimited Value^™ plan.¹

“Some people join a gym as a New Year’s resolution while others vow to stay in better touch with friends and loved ones, and T-Mobile wants to help with that resolution,” said John Cleland, Senior Vice President of Marketing, T-Mobile USA. “For consumers who didn’t get the latest mobile phone for the holidays, T-Mobile is giving them a chance to welcome in the new year with the hottest new devices at an affordable price and help them stay better connected in 2012.”
