Nokia 5330 to T-mobile? Maybe!
Nokia has unveiled three new handsets one of which according to the fine folks over at Mobileburn will release with two different bands of 3G flavors one of which is, wait for it…900/1700/2100MHz!! Hip Hip Hooray! Of course that’s not a direct guarantee of release by our dear Magenta but I think I can speak for the rest of you when I say even an unlocked choice would be most welcome. The sooner carriers start making unlocked phones in 1700/2100MHz frequencies the happier a lot of us will be. Expected in Q3 this year, we hope, if for no other reason than for the pure joy of knowing another 3G option exists on T-mobile, that this release hits US shores.
