- Samsung “Jamong”
- Samsung “Dumont”
- LG “Gelato” AKA Optimus II
- HTC “Bresson”
- HTC “G-Infinity”
That’s a lot of phones slated for America’s third-most popular carrier. TIMN points out that the G-Infinity might very well be the next G-series device to follow the G1, G2 and G2X. The Samsung “Dumont” is noticeable if only for the complete lack of details but it would be nice to see a new flagship Samsung phone on T-Mobile. The BlackBerry Bold Touch has already been outed but the “Apollo” could be a new Curve replacement. The “Doubleshot” should end up being a 3.7″ dual-core, HSPA+ flagship phone for HTC.
The lineup looks pretty packed, with a decent selection of phones from most of the majors. Noticeably absent from the rumors is Motorola, which currently offers the Defy on T-Mobile. Head on over to This is My Next for a complete breakdown.
