We knew it was coming. Now we know when, and for how much: T-Mobile announced today that the Nokia Lumia 710, one of two new Nokia device to run Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango,” will arrive on the US carrier on January 11. It will cost $50 after a $50 mail-in rebate, and with the signing of a new two-year contract (of course).

The Lumia 710 sports a 3.7-inch ClearBlack WVAG touchscreen, has 8GB of internal storage, and is powered by a Qualcomm 1.4GHz Snapdragon CPU. It has a 5-megapixel Carl Zeiss rear-facing camera, which is advertised as working well in low-light conditions. The device will connect to T-Mobile’s 42Mbps HSPA+ network. The backplate of the Lumia 710 can be swapped out for other colors, but for now T-Mobile is only offering either white or black. What, is color a European thing, or something?

T-Mobile’s launch party for the Lumia 710 is tonight in New York City. We’ll be there to snag some hands-on time with the device, so check back with DT later for our first impressions.

T-Mobile’s newest plans are exciting for new (and old) customers

T-Mobile has just unveiled a new set of plans and perks to help both new and current customers break free of lengthy device contracts while guaranteeing you'll be able to get the best deals available on phone upgrades every two years.

Significantly, with the new plans, the "Un-carrier" promises equal treatment for all customers, whether they're coming over from another carrier or have been using T-Mobile's services for years. That's in contrast to the limited-time offers of its rivals, which often ignore their most loyal subscribers in an effort to entice others to switch carriers.

T-Mobile’s 5G is still unmatched — but have speeds plateaued?

Each time a new analysis of mobile network performance gets published, it’s almost a given that we’ll see T-Mobile leading the pack in terms of delivering the fastest 5G speeds. After all, the “Un-carrier” had a massive lead in deploying its 5G networks — and it hasn’t been resting on its laurels.

However, its competitors haven’t been sitting still either. While Verizon may have been starting from behind, it’s been aggressively deploying the faster 5G spectrum that gave it a nice leap in 5G performance last year. Still, Verizon and AT&T are lagging quite a bit in overall mobile network performance, and AT&T has fallen even farther behind when it comes to delivering the best 5G speeds across the nation.
