”T-Mobile 3G Rollout in NYC Could Come as Early as May 1st
Sources for Boy Genius are confirming an earlier rumor stating that T-Mobile's 3G network will get a May rollout in NYC. The sources also update the rumor pointing to May 1st as the actual drop date. [BGR]T-Mobile's 3G Network Rolling Out May in NYC, Coincides With 3G HTC Touch Dual?
We've been waiting for 3G on T-Mobile longer than we've been waiting for The Police to get back together, and it looks like May will be the month that all this patience finally pays off. TmoNews is pegging the first launch to be in NYC, and spreading to the rest of the country's major cities throughout the rest of 2008 (list after the jump). Of course, it's just a rumor so far, but it does seem to coincide with this HTC Touch Dual Into Mobile found on the FCC, which is supposedly headed toward T-Mobile and features 3G HSDPA. We'll post as we learn more, though we're hopeful that this could finally be it for T-Mobile users to not pull down mobile data at 1996 dial-up speeds.

HTC's Touch Dual is now officially headed to US markets, and after a brief hands-on with it, I'm a fan of the hardware. But at the end of the day, it's still a WinMo phone. The phone pairs the form factor of the HTC Touch with a slide-out SureType keyboard in a (relatively) light and thin package. And though they gave it the TouchFLO interface and WIndows Mobile 6.1 Professional, it only covers up WinMo's shortcomings to an extent.More »

If you're at all interested in HTC's Touch Dual, also known as the sliding version of the HTC Touch, you should take a look at eXpansys's video walkthrough of its features. The top TouchFlo interface is the same as the HTC Touch, which you've seen before, but the slide-out keypad is gives a really satisfying *click*. The narration is in a very dry British monotone, so you may have to slap yourself a few times after watching this to make sure you're not falling asleep at work. [Expansys via Mobility Site]HTC Touch Dual Is Official
The HTC Touch Dual, which we previously called the Touch Slide, is now official. It's got the same front face as the HTC Touch, but is slightly thinner and has a slide-out keypad. The keypad isn't SureType like we saw before, but just a standard T9 interface. But it does have a 2-megapixel camera, 3G (HSDPA and GPRS/EDGE), the TouchFlo interface, and all the standard Windows Mobile 6 functions you love from other phones. Europe only for now, but we'll tell you when you can get your own. [HTC]
