HTC HD2, Nokia 5230 and Motorola Zeppelin going to T-Mobile USA
T-Mobile USA is getting the good stuff in March - the HTC HD2, the Nokia Nuron (5230) and a Motorola CLIQ XT. Plenty of info about the T-Mobile HD2 already leaked, like more RAM for example, but nothing beats hearing that it"s coming in a couple of months. The Motorola CLIQ XT we"ve seen before but rumor had it that it wouldn"t be available outside of China.
We"ve known for a while that the HTC HD2 is coming to T-Mobile USA with its 576MB of RAM, but now we have an exact date - according to leaked slide, the HTC HD2 will launch on March 24th. Previous rumors also claimed that the US version of the HTC HD2 will come packed with a 16GB microSD card, instead a 2GB one like in European/Asian packages.
The Nokia 5230 launches a week earlier on March 17th, and is rebranded as Nokia Nuron. The Nuron will come with Ovi Store integration. It is the cheapest of Nokia"s mid-range touch line up but still the Symbian-powered handset packs 3G connectivity, a 3.2" nHD touchscreen and a GPS receiver.
Finally, there"s the Motorola CLIQ XT (not this CLIQ), which as it turns out is the Motorola Zeppelin. We already saw a version with two phone radios, one for a GSM network and one for a CDMA network. That version was most likely headed to China, so we don"t know if the T-Mobile version will too be a GSM/CDMA hybrid.
The rumored specs of the Motorola CLIQ XT are a 3.1" 480x320 pixels touchscreen with Android running the show. The CLIQ XT also packs HSPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, FM radio, a 5MP auto-focus camera with LED flash and interestingly an HDMI port.
The Motorola CLIQ XT is expected to launch on March 10th. A previously leaked roadmap puts it at a 220 euro (300 US dollars) price point.
