Pocket-Lint has received a tip indicating that T-Mobile in the UK could be launching the iPhone 4 on it’s network. The tip comes from someone who has been right about T-Mobile related things in the past.

The message came via Twitter and said…”@Pocketlint just had it confirmed. 30th of July on t-mobile for iphone4, not on pay as you though”.

Right now there are no prices available at T-Mobile. It is also unknown what stock levels they will have and if they will follow the likes of O2 and provide the iPhone 4 for current customers only. [Read more…]

Apple [AAPL] is launching the iPhone 4 this Friday in 17 more countries. The countries where the iPhone 4 is landing includes Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. This adds to the current five countries which are the UK, US, France, Germany and Japan.

Prices haven’t been revealed yet, but we suspect they will fall somewhere between the US and UK pricing in most places. Mobile Crunch suspects prices in Australia will be $1000 AUD for the 32GB model which works out at about £20 cheaper than the iPhone 4 32GB UK price of £599. [Read more…]

Engadget over the weekend, managed to get some pictures of a HTC smartphone running Windows Phone 7. The device has a 3.7 inch SLCD screen along with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and an 8 megapixel camera.

The three buttons that can be seen under the screen are touch sensitive just like the Nexus One and are function as a back, windows and search button which falls in line with the three buttons Microsoft [MSFT] require on Windows Phone 7 smartphones.

The device is apparently ready in terms of the hardware although the software appears to be not finished in that there is no skinning with just the basic information showing. [Read more…]

Nokia is launching the N8 soon. Vodafone already has a coming soon page up for the N8 from about 2 months ago and yet, it still hasn’t arrived on their network.

T-Mobile has now also put up a coming soon page for the N8 and just as the Vodafone page, it mentions no specific release date.

Previously we heard that the release date of the Nokia N8 was August 25 which is about a month away still. Nokia need to get this phone out sooner rather than later though as it seems it was leaked far too early which isn’t always a good thing for a new smartphone. [Read more…]

Andy Lees, the Senior Vice President of Mobile Communications Business at Microsoft [MSFT] sent out an email to employees letting them know that they will be getting a free Windows Phone 7 and that when they do, they should show it (or evangelise it) to friends, family and colleagues. We first heard this from a tweet yesterday, so it’s good to see that further confirmation has arrived.

We also learn in the email (below) that Microsoft is pushing it’s staff to develop apps and is asking them to download the developer kit as soon as it’s ready and get on with creating apps. Microsoft looks to be making a huge push with Windows Phone 7, and they need to as they are quite a bit behind other in terms of releasing the new OS. [Read more…]

Last night, a new version of Skype was approved and released in to the iTunes App store. The new Skype is version 2.0.1 and brings a few new features to the software, one of which includes the ability to run Skype in the background allowing you to leave the app mid-call and carry on talking while browsing the internet for example.

Running the app in the background also allows you to run Skype 24/7 if needed which allows people to contact you at all times.

Receive Skype calls and IM while other apps are running or when your iPhone is locked. You can also continue your call while you switch to another application.

We’ve had a few weeks of no details regarding the iPhone moving to other networks in the US. A few weeks ago we heard it was getting close to arriving at Verizon [VZ] and now we hear again (perhaps the second time this year) that T-Mobile will be getting the iPhone from Apple [AAPL].

This rumour (pinch of salt required) indicates that T-Mobile US are very close to closing a deal with Apple which would see the end of the AT&T exclusivity.

T-Mobile USA is very close to getting the iPhone in the fall, ending Apple’s exclusive relationship with AT&T, according to a highly placed source at the wireless company.

Talks between Apple and T-Mobile are at an advanced stage, our source says, and it’s 80 percent likely that the iPhone will be coming to T-Mobile in Q3.
