We still don’t know much about T-Mobile’s Project Dark, but I guess that sort of explains the chosen name. Now, thanks to a leaked add (pictured above) it looks like T-Mobile will have 2 unlimited plans to choose from, although it’s far from clear what those will be.
My best guess is that the ‘Even More’ plan applies to any phone of your choosing, while the ‘Even More Plus Plan’ provides you with same unlimited plan, but provides a significant discount on a select number of handsets. Then again, it could be some sort of crazy international or data plan that isn’t currently offered by any carrier. Word is that T-Mobile will lift their veil of secrecy sometime early next week or perhaps as early as the end of this week.
Update: It looks like the unlimited plans are as follows per BGR:
Individual Plan – No 2-year commitment
- 500 Minutes – $30
- 500 + Unlimited Text – $40
- 500 + Unlimited Text + Unlimited Web – $60
- 1000 Minutes – $40

- 1000 +Unlimited Text + Unlimited Web – $70
- Unlmited Talk – $50
- Unlimited Talk + Unlimited Text – $60
- Unlimited Talk +Unlimited Text + Unlimited Web – $80
Family Plan – Includes 2-lines + 2-year commitment
- 750 Minutes – $60
- 750 + Unlimited Text – $80
- 750 + Unlimited Text + Unlimited Web – $140

Last week I got a hands on with the Nokia N900 at CTIA San Diego. I wasn’t totally floored with the device, but I really dug the Maemo OS. For those of you who just can’t wait, good news, Dynamism has it up for preorder. You can grab it for $629 and according to the retailer it will ship October 27th, or so they suspect.

It’s been sometime since we heard anything about Sony Ericsson’s Satio, but today the phone went on sale to Vodafone customers. Sign up for a 2-year plan and you can grab it for free. Specs wise were looking at one of the first 12.1 megapixel cameras, media player, GPS, HSDPA connectivity, 3.5-inch touchscreen, FM radio, WiFi and the always frustrating Symbian OS.

AT&T officially announced the availability of the HTC Tilt 2 and Pure. We’ve already seen the Tilt 2 with official AT&T branding and it looks like they’ll be charging a pretty hefty sum much like the other carriers out there. The PURE on the other hand, will be a bit cheaper but still cost a a pretty penny. On a more positive note, both of these phones will be the first to sport Windows Mobile 6.5 on the AT&T network.
Feature wise the Tilt 2 has a 3.6-inch touchscreen and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. They’ve also stuffed in dual speakers and dual microphones for some much needed and always welcomed noise cancellation. Optics wise were looking at a 3.2 megapixel camera. The Tilt 2 will be available in a few weeks for $299.99 after a 2-year contract signing and $50 mail-in-rebate.
The Pure sports a larger 5 megapixel camera but has a smaller 3.2-inch screen. It will go on sale today for $199.99 after a 2-year and $50 mail-in-rebate.

It was just a few days ago that we got word of Verizon’s Imagio handset, and now today the wireless company has made it official. As previously mentioned this will be one of the first handsets to sport the long awaited Windows Mobile 6.5. Unlike many of HTC’s phones, the Imagio lacks a slide out QWERTY keyboard but does have a 3.6-inch touchscreen, Verizon’s Vcast Mobile TV, 5 megapixel camera and a bevy of other delightful features to keep you entertained.
The Imagio will go on sale October 6th for $199.99 after a 2-year contract and $100 mail-in-rebate.

LG officially announced their “Pop” phone yesterday, better known as the GD510. It lays claim to being the most compact 3-inch touchscreen phone on the market today, although I’m not sure how they’re qualifying that statement. What’s really drawing headlines, though, is the optional solar panel back cover that can provide you with those added minutes of talk time when in a pinch. Other features include 8GB of storage, a single home button that doubles as a call start/end button (it blinks green for answer, red for end) and a 3 megapixel camera.
There’s no word on a price, but you can expect the LG GD510 in the EU this October with other markets following shortly behind.

Word on the street is that Sprint has come to their senses and will slash the price of the HTC Touch Pro2 from $349.99 to $199.99 after contract signing and mail-in-rebate on October 1st. This move only seemed inevitable since Verizon already sells the exact same handset for the purported new lower price and with the iPhone and many other smartphones costing less it’s probably the only rational thing to do when it comes to remaining slightly competitive. Course if I were you, I’d just buy me a Palm PRE from Letstalk.com, who is currently selling it for $79.99 after all the fine print stuff.
Note: if you bought the phone before this rumor emerged, hit up Sprint’s customer care and you should be able to get $100 credit, at least that’s what some folks are saying. Course, you might have to wait until this news becomes official.

It looks like Verizon is set to launch yet another HTC phone, yet this one, the HTC XV6975 Imagio, lacks a physical QWERTY keyboard. While price and actual launch date are still unknown, specs wise were looking at a 3.6-inch touchscreen, Windows Mobile 6.5, microSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, 528mhz processor of some sort, 5mp autofocus camera, WiFi, Opera browser, HTC TouchFLO user interface and CDMA/GSM connectivity. And get this, it’s the first Verizon smartphone to support Vcast MobileTV, that is if you’re into watching TV on your cell phone.
