T-Mobile gets Touch Pro2 and BlackBerry Curve 8520 in August

We just got word on the exact release dates of some of the hottest new gadgets that are going to hit the T-Mobile shelves in the following weeks. Thanks to an anonymous tipster we now know that the subscribers of one of the largest carriers worldwide will be treated to a series of QWERTY-enabled handsets, with the Touch Pro2 the obvious star signing.

The new T-Mobile Touch Pro2 is scheduled to launch on August 12, replacing the T-Mobile Wing in the handset lineup. One of the best-equipped WinMo handsets of all times paid our office a visit for an in-depth review not too long ago. You can check out how it performed over here.

The yet unannounced BlackBerry Curve 8520 is going to launch across T-Mobile stores, starting from August 5. The sleek and stylish entry-level handset is one of the worst-kept secrets in the industry with tons of live photos and reviews leaking online before it even came close to an announcement.

The full QWERTY-equipped BlackBerry Curve 8520 arrived in our mailbox with what might just be its first official photos ever. Spec-wise it has Wi-Fi, a 3.5mm standard audio jack, microSD card slot and USB to brag about. Unfortunately, there is no 3G onboard so users will have to rely on EDGE when a Wi-Fi hotspot isn't available.

The other two messengers that T-Mobile is going to offer soon are that Samsung Gravity 2 and the Samsung Comeback, on which we reported the other day. They will be available from 19 August and 29 July respectively.
