Nokia 5330 XpressMusic headed to T-Mobile?

Rumor

The recently announced Nokia 5330 XpressMusic handset may be hitting the shelves of your local T-Mobile store in the near future. A leaked mock up of the 5330 XpressMusic reportedly depicts the slider with a fresh coat of light neon blue paint and a T-Mobile USA logo. Rumor suggests that the handset is slated for a summer launch and its radio will indeed sport the always-elusive 1700 MHz 3G band T-Mobile customers are always praying for. Good news for T-Mobilers as the 5330 XpressMusic would be a nice upgrade to the current Nokia 5130 XpressMusic.

    The current Nokias at T-Mobile are the 5310 and 5610….there is no such thing as a “5130″ at T-Mobile. Either you are dyslexic or you dont do your manufacturer/carrier research too well.

    I think you guys mean it will be a nice upgrade to the 5310 xpressmusic, or better yet the 5610 xpressmusic that has the same form factor.

    @ ThisGuy…

    This is BGR, it’s okay.

    I’d see this phone comes as branded and generic (can be imported)
    I hate branded phones…..

    While we likely *will* see the 5330 on T-Mobile (T-Mobile has a history with the XM line, and a version with T-Mobile’s unique 3G band was announced), a “mockup” by cellphonesignal.com really isn’t a source. They have a poor track record (5MP G2 with video calling in January, anyone?) and for the most part, they take completely obvious speculation and “rumorize” it for hits. I could do just as well, with no “inside sources” to speak of (it’s not like they have any!).

    If BGR continues to link to CPS, I’m really going to have to start secong-guessing everything I read here, which is a shame, because BGR has a much better track record. :)

    @ThisGuy
    chalk it up to typing dyslexia. I am always reversing letters when I type but not when I write by hand. Spell check and editing picks up 99% of the errors. A few, like this, slip through. I did visit T-Mobile’s website to double check its Nokia lineup as I remembered their music-centric 5310. I just mis-typed it.

  • Joseph

    That would be Nokia 5310 not 5130.

  • People seriously need to back off. Kelly made one damn mistake, and you act like you never make any. Hell, I bet you had to read over your comments before you posted them to fix your type-o’s. I know I did.
    :)

  • ThisGuy

    yeah i did reread my comments after i typed them so there would be no “misteaks”, and that’s all I was asking BGR to do.

    It sounds like you’re telling me to back off from Kelly for making a mistake, but then it also sounds like you’re telling Kelly that he/she should have read over the article before posting it. I don’t think you read over your comment to make sure it makes sense.

    Eh, Nokia.

  • Actually, if you read it correctly (as most people are able to), you’d see that I’m talking to “you”, as in the people who were getting on Kelly’s case.

    I’d like to see you (“ThisGuy”) type an article of any sort or size and not make a single mistake.

    Chrome depicts the read link to host malware or something, probably another Google blunder

    @”…”

    1) Get a real name.

    2) If you think this is a real difficult article to write, then you are dumber than you think you are. It’s not hard to write an article and check it for mistakes.

    3) If BGR wants readers to take them seriously, they need to have the correct model numbers of the phones they are writing about. Lets get this straight, its not a spelling error of a word, its an incorrect model number of a phone. I can accept spelling errors, but when you are writing about a phone and get the model number wrong, it really discredits the writer.

    If someone was writing about the “RAZR” and for some reason they typed “KRZR”, you would correct them. Should I mistakenly call you “douche bag” instead of “…”? Would that be ok with you? Douche bag.

    This is a really cool-looking phone, but I hope it doesn’t break so easily like the 5300 or the 5310 or the 5610, etc.

    While I’m at it, any word on the software? I’ve been having trouble with T-Mobile Nokia phones since the 6263 and getting applications unlocked. If anybody has any suggestions, I’m up for that too.

    “While I’m at it, any word on the software? I’ve been having trouble with T-Mobile Nokia phones since the 6263 and getting applications unlocked. If anybody has any suggestions, I’m up for that too.”

    Have it flashed with generic firmware.

    mog,

    I appreciate your concern with accurate reporting from online blogs. Keep in mind when CellPhoneSignal posted the fake screenshots that they were sent, I was writing at TmoNews and I jumped all over them, probably as the leading voice criticizing them for irresponsible journalism.

    I have since switched over to CellPhoneSignal and not only brought with my sources and accurate track record, but I’ve also made sure information on the site will have a much higher level of confirmations and accuracy in the future. I can personally say that I have seen the document directly from T-Mobile showing the 5330, with T-Mobile (USA) branding, listed as late Q2 or early Q3. You are more then welcome to question our accuracy, but you must also credit us when we are right. Thank ya much!

  • @ “ThisGuy”,

    “ThisGuy” isn’t much of a name, either. Anyways, I understand what you mean, and I agree with you (to a point). She mixed up 5310 with 5130, which is like ARZR with RAZR, not RAZR with KRZR, which brings me to another point; she was using model numbers, which are a bit easier to confuse. I mean, if 5130 was a real phone, there would be more of a problem…

    By the way, there’s no need to be rude. :)

    If I changed my screen name or whatever, how would you know it was me?
