T-Mobile forgets you need a network

Oh, T-Mobile. We’ve got to laugh just a little at your latest phone release. See, we were getting amped up all the way back in September about their Samsung t639, which was to signify the first 3G offering from T-Mobile. However, they hit a snag with the old proprietors still occupying the network. So they were forced to wait. And wait. And now we’re in the middle of October, and dammit, T-Mobile ain’t waiting anymore. They’ve launched the t639…they just have no network on which to operate it.

One of the guys from Crunch Gear claims that he’ll eat his hand if we have 3G T-Mobile before the end of 2008. That’s not a good sign. But we suppose that T-Mobile had so much invested in the phone already that they’d be remiss to quell its release.

The best quote from Crunch, though, regards the features:

It features interchangeable face plates, a 1.3-megapixel camera, microSD storage and that’s about it.

Yeah, well, that’s what happens when the main feature of the phone is the network on which it operates. Without the 3G network, the t639 is nothing. Nothing! Bwahahaha!
