Details are scarce, but T-Mobile has a new smartphone: the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, which will operate on a faster, bigger 4G network.
T-Mobile is holding details close to the vest, but it did share a photo with us, which we're sharing with you now. We do know a few other things about it. T-Mobile tells us this Android-powered device is one of its fastest smartphones at 42 mbps. It has a Super AMOLED touch screen and runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor with 1.5 gigahertz dual CPUs.
No word yet on pricing or availability.
When that phone becomes available, it will run on a 4G network that T-Mobile says has doubled in speed and added 12 markets, resulting in faster 4G (HSPA+ 42) to 184 million Americans in 175 markets. T-Mobile also expanded its current nationwide 4G (HSPA+ 21) network to nine additional markets, for a total of 217 markets across the country.
T-Mobile also had some updates on its free Bobsled messaging service, an "all-in-one, cloud-based messaging application that allows users to send and receive free individual and group messages with friends and family from any Android-powered smartphone or tablet, and any web connected, browser-enabled device," which is now available on Android Market.
