If you are a T-Mobile customer just itching to consign your current handset to the sock drawer in favour of something a little more new and shiny, then be prepared for a letdown.
According to Unwired View, an insider has confirmed (not our idea of confirmation but hey it’s late in the day so let’s roll with it) that the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic and the underwhelming Motorola Z6w are all going to be late. The Nokia handsets have been given new release dates a couple of weeks later than expected whereas the Motorola Z6w is going to be really late, as in it’s never going to launch with T-Mobile.
Apparently the device has been canceled outright due to ‘early testing issues’ which sounds a little heavy handed to us and could just be a nice way of saying the phone was rubbish and not likely to sell well. While Nokia’s bosses are probably still sleeping soundly at night, this is the last thing that the faltering Motorola needs just now. Still, it’s probably best to think of this as a rumour until T-Mobile comes clean with the details.
