Type: T-Mobile cell phones

Specs
Main digital format Shows the main wireless network technology type: Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), or Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). Some CDMA carriers, such as Verizon, offer phones that can switch to GSM when used outside of the United States. Main digital format	GSM
Case style Indicates the phone design: folding, rectangular, sliding, swivel, or a combination. Case style	Folding
Height (in.) Height is measured to the nearest tenth of an inch, excluding the antenna (folding phones are measured closed). Height (in.)	4.3
Width (in.) Width is measured to the nearest tenth of an inch (folding phones are measured closed). Width (in.)	2.2
Depth (in.) Depth is measured to the nearest tenth of an inch (folding phones are measured closed). Depth (in.)	0.8
Weight (oz.) Weight is measured to the nearest ounce, with the battery. Weight (oz.)	4.6

Features
Camera (megapixels) Specifies, in megapixels, the maximum resolution of the built-in camera. A camera with a 0.3 megapixel value is also referred to as VGA. Camera (megapixels)	1.9
Camera flash Some phones have a built-in flash, which is helpful when taking pictures in dark environments. Camera flash	No
Video record Can record video clips. Video record	Yes
Music player Indicates the phone has a built-in MP3 player. Most players have full capabilities, allowing you to sort or view tracks according to genre, album or artist, playlists, etc. They also typically have more than one playback option, such as repeat and shuffle. The small number of phones that lack these convenient features are rather cumbersome to use. Music player	Yes
Memory card Many phones have slots that accept memory cards, typically microSD, to expand storage capacity by as much as 32GB. The removable cards can also serve as an easy way to shuttle files between your phone and other devices--provided that the phone's maker didn't bury the card slot behind the battery cover. Memory card	MicroSD
Touch screen Full touch-sensitive displays respond to light contact with a stylus, finger, or both. They provide an alternate, and sometimes more direct, method to input data and launch phone features and controls. But they often require two hands to operate, and they smudge more frequently than their non-touch counterparts. Touch screen	No
QWERTY keyboard Keyboards make composing and editing text and e-mail messages much easier than a keypad does. Some phones have keyboards that try to save space by having some letters, numbers, and symbols share a key. Those "condensed" keyboards, though still more convenient than a keypad, are not quite as easy to handle as full QWERTY keyboards. QWERTY keyboard	Yes
Speakerphone Useful for hands-free conversations when a headset is unavailable or impractical. Speakerphone	Yes
FM radio Most phones with a built in FM radio require a special stereo headset be plugged into the phone to use the radio. The headset acts as both the audio output and the radio's antenna. FM radio	No
Voice memo A built-in voice recorder. Voice memo	Yes
Voice command This feature allows you to dial numbers from your phone book by speaking the name, without the usual training. You can also dial numbers by pronouncing the digits. Voice command	Yes
Voice dial A voice-recognition technology that allows you to dial numbers from your phone book by speaking the name. Programming is required for each number you want to add to your voice dial list. Voice dial	No
Headset Indicates if a headset is included, as well as if it's mono or stereo (typically for music playback). Headset	Stereo
GPS navigation All phones have some type of location-based technology to help emergency responders find you when you dial 911 or 112. But a growing number of phones support GPS Navigation, services which integrate GPS with maps and search engines to give you real-time, spoken, turn-by-turn directions to an entered address, or to help you find nearby businesses by name or category, such as Joe's Pizzeria or hospitals. We indicate which phones have GPS navigation capability as reported by the carrier and manufacturer. Some phones lack automatic rerouting, spoken turn-by-turn directions, and other advanced capabilities, which limit their usefulness while driving. We don't consider obscure third-party applications or hardware attachments. GPS navigation	Yes

Connections
Broadband data Indicates the highest-speed broadband data network protocols the phone supports in the U.S. Generally, EV-DO and HSDPA are much faster than 1xRTT and EDGE. Most broadband phones will default to slower data networks when the fastest one they support isn't available. Check with your carrier to see which broadband data networks are available in your area. Broadband data	HSDPA
Bluetooth Voice indicates the phone works with wireless Bluetooth headsets and most hands-free car systems; stereo means it supports stereo Bluetooth headsets for music and other multimedia; data indicates the phone can wirelessly exchange pictures, contacts, and other files with other compatible Bluetooth devices, such as a computer, cell phone, or PDA. Bluetooth	Voice, data, stereo
Wi-Fi Cell-phone data networks--even those designated as "3G broadband"--are much slower than the broadband Internet connections many people have at home. But a rising number of phones have a built-in Wi-Fi radio that allows them faster Internet and e-mail access via home networks and Wi-Fi hotspots. On some phones, the Wi-Fi is just for Web browsing; on others, you can use the connection to make calls using Voice Over Internet Protocol. Wi-Fi	none
World phone Indicates the phone supports international GSM frequency bands for coverage abroad. World phone	Quad-band
