T-Mobile USA on Tuesday introduced Nokia’s latest music-enabled mobile phones, the 5310 Xpress Music and the 5610 Xpress Music handsets. The phones, which originally launched in Europe, are now making their U.S. debut, where T-Mobile USA is the only wireless company licensed to sell the products in the country. (CNET 5/20)

Looking to boost sales outside its traditional product lines, French luxury-goods maker Christian Dior is coming out with a line of mobile phones that will be targeted to fashionistas worldwide, particularly in the Russian and Chinese markets. The phones come on the high heels of similar launches by Dior rivals, such as Prada SpA and Dolce & Gabbana. (The Wall Street Journal 5/21)

Yah, they look pretty hot but why would I pay $5,000 for a touch-screen phone in pretty colors?  I’ll just get a new 3G iPhone with a brightly colored case instead. . .

AT&T will allow its 3G data-service customers to access the Internet free via its Wi-Fi network at its 17,000 U.S. hotspots, the company announced Tuesday. It opened the offer to Laptop Connect subscribers, who pay at least $60 a month for data over its HSDPA and EDGE networks. (CNET 5/20)
