Tweet

Following up from our initial heads up back in September concerning the mid-range Android powered T-Mobile Pulse smartphone we can now advise that the T-Mobile Pulse, which has the distinction of being T-Mobile’s first Android smartphone to be offered on a ‘pay as you go’ basis, has now hit T-Mobile stores in the UK.

The 3G T-Mobile Pulse is, as indicated above, a mid-range smartphone (hence its availability on pay as you go) and comes with a 3.5” 320 x 180 resolution 65K color capacitive touchscreen complete with multi-touch functionality, an accelerometer to allow for auto screen orientation, a trackball for hassle free menu browsing, integrated a-GPS, a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera (listed as being 5MP elsewhere, interestingly) capable of capturing stills and video and, of course, integrated audio and video player whilst, in terms of additional connectivity, both Bluetooth (v2.0 with A2DP) and WiFi (802.11b/g) are in evidence. There’s no infrared port (who cares?) but you do get an onboard USB port for hooking up the T-Mobile Pulse to PCs and the like.

Naturally, in being a smartphone, you can additionally count on SMS(threaded view), MMS, Email, Push Email, IM being wholly represented as well as a HTML web browser and, in running Google’s OS, of course you’ll get all the usual Google extras thrown in for good measure.

The T-Mobile Pulse Android smartphone is available from T-Mobile in the UK as of now and will set you back from £27.50 based on an 18 month contract or, if you’re looking to opt for PAYG, you’ll need to splash out just over £176.
