T-Mobile Tap

Nokia 3711

The Bellevue, Wash.-based carrier said the Tap is an affordable touch screen device with a compact design while the 3711 is a clamshell with a unique hidden-until-lit external display.

Both handsets feature a 2.0-megapixel camera with video capture, music player with stereo Bluetooth, instant messaging and email and Internet browsing over T-Mobile's new 3G network.

T-Mobile has struggled in recent years, as customer gains slowed down in five of the past six quarters. It has competed with Sprint and smaller carriers for lower-profit prepaid customers while larger rivals AT&T and Verizon have attracted more valuable contract-signing subscribers.

The company hopes to increase sales and add contract subscribers by beefed up spending, such as its 4G network expansion, and adding high-end smartphones like the Samsung Behold 2 and Motorola Cliq.

T-Mobile said both the T-Mobile Tap and Nokia 3711 will be released during the holiday season.
