Big announcement coming soon from T-Mobile ; Project Black to shake things up?

We are hearing from a tipster that T-Mobile is about to shake up the status quo of the U.S. cellular industry. The carrier's employees are being trained tomorrow for "Project Black". The mysterious sounding name is supposed to be something so enormous in reach that it is expected to lift T-Mobile out of 4th place among the nation's wireless operators. Those involved in this have signed non-disclosure agreements, so this looks to be huge.

Our tipster also tells us to expect a 3G BlackBerry by Xmas. He also ran into a Nokia rep who quit the next day, so she didn't mind revealing that there will be 2 "N" series smartphones at T-Mobile early next year including the Maemo 5 powered N900. He said to expect more high-end Nokia devices to be coming to T-Mobile.

Thanks anonymous tipster!
