Nokia Flame, 4G Windows Phone 8 model, coming to T-Mobile according to roadmap

A T-Mobile roadmap apparently shows a new handset coming to the nation's fourth largest carrier, called the Nokia Flame. This phone is expected to offer 4G and is a Windows Phone 8 flavored model. It could be the same Nokia Flame handset that was spotted on a different T-Mobile roadmap last year. That phone was certainly not a high end model and featured a 4 inch screen, a dual-core 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and just 4GB of native storage on board which could be expanded by using the microSD slot. A 5MP camera was said to be on back.

If the Nokia Flame is a low end model like seen on last year's road map, we could end up seeing this device launch on T-Mobile's monthly 4G service. Considering that T-Mobile customers with the Nokia Lumia 710 were thrown under the bus this week with the revelation that the device will not be updated to Windows Phone 7.8, perhaps what T-Mobile customers truly need is a high-end Windows Phone 8 model like AT&T has and Verizon is rumored to be getting.

According to the roadmap, the device will hit T-Mobile stores on April 24th.
