T-Mobile HotSpot @Home Adds Nokia and Samsung Handsets

Despite its ingenuity, T-Mobile's HotSpot @Home hasn't been the biggest headline-generating service, but T-Mobile is looking to curb that and increase popularity by adding two stylish handsets to the HotSpot @Home service.

The new cell phones include the Nokia 6301 and Samsung SGH-t339, which joins the existing HotSpot @Home phones including the Samsung T409 and BlackBerry Curve.

The HotSpot @Home service works by merging cellular technology with voice over IP technology. The HotSpot @Home cell phones include Wi-Fi. When within a Wi-Fi network the cell phones will operate over the broadband network, therefore saving you precious and expensive mobile minutes. While leaving the broadband network the cell phones are capable of automatically switching.

Enabling the HotSpot @Home service is a $10 extra to any T-Mobile service plan It also requires a Wi-Fi-enabled cell phone like the recently added Nokia 6301 and Samsung SGH-t339 and access to a wireless Internet connection.
