T-Mobile confirmed today that it will soon add the to its lineup. A variation of the Nokia 8800, the 8801 slider phone comes in a unique stainless-steel casing. While the design has its drawbacks (among them a cramped keypad), the 8801 comes with a solid assortment of features. You'll find a 262,144-color display, 64MB of memory, e-mail support, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, and an SVGA camera. Its main difference from the 850 is that it supports the GSM 850 band instead of the 900.
