Today T-Mobile announced two more phones that are compatible with its HotSpot @Home converged cellular/Wi-Fi calling service. HotSpot @Home, first launched a year ago, allows T-Mobile subscribers to make unlimited phone calls via a Wi-Fi hotspot in their homes for a monthly surcharge. The Nokia 6301 and Samsung T339 are both tri-band 850/1800/1900 GSM/EDGE phones with stereo Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. They support T-Mobile's MyFaves calling program and most IM messaging services. Both phones are available online and in retail stores beginning today.

• Nokia 6301: This bar-phone comes with a stand-up charger and resembles a home phone. It adds an FM radio, a 2 megapixel camera with video capture and has support for microSD cards up to 4GB.
• Samsung T339: This clamshell loses the FM radio and dials the camera down to 1.3 megapixels. It has a slot for microSD cards and supports cards up to 2GB.
