A leaked copy of an internal T-Mobile memo, advising stores of the next two months of phone releases, has been posted online, giving us a sneak preview at when to expect the latest handsets.

In late January we'll get a new color for the Sony Ericsson TM506 and the release of the Nokia 7510. The memo says that T-Mobile's Shadow is coming out on the 28th, but as the Shadow's already available, we're thinking that's a misprint that should actually be the Shadow II. After all, that was the speculative date we ran across a couple of weeks ago.

On February 4th, the company will be releasing the Motorola Renew and the Samsung t119. The Renew is a mystery - neither Motorola nor T-Mobile have mentioned the model, so we haven't the foggiest what to expect. The t119 has at least showed up in FCC documents, but details on it are still sparse. It will probably have a candy-bar form factor.

February 18th gets some phones with a little more hype to them: the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and Samsung Memoir T929. We just took a look at the latest BlackBerry models, including the 8900, so you can check them out side-by-side to see if the 8900's release is something you'll want to get excited about. The Memoir has an impressive-looking eight-megapixel digital camera with large lens assembly and real xenon flash bulb. The touchscreen handset will use Samsung's TouchWiz interface and should support 3G; we're still waiting to hear if it supports WiFi or not.
