T-Mobile is making good on its promise to release its new phones from the fall CTIA show by November. Last week, the carrier put the Nokia 3711 on sale, and Wednesday it offers the T-Mobile Tap.

The Tap is the first Huawei phone for T-Mobile. Its touch-screen design resembles a fair number of other T-Mobile phones, including the Samsung Highlight. Features include support for T-Mobile's 3G network, a 2-megapixel camera with video, a music player, a Web browser, GPS with TeleNav, stereo Bluetooth, messaging and e-mail, a speakerphone, and a personal organizer.

The Tap is available starting November 11 for $79 with a contract or $179 without a contract. You can get it in two colors: berry and midnight blue.
