Some T-Mobile stores are handing out a long-awaited Tuesdays freebie
The temperature-retaining bottle with a built-in straw was originally expected to arrive in T-Mobile stores on July 22 and was apparently delayed twice. It's finally available in stores now, as first reported by Android Authority . It's a black bottle with a tinge of magenta toward the top and a small "T" logo at the bottom. The exact amount it will be able to hold isn't known, but it looks to be a comfortable size.
You'll have to claim the offer in the T-Life app and redeem it at a store. T-Mobile appears to have ample stock, with today's report saying that you have until July 29 to claim the bottle, but some stores tend to run out quickly, so you might want to grab yours as soon as possible.

T-Mobile Tuesdays freebies are only available at T-Mobile -owned and operated stores, so visiting a third-party location would be futile. You can use the carrier's official store finder to locate the one situated nearest to you. You might want to call ahead and inquire about availability. That's because T-Mobile is experiencing shipping issues, which is why you will only find the bottle in a few of its own and Metro by T-Mobile stores today.
Due to shipping issues, the T-Mobile-branded bottle is only available at select stores. Moreover, stock depletes at some locations more quickly than at others, which is why it makes sense to confirm availability before walking or driving all the way to a store.
These freebies may not necessarily be of the highest quality, but that's besides the point. T-Mobile loves brightening up its customers' day every now and then, and customers sure love these surprises. The giveaways also help to soften the carrier's image and make it that much easier to overlook stuff such as T-Mobile reneging on it promises.

And just like that, T-Mobile releases an AI-powered phone and tablet
Deutsche Telekom, which is T-Mobile's parent company, has just launched its new AI powered devices. The T Phone 3 and T Tablet 2 are now available in Europe, and they bring something new to the table with an AI assistant from Perplexity built right into the software. This is a big step for a mobile carrier. Instead of just selling phones, they are now creating a unique software experience. The new system is called Magenta AI and it is built on top of Android 15. The main idea is to let you do things on your phone without constantly jumping between different apps. The new T Phone 3 has a large 6.58 inch screen with a fast 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, which should provide decent performance for everyday tasks. The battery is a large 5,000 mAh unit that supports 25W charging. On the back, you will find a 50 megapixel main camera and a 2 megapixel macro camera for close up shots, while the selfie camera is 13 megapixels. The phone also has an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected from dust and light splashes of water. But the real story is the Magenta AI assistant, powered by Perplexity. You can ask it to send messages, translate conversations, book appointments, or even help with online shopping. The goal is to make using your phone feel more natural and conversational. T-Mobile is also promising a software support commitment with three major Android updates and six years of security patches, which follows in line with other mid-rangers. Magenta AI is powered by Perplexity. | Image credit — Deutsche Telekom The T Phone 3 costs 149 euros and is available in 10 European markets, and of course, available for free with certain wireless plans. There's no word on whether this will eventually have a global release, but Deutsche Telekom has promised a pro version of the phone for later this year.

It has a 10.1 inch display that uses TCL's NXTPAPER technology to make it easier on the eyes. Additionally, you can buy an optional stylus to write or draw on it. This tablet is powered by MediaTek Dimensity Platform MT8755 and has 5G connectivity. Additionally, it has a 6,000 mAh battery and is rated IP54. Deutsche Telekom is also offering five Android upgrades and six years of security updates. The T Tablet 2 will sell for 199 euros in the same European markets as the phone. Well, this is definitely not the first time we have seen AI in a smartphone. Google has been a leader in this area with its Pixel phones and Gemini, which is also present in non-Google devices. However, Deutsche Telekom is taking a different path. Their focus is less on camera tricks and more on changing how you interact with the device itself, using Perplexity as a central "do engine". The very low price of the T Phone 3 could make it an interesting alternative for people who want to try an AI-first smartphone without spending a lot of money. I have to say, this news came as a shock. A phone running on T-Mobile branded AI software was not on my bingo card for this year. Carriers usually stick to the hardware side, but this is a bold move into deep software integration. By putting Perplexity AI at the core of their new devices, T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom are trying something different. It will be very interesting to see if this gamble pays off and if other carriers decide to follow — such as T-Mobile itself in the United States.
