T-Mobile’s “Project Emerald.” Just the sound of it alone excites us. The guys at Tmonews have heard that T-Mobile is planning to launch “Project Emerald” and according to them, it’s definitely going to be a handset launch. That handset? A device that’s on par with the Nexus One. T-Mobile has in the past, referred to their major moves as “projects” (remember project dark?) and given Tmonews’ solid track record with all things T-Mobile, we’re not doubting that this project exists. And given T-Mobile’s 4th place standing among national carriers, the project needs to be big enough to shake things up.

The question is, what type of device could gain that sort of excitement? Tmonews suggests the HTC Desire, which would be a really great release for T-Mobile given that the very similar Droid Incredible has been very successful on Verizon thus far. An updated Desire that would take advantage of T-Mobile’s new HSPA+ network would be even better, sort of a Evo 4G and Droid Incredible compromise if you will. But then again, this could just be a fancy way of releasing the myTouch 3G Slide. What do you guys think “Project Emerald” will be?
