T-Mobile is getting ready to launch the HTC-made Google Nexus 9 LTE tablet on its network, as a listing on its website says the slate is "coming soon."

The Uncarrier just launched the Google Nexus 6 smartphone made in collaboration with Motorola. The handset was initially set to hit T-Mobile on Nov. 12, the same day it made its debut on AT&T, but T-Mobile ultimately delayed that launch by a week and started offering the smartphone on Nov. 19.

With that out of the way, T-Mobile is now getting ready to unleash the other new Nexus device, which marks the revival of Google's collaboration with HTC. A 32GB Nexus 9 LTE is listed as "coming soon" on the carrier's website.

The 32GB HTC Nexus 9 LTE is expected to be available in early December from T-Mobile, for $0 down followed by 24 equal installments of $24.00 per month. This would amount to a $599.76 total price, i.e. notably more than the Wi-Fi-only 32GB Nexus 9 which costs $479.99.

T-Mobile is apparently listing the 32GB Nexus 9 LTE on its special Underground website that serves as an online "backroom," meaning that it's reserved for limited-quantity devices that are otherwise hard to find. This could either suggest that the Nexus 9 will be in limited supply this holiday season, or it could simply be a marketing strategy to boost excitement and anticipation ahead of the device's official debut on T-Mobile's network.

As a reminder, the HTC Nexus 9 sports an 8.9-inch display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and packs a 64-bit NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor clocked at 2.3GHz under the hood, paired with 2GB of RAM and 192-core Kepler graphics. Other specs include an 8-megapixel rear camera with autofocus and LED flash, a 1.6-megapixel front shooter, NFC, optional LTE, and front-facing Boomsound speakers for a quality audio experience. On the software side, the Nexus 9 is the very first tablet to ship with the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.

As previously mentioned, T-Mobile doesn't offer a specific date for when this 32GB Nexus 9 LTE model will hit its network, but should provide more information as it gets closer to launch. We'll keep you up to date as soon as we learn more, so stay tuned.
