There’s nothing special about the Samsung t429, which just recently landed on T-Mobile USA. Or there is it, for a 50 bucks priced phone?
Basically, it’s all about what you expect from your handset. If it’s just the texting and calling — i.e. you’re looking for a phone with basic feature set — this might be the device for you/your kid. For $49.99 after the $80 instant discount, you’ll get a decent looking slider with Bluetooth, VGA camera and built-in instant messaging software to chat with your buddies on AOL, Yahoo!, MSN and ICQ. In addition, the t429 is also the myFaves compatible phone if that actually counts in your book…

Except the “bluetooth” does not handle file transfers. You have to pay to get images off the phone.
