Samsung t429There’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…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

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