T-Mobile USA is officially official with the we-knew-it’s-coming Samsung SGH-t349. Designed for savvy texters, Samsung’s candybar prides itself with SureType-like 20-key half-QWERTY keyboard, which is additionally powered by the auto-word completion and XT9 predictive text technologies. As a result, the lack of the other half of the full QWERTY keyboard shouldn’t come as a problem.
As for the t349′s specs, you should know we’re talking about a low-end phone and in that sense you shouldn’t expect 3G radio on board — rather, we’re talking about EDGE data speeds here. Rest of the specs include 2.2-inch 176×220 pixels screen, stereo Bluetooth support, 1.3 megapixel camera, T-Mobile myFaves, IM client (works with Yahoo!, AIM and Windows Live Messenger), and a battery that provides up to 7 hours of talk and up to 300 hours of standby time. Size wise, it measures 4.49×1.97×0.53 inches and has a weight of 3.2 ounces.
The Samsung SGH-t349 is instantly available from T-Mobile USA’s website from where you can grab it for $14.99 on a two-year contract, after instant discount and $50 mail-in rebate.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
