Samsung t239

On the heels of the Samsung t349 announcement, T-Mobile USA is preparing to add yet another Samsung phone to its portfolio. Again, we’re talking about an entry-level device, which unlike the phone we discussed earlier, doesn’t come with a half-QWERTY keyboard. It’s the slider-shaped Samsung t239 that prides itself with dual-band GSM connectivity, 177×220 pixels screen, Bluetooth, myFaves and Web2go support, and VGA camera.

We’re hearing T-Mobile will offer this baby for $59.99 on the pay-as-you-go basis (prepaid) or for free with any contract signed. When will this actually happen, we’re not sure…

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.

    I like the retro look of this phone. I am impressed with the sharp graphics, brilliant battery life etc. It is quiet light in weight. Available in 2 colours- red and grey. I like the red one. It is very easy to use phone.
