A new touchscreen handset from Samsung has found its way into T-Mobile’s loving arms, the Samsung T749 Highlight. Bearing a 3 megapixel camera, microSD memory card slot supporting up to 16 GB, aGPS, 240 x 400 resistive touch display, quad-band EDGE and UMTS, and the TouchWiz UI. We haven’t heard much about this thing prior to release, so let’s reserve jugement for now. I’m especially skeptical about the web2go widget that T-Mobile is pushing on the the Highlight – hop into your local store to give it a shot for yourself. You can nab it for $149.99 on contract after rebates, but if you want a closer look, our buddies at PhoneDog got their paws all over the Highlight.
