T-Mobile USA has added a new low-end device to its portfolio. The Samsung T109 is a real entry-level device, sporting nothing but a dual-band GSM/GPRS radio (no EDGE) and a 65k-color screen. It even lacks camera, although it is myFaves compatible. When you think about it, the green (what about other color options?) T109 is…
Samsung JetSet SCH-R550 lands on Cricket
Cricket Wireless has added a new low-to-mid range device to its portfolio. Handsets from this category hardly impress anyone, especially when all the cool phones are being announced for the Christmas season, and the Samsung JetSet SCH-R550 is not an exception.

Simple 3G phone Samsung SGH-A637 now available on AT&T
AT&T has added a new simple 3G phone from Samsung. Aside from boasting a 3G radio, the Samsung SGH-A637 hardly impresses anyone. To be fair, there’s a 1.3 megapixel camera, 1.9-inch screen, Bluetooth, integrated GPS and microSD card slot on board. Supported services include MobiTV, Cellular Video, XM radio, AT&T Mobile Music and AT&T Navigator.…
Fido-branded Samsung JACK i616 Merlot appears on Rogers’ website
Samsung JACK i616 in Merlot color is now available through Rogers Wireless. The strange thing, though, is that the device on the website has Fido branding. Ok, we know Rogers is the owner of Fido, but why on earth they used the image of the device with Fido’s logo is beyond me. It’s not a…

Fans of Pandora’s free Internet radio service who are at the same time Sprint Instinct owners can now “find new music” using nothing but their all-touchscreen device. The service costs $3 a month, which is not that much considering you can stream hours of music. As a matter of fact, Pandora costs that much for…
Samsung Propel coming to AT&T; Young texters rejoice!
Here’s an interesting device that’s heading towards AT&T. The so called Samsung Propel prides itself with the full QWERTY keyboard and (it seems) an integrated GPS that should sing along AT&T Navigation. Simply slide it down and instead of a numeric keypad, you’ll get a full-blown keyboard. Sounds like a texter’s dream, too bad it…
