Samsung's T619 Folder for T-Mobile USA

Snapshot by Michelle Ruhfass on Wednesday September 20, 2006.

Recently T-Mobile silently released another new addition to their ever growing selection of handsets, the Samsung SGH-T619. This mid-range clamshell device supports quad-band GSM/EDGE frequencies, allowing users to roam to any country that supports GSM, and comes with today's most common features.

The T619's 1.3 megapixel camera lets users take photos and share them with friends easily with T-Mobile's picture messaging service or send them wirelessly through Bluetooth to their PC. The device also allows for video capture and playback of short clips. For the users that like the idea of a handsfree phone, the T619 offers voice-activated dialing and a speakerphone. Messaging support for all of the major IM clients, including AOL, Yahoo, and ICQ, can be found on the T619, along with typical support for SMS. Other features of note include voice notes, and games, and a built-in music player that supports MP3/WMA/AAC formats.

The T619's battery should provide up to 4 hours of talk time, or 8 days of standby time. The Samsung T619 is available now through T-Mobile retail stores and T-Mobile.com for US$199.99, or US$79.99 after instant discount with a two-year agreement.
