Samsung’s 20-key T349 is T-Mobile bound; launches May 20th
We’ve just received this little nugget from one of our ninjas about an upcoming handset for T-Mobile, the Samsung T349. While the device itself is nothing too fancy, it is nonetheless a pretty interesting device in that T-Mobile has describes it internally as a “20-key messaging phone.” Despite the blurriness of the image above, we are able to see that the entry-level T349 indeed features a keypad much like the SureType keypads found on the BlackBerry Pearl and Pearl Flip. Specs are as follows:
- 20-key keypad
- 1.3 megapixel camera w/ video capture
- SMS, MMS, Email and IM
- Bluetooth
- Speakerphone
- Photo caller ID, alarm clock, calculator,
- Mobile backup
- GPRS connectivity
Look for the Samsung T349 to make its retail debut to both pre and post-paid subscribers on May 20th. Believe it or not, this little guy is the first new handset added to T-Mobile’s pre-paid line-up in the past year. Yay?
The list of the best cell providers up there is absurd (well by a little bit).
its:
AT&T Mobility = Gold
Verizon Wireless = Silver
T-Mobile = Bronze
Sprint is in the smae ranking as Cricket and Metro PCS lol
@ erphy
Cricket and metro pcs is in the runing with ATT as far as 3G is concerened. (Cover
Joecurve has won me over. Every device on every carrier should be a 5-8 megapixel camera, 3g, full QWERTY, Wifi (with UMA) touchscreen, full flash, push e-mail, open app market, tether compatibility, complete docs to go and totally unlocked. Entry level phones should cost $500. Anything less is a failure.
A+ for sarcasm

Let me just preface this by saying I am a Verizon guy all the way but…
If you think Sprint is out, you need to do some research into the Palm Pre. Where was AT&T before the iPhone came out? Not far in front of Sprint that’s for sure. The Pre is going to do some damage, I really believe that. (I hope it comes to the Big Red b4 the iPhone does, it’l definitely put apple in their place; 2nd.
