Samsung SGH-T719 with SureType coming soon to T-Mobile

by Chris Ziegler posted Aug 26th 2006 at 2:44PM

It turns out the 8100 / Pearl won't be the only device with SureType dropping on T-Mobile in the next few weeks. Samsung's curious clamshell, the SGH-T719 with BlackBerry integration and that love-it-or-hate-it SureType keypad, is now listed as "Coming Soon" on T-Mob's site. The 1.3-megapixel cam is nothing to write home about, but it's got Bluetooth and support for quad-band GSM plus EDGE -- not a bad option for road warriors that are, for whatever reason, morally opposed to smartphones but still like their email fresh and fast.

I saw one of these at a T-Mobile store today, and it looks supah cool. The display is gorgeous, the phone feels solid, the keys are backlit in electric blue, and has a BlackBerry heart. It might be a good alternative if they can't fix my BlackBerry Pearl issue (won't ring when it's in my pocket). According to the T-Mo rep, the Samsung T719 is due to launch next week, 9/25/06.
