Pictures, impressions of Samsung's T519 "Trace"

Been holding out for the guinea pigs to put the Trace through its paces before taking the plunge? First impressions of the ultra-thin candybar for T-Mobile are starting to filter in, and the phone doesn't come without its niggles -- it's simply a question of whether average users are going to be able to overlook them. Reader Josh tells us that the included ringtones are "atrocious" (what else is new?), the cam isn't set to its max resolution by default, the memory card and charger jack covers feel likely to break over time, and the screen seems to stay lit when on charge, making it a pain to place in the bedroom. On the upside, the speakerphone is apparently a winner, and handset sound quality is nothing to sneeze at either. Oh, and this thing is really thin. More pics after the break.

[Thanks, Josh]

Samsung's T519 becomes the Trace

by Conrad Quilty-Harper posted Sep 7th 2006 @ 4:11PM

The official specifications and the real, non-numerical name of Samsung's T519 have been revealed on a "coming soon" page on T-Mobile's official site. From now on, Samsung expects you to refer to the T519 as the Trace, which certainly suits the handset's 0.3-inch thickness. Other specs that we weren't too sure of until now include the phone's 1.3 Megapixel camera with video capture, built-in Bluetooth, MP3 / WMA / AAC player, AOL and Yahoo! instant messaging support, and a speakerphone, on top of the microSD slot that we already knew about. Nothing special specs-wise, although we're sure the target demographic of these ubër-thin fashion phones will be happy with what's on offer.

T-Mobile to get Samsung T629 and T519

We hate to spoil T-Mobile's fun and all, but it looks like the FCC's once again spilled the beans on some unreleased devices. This time it's Samsung's quad-band GSM EDGE-enabled T629 slim slider, and the rather lovable T519; both will likely have MicroSD and 70 / 80MB of internal memory respectively. There's not telling when they'll actually get launched, but we all know it's not too long after devices pass FCC muster.
