The march of the thin phones continues. Cingular announced today they'll be selling the SLVR L2 (far left of the attached photo), the camera-less, music-free low end brother of their existing L6 (center) and L7 (at right) SLVR phones. Interestingly, they're pitching the L2 as a fashion phone for business and government users. That way, they can leverage the lack of a camera (and the presence of Bluetooth for business-friendly headsets) but still charge $206.99, or $116.99 with a two-year contract. Considering the more powerful L7 is $199.99, Cingular has clearly found a way to make the most money off the whole line. The L2 will only be available via business-to-business channels.

T-Mobile, meanwhile, started selling the thin Samsung SGH-T509 yesterday, at a terrific price: $49.99 with contract. Feature-wise, the T509 is similar to Cingular's SLVR L6: both have Bluetooth and VGA cameras, though the L6 is quad-band (the T509 is tri-band), and the T509 has a better screen and an EDGE modem (the L6 uses the slower GPRS.)

I'll have a review of the T509 up soon; for now, enjoy the phone's spec sheet from my buddies at PhoneScoop.
