 Someone at T-Mobile really needs to get on the horn with Samsung's advertising people. First came the TV ad for the slim T629 slider, which T-Mobile hasn't announced yet. Then today, I got an email about "September at the Samsung Experience," Samsung's showroom here in New York City. Down at the bottom of the email, it says I can "purchase a T509 or T719 mobile phone and receive your choice of mobile phone cases designed by Derek Lam, compliments of Samsung and T-Mobile."
Oh, really? Someone should tell them that T-Mobile hasn't launched the T719 yet. When they do, it'll be a big deal - a flip phone with Blackberry's patented SureType keyboard and Blackberry Connect e-mail functionality. I've been waiting for that phone for months. I assume that if Samsung is e-mailing about it to all and sundry, it's coming pretty soon.

I played around w/ a dummy demo model today at a t-mobile retail outlet. The salesman told me to expect the Samsung T719 to be available on Sep 25. I asked him what the retail price would be. He couldn't say, but when pressed, he hazzared a guess that the range was between 99.-199.00. I actually held off on purchasing the Blackberry Pearl, because I was intrigued by the Samsung model. The key configuration was identical in both models, but the Samsung buttons were more pronounced and user friendly. The pearl trackball on the Blackberry also struck me as potentially problematic after repeated uses.
