Samsung SGH-T619

Samsung continues to feed the market's mania for svelte handsets with its new model for T-Mobile, the SGH-T619. While the company's SGH-T629 showcases the trendy slider form, the T619 sticks to a simple flip design. Yet the SGH-T619 is no simple cell phone--it's packed with a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth capability, a speakerphone, and world-phone support. Unfortunately its performance doesn't live up to its specs, as sound and photo quality could be better. Yet the SGH-T619 is still a solid mid-range phone, particularly at $49.
The good: The Samsung SGH-T619 has a generous selection of features, including Bluetooth capability, a speakerphone, world-phone support and a 1.3 megapixel camera.

The bad: The phone's looks are dull, and its keypad is flat and slippery. Voice quality is variable, and photo quality could improve.

The bottom line: Despite a so-so design and similar performance, the Samsung SGH-T619 is still a decent mid-range cell phone, if you can find it at a good price.
