Samsung T639

3G

When is a cell phone not a 3G cell phone? Apparently, when it's the Samsung SGH-T639. Though the handset has long been rumored to be T-Mobile's first 3G device, Samsung is not listing wireless broadband among the SGH-T639's specifications. But on the other hand, T-Mobile is indeed pushing the handset as a 3G device, which is odd considering that T-Mobile has yet to launch its 3G network. When we asked T-Mobile representatives for a clarification, they responded by saying the SGH-T639 is a 3G-capable handset that is positioned to be among the first devices to take advantage of a future UMTS network. Well, that explains it.
